Thank you for the last 8 years of my mother's life. She was looked after in every way by all the staff at the carehome. My partner and myself were welcome to visit at any time. Thank you so much to Shrublands!

Lovely small community of residents, it feels like they are living in a large house with friends. There always seems to be plenty of staff and they have time to sit and talk to the residents and play games with them where appropriate. I have not seen this level of care in other larger more modern
care homes where I feel residents are often processed rather than cared for. The food is freshly cooked daily and of a great standard. Every resident is cared for as an individual.

An outstanding and welcoming care home. The ethos is one of caring family values. My mother told me today that she was so comfortable and happy at Shrublands, and she only wished that every care home could be a wonderful as Shrublands and their staff.
Jane the founder and Nigel the manager have
created an exceptional environment that treats all of the residents with dignity and care. We feel very lucky to have found such a special home.

My mother attended Shrublands Care Home in September 2025. I was so overwhelmed by the kindness shown to my mother during her time there. The staff were so friendly and were there for Mum. Mum was asked what she would like to eat at mealtimes and it was cooked in the large kitchen whilst Mum sat
chatting to both residents and staff.
I would recommend this Care Home wholeheartedly. If you need respite for a loved one or indeed the longer stay, well, this is the place. A small comfortable home and so much like moving from home to home. Thank you.

My mum has been at Shrublands since January 2024 and I couldn't be happier. She has the best care and attention she could wish for, the food is home cooked daily and looks delicious. We recently attended a garden party which was so much fun - lots of food and drink (non-alcoholic)- games to play and
the Bingo was great fun - and mum won too. Each time we visit is a pleasure and I am so grateful for everything the carers do. Mum has made new friends and so have we. Thank you

Our late mother was a resident at Shrublands for about 5 years until she passed away last month. The informal and cozy family atmosphere was absolutely perfect for her and the level of care was consistently very high. Mum took to Shrublands right from the beginning and felt very much at home there.
She enjoyed the outdoor spaces and communal areas, and had a lovely spacious room with ensuite facilities where she felt very much at home. The team of carers were friendly, kind and efficient.
She enjoyed the excellent home-cooking and the communal meals.
Our family would highly recommend Shrublands.

In general I have experienced a friendly atmosphere from the staff and the management are in good spirits. The patients all seem happy and satisfied.

My mum has been in Shrublands since February 2023 and is loving it. She has someone to care for her when she requires it. She thinks the food is wonderful, home-cooked and a good variety. She has someone to talk to whenever she fancies a chat. Can't praise the home enough!

My mother has been resident for twenty months at Shrublands. She is happy and settled and receives very good care. Staff are attentive and managers always available. I and my brothers have no complaints, concerns or worries.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The care home is not posh but very homely just like being at home. It's the care that matters not the surroundings. My friend is getting love, care and is well looked after that is all she needs.

I can't thank the team of carers at Shrublands enough. They provided such great care and support to my Father and although he was only with them a short time he settled in well and Shrublands was very much a home-from-home.

My friend has been a resident for approximately nine years. She has no mobility or speech but is treated with loving care. A smile and a hug is readily available by the staff. Visitors are always made very welcome. The food is freshly cooked, homemade and nicely presented. The kitchen diner is very
homely where residents can sit, play cards, have a cuppa or just chat with staff. Definitely a home-from-home. I'd live here.
