The staff have created a true family home feel with an exceptionally considerate community

  No effort is spared in making sure residents are comfortable and their needs met...

My very close family member has been a resident at Shenehom for many years now. Every day we as a family count our blessings for the exceptionally skill, vigilance, compassion and kindness of the staff. They foster a supportive and warm community that is a little family in itself. No effort is spared in making sure residents are comfortable and their needs met, and there are regular opportunities for shared activities, outings and trips. There is excellent communication with us as family. If ever there was a model of best practice this has to be it, with the added blessing that Shenehom is itself such a lovely building in a lovely location. Nothing can match the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one is cared for to this level. My family are humbled by the unstinting kindness and care of staff towards our loved one over the years, and we will always be in their debt
