My mother was resident for nearly 3 years at The Shelley, and the care and compassion she was shown was fantastic. My mother regularly told me how she felt cared for and loved. The care dignity and attention to detail was of a high standard and the activities also helped keep my mum engaged
Food was fantastic and staff were friendly personable and attentive
When my mum went into end of life care, the care and compassion was second to none - both my mum and my family were supported in such a way that was incredibly moving.
I would recommend The Shelley extremely highly to anyone thinking of going there

All carers excellent. Shelley very very comfortable. Food excellent actactives are enjoyable. Going home from a long respite, I want to take the chef's with me. Felt safe.

I visited a resident in the home, my initial impression was that the home was stunning in its style and cleanliness, it looked like a 5 star hotel. There were plenty of helpful and friendly staff and all the residents were engaged in a dance session, it was lovely to see everyone happy and so
engaged. I was soon offered refreshments by the staff, which were all homemade and tasted lovely together with a freshly ground coffee. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed. I have visited many care homes in the past, and can honestly say I have never seen such a beautiful, well run home, it was refreshing and restored my faith in care homes.My friend is thriving and always speaks highly of the home and all the staff

The Shelley is warm and welcoming. I stayed for a week after surgery and was very impressed. The staff are lovely, happy and friendly and the food is excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Would certainly be happy to return.

The Shelley has the most caring staff who all go above and beyond their daily duties. All get to know the residents personally and their families and make them feel at home and valued. I can't praise them highly enough. Both my parents have enjoyed living there and all their changing needs have been
met with kindness and understanding. The home itself is very comfortable, incredibly clean and very tastefully decorated and is like a boutique hotel. The residents are offered activities twice a day from excellent staff who plan everything to be interesting to the age group and each individual. Two chefs provide nutritious and very tasty food daily. I definitely recommend The Shelley.

The Shelley is a warm hearted and friendly to all. I enjoy the food, and have a choice. I enjoy most activities, especially cross words and quizzes, etc.

The Shelley provided the best care for mum who was a little apprehensive before coming. However, she has had a wonderful time and actually is feeling quite emotional about leaving. She said they had a wonderful chef, and the staff were very attentive, even knowing when she woke during the night and
giving her a cup of tea.
She very much enjoyed joining in with the various activities and hopes to visit again.

When I arrived, I was as ill as I have ever been. Frankly, I did not know if I was going to make it at all. What pulled me through, apart from the underred grace of a loving God, was the kindness of the people. This is a care home where they really do care. You can have all the material comforts,
etc, in the world, but without real care for people who really need it, the outer conditions would count for nothing. I guess St Paul would have understood. At first, I could not even make the end of the corridor. Now I can walk down the seafront with ease. It'll be hard to go, love the place.

I am very happy here - everyone is kind and helpful. I have been here nearly a year and am happy to continue.

The Shelley is a truly exceptional home. My mother said she never wanted to 'end up' in a care home but due to circumstances there was no choice for the last 2 years of her life and despite her reticence she told me many times how lucky she was to be there, how safe and cared for she felt and how
wonderful all the staff were. It felt like she was in her own home with every single member of staff going above and beyond and genuinely caring for the residents as well as getting to know and supporting the wider family. The staff team remained consistent over the 2 years which says something for the management and all the staff seemed to love working there and really wanted the best for the residents- lovely personal touches and nothing was too much trouble . The rooms are also spacious and bright and my mother had one opening onto the garden which she loved to look onto as she became less mobile. We also felt lucky to have found the Shelley- thank you so much to everyone there.

My sisters and I could not have wished for a better home for our mother than The Shelley.Their warm and compassionate care for her, especially over these last few months when everything became very challenging for her, was commendable and certainly served add significantly to her quality of life.
Truly a home from home for our mother.
Thank you to all the team at The Shelley.
