Excellent manager who really cares about the residents and their needs. She has made such a great difference since taking over and is very approachable. Mum has been a resident for over four years and loves living here. The home is always clean and fresh. The staff are very friendly and helpful and
have given me lots of support over the years. From the reception staff, maintenance man, and nurses to care staff, there is always somebody there to help with any queries. They have a great management team who are truly dedicated. The activity staff are brilliant, and the residents love joining in with these sessions, especially the singing.

My wife has been a resident of Sherrell House for a year now, and I couldn’t wish for a better care home for her. Sherrell House is a wonderful, caring home, and the care my wife receives is 5-star. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, and the food is excellent. I am very happy with Sherrell House

I have my brother and my sister-in-law in Sherrell House. The assistance I had for making this possible was outstanding. To be able to visit both at the same time/place is such an advantage for me, and them. I cannot fault the care my brother has had. Carers have been superb in looking after him. They
have been respectful, kind and gentle and helped him to settle in well.

Review from Guy K (Son of Resident) published on 6 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been living at Sherrell House for over 2.5 years now, and I can honestly say he has been cared for exceptionally well by the professional and compassionate team. After a bad experience at his previous home, I am so relieved he was at Sherrell for the pandemic, as despite challenges in
the early weeks with poor testing and PPE availability, the staff bent over backwards to keep residents as safe as possible. Visiting has been a nightmare due to official guidelines, but I've been kept informed throughout, and when I have been able to visit safely, Dad was in good spirits, well-fed and always well-groomed, which speaks volumes about the care team.
Dad's health issues make him frustrated and snappy some days, but the carers know how to keep him safe without upsetting him while maintaining his dignity.
Sherrell is modern and stylish, always looking and smelling hygienically clean, and the food is pretty good too, tailored to individual needs.
I'm very impressed and grateful to the whole team.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are pleased that you are happy with the care received at Sherrell House. It has been a very difficult time with restrictions on visits, and it is vital that family members are kept fully up to date.

My mother is always happy; she enjoys time spent with staff and has a good laugh. The staff are caring, kind and easily approachable, very friendly. Any issues I have had, I have been able to resolve easily with the unit manager, who always takes the time and the effort to respond to my queries. Lately,
she was so reassuring and made me understand and feel comfortable by explaining the reasons for my mum’s determination. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable by explaining everything that has been done so far and the plan she had in case all that was not enough. I could not wish for a better place for my mum to spend her last years.

My aunt has been a resident at Sherrell House for just over three years now. The care she has received during that time has been excellent, and the team of staff are caring and committed. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my aunt, especially during the months when visiting was either
not possible or very restricted. It is always a pleasure to chat with the team when I visit or if I have to phone with any questions.

My mum needed respite care, and Sherrell House was recommended by her current home carers. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and very professional. I was very impressed by their adherence to the Covid protocols and felt Mum would be completely safe and happy there. Each member of staff
that I met seemed genuinely interested in Mum's needs, and nothing was too much for them. When I picked her up at the end of her stay, she said that she didn't want to leave.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Sherrell House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.952 for Sherrell House is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.952
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.761 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sherrell House is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 92 registered maximum number of service users is 18.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.761
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

I have worked in the care sector for 19 years, but I was inspired to join Excelcare in particular because of the strong family feel and environment. All team members make you feel like you belong from the moment you start to work here. From when I first visited Sherrell House, I was so impressed with the compassion I could feel from the team every time that they spoke to, or about the people living in the home.


When I started at my first job in care, I was quite disheartened as there was no real team spirit or motivation. However, I am so glad that I continued in care, because that is certainly not the case at Sherrell House. I am part of a team that puts in 100% all of the time and is incredibly passionate. This is a fantastic environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing where my future in Excelcare takes me.
