I am an ex-relative member of a resident, and my opinion about Sherrell House is that it is the best nursing home in the area. They've got an amazing care-plus nursing team along with the management team. All of them are brilliant; they are five stars.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your review. We appreciate your feedback and kind words. We are so grateful for all the support you have given since mum has been at Sherrell House.
The care provided for my mother in her last difficult months was exemplary. Every member of staff at Sherrell House has been amazing. This has made a very tough time much easier and gave Mum her dignity right to the very end. Wonderful people providing the best of care, real care. Thank you.

Thank you, David, for taking the time out to share your kind words. The team will appreciate your feedback immensely.
Since my friend has been a resident at Sherrell House, he has settled very well and has been treated with respect and excellent care by the care home staff. As he is blind, this is very important.

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.

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...
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....
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.
Thank you so much for your review. I am so pleased that you feel reassured. It is very important to us that we support the relatives of our residents.

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.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I know it is a real boost for the team to see this.

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.
Thank you so much for your nice comments. I am so very pleased that your Mum had a good stay; it was a pleasure having her stay with us.
Beautiful place and atmosphere. The staff strike the balance between being professional but caring. The management is very, very reassuring and takes the lead. The care staff are very dedicated, and they have helped Mum so much.

All staff so caring and informative. They are always available to ask questions and answer. The home is kept spotlessly clean, and the reception is like a hotel reception.

I am a qualified nurse and midwife with additional qualifications in psychiatric and community nursing, giving me a broad and well-rounded clinical background. Before working in elderly care, I gained extensive experience in Intensive Care, specialising in cardiac care, and I also hold a qualification in nutrition management, which supports a holistic approach to residents’ health and well-being.
Caring for older people is something I am deeply passionate about. Every resident has a life story that deserves to be respected and honoured, and I strongly believe they should always be treated with kindness, dignity, compassion, and the highest standard of care.
I chose to join the Sherrell House team because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-centred care and the commitment shown by its compassionate and dedicated team.
Outside of work, music has always been a big part of my life. I used to play both the piano and saxophone, and although it has been a while, my love of music remains. I also enjoy cooking and like to think I can occasionally channel my inner Michelin-star chef!
