  • Stretton Hall Nursing Home, Church Stretton
Set in the midst of the Shropshire Hills, Stretton Hall Nursing Home is just a short drive from Church Stretton, also known as 'Little Switzerland'. It has 50 elegantly decorated bedrooms, a cinema room and a vintage tea-room.

It's the perfect place for a short respite stay as well as very specialist care. It's Garden Suite brings to life Morris Care's Cedar Philosophy, a pioneering approach to dementia care.

The 18th-century hall has been sympathetically restored and redeveloped to create luxuriously appointed bedrooms all with en-suite facilities and state of the art equipment. The bedrooms are spacious and many overlook the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

Social wellbeing plays a huge part in the care provided at Stretton Hall. Its enthusiastic and committed social life coordinator, dedicates time to ensuring residents and visitors have a diverse and exciting activity schedule to enjoy.

From visits to the local Yew Tree Pub and in-house ‘Ritz inspired’ afternoon teas, to visits from lambs at Easter and regular creative visitors including bell ringers and singers, there is something for everyone to get involved with.

Social interaction and activities like these are all aimed at stimulating the mind, combating loneliness and unlocking residents’ fond memories.

We as a family were incredibly happy with Stretton hall. The staff really display the up most professionalism, kindness and care. Bring honest in this review, the only issue we spotted were that the amount of staff seemed to decrease since the new company took on the management. All the staff deserve
praise and appeared to work even harder to make up for when they were short. I hope their wage reflects their value. Thank you so much.

Stretton Hall is a care home run wholly for its residents not for any other reason, its speed of recovery after the flood is a testament to the dedication of the staff. All in all, I would recommend it to all who require compassionate care for a relative.

Keep up the good work.

I was most impressed with the care my late husband received at Stetton Hall recently. He had excellent care and was treated with respect and dignity. At the end of his life, I was able to be with him and I was also treated with the same respect and dignity. We couldn't have chosen a better nursing home!

My mother in law was unable to walk or stand due to a urine tract infection. I didn't think hospital was the place for her, felt she needed some tender loving care. It was quite stressful knowing what to do for the best. Rang up Stretton Hall and spoke to the amazing manager. They agreed to accept her
as an emergency admission. We are so grateful. She is up and about and on her feet again. Everyone has been fantastic. Thank you.

Stretton Hall cared and looked after my sister for approximately eleven months. The help and support she received was second to none. As a visitor, I was always impressed at how happy and friendly all the staff are. Growing old and frail is difficult to manage, but my sister received the best care she
could have hoped for. Thank you for your support.

We could not have wished for a better place for my dear relative of 94 years to have spent his last days. From beginning to end, everything went smoothly and efficiently. The room was spacious, warm, clean and comfortable with an outlook onto trees and a garden. We cannot praise and thank the staff
enough for their endearing smiles, kindness and compassion they showed to our relatives and to family and friends who visited.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The whole experience of having my mother and father-in-law in Stretton Hall has been a positive one. The staff at Stretton Hall cannot do enough for them. It's obviously a logistical challenge when you are presented with 2 elderly people within a few months who both require nursing care and who would
like to have rooms near each other. But they really pulled out all the stops for them so they could have rooms almost adjacent. They even offered to turn one room into a shared bedroom and the other a living room. The staff are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The facilities are excellent, more like a hotel than a care home. The previous care home in Ludlow was very sterile and not homely, whereas Stretton Hall has a lovely feel about it.
Special mention to the staff members who we have had cause to deal with regularly but in reality all of the staff and the entertainment that Stretton Hall brings in from outside are awesome. Thanks for taking great care of them.

My father spent four months at Stretton Hall when he became too frail to stay at home. The care and attention, kindness and consideration shown by the whole staff was exemplary, right from his first day until the day he died. I could not recommend this home more highly to anyone needing care and attention
in their final days.

Overall, I am delighted and really appreciate the care my Mum has received over the last 21 months. Warm, friendly, responsive staff who engage professionally, constructively and co-operatively with the residents and family. For all categories, I wanted to give an 'excellent' rating but feel that in
reality, they don't quite make it - very good usually but not excellent, why? Not enough attention to detail, which actually is extremely important. The fees and the huge increase can never be value for money.

My mum has been well looked after at Stretton Hall. She recently lost her husband and all the staff have been supportive, inviting her to join in activities, socialise and helping her adjust. The activities coordinator organises a wonderful range of activities building on the interests of residents,
with regular outings too. Every day, Mum gets to choose from an impressive menu and she enjoys eating in a homely, restaurant environment with others. The menus are planned based on the residents feedback, and adapted to suit individual preferences and needs. She can also choose to eat in her comfortable room, if she prefers. Everyone on the staff team works extremely hard to meet the needs of residents treating them with dignity and respect, and always a smile. The home is clean, bright and welcoming with regular special family events as well as opportunities to share information and give feedback.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.642 for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 254 Ratings = 4.642

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stretton Hall Nursing Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
