The Shelley

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.

Mum stayed almost a month for respite care during which time the staff cared for her with amazing kindness and made her feel safe and well cared for, nothing was too much trouble, from the cleaners, kitchen staff, carers and management. As a family we were made very welcome. I can highly recommend Place

Place Farm House was the perfect place for my mum convalescence. The kindness exceptional care and comfort was amazing. All facilities were spotless and communal areas were well maintained. There was always a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Mum commented on how wonderful the food was at all times
and how accommodating the chef was to her dietary need. A huge thank you to your dedicated team at place farm house I couldn't have wished for any more for mum.

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.

I cannot recommend Place Farm enough. All of the staff genuinely care for all the residents, as well as treating the residents with respect, dignity and lots of humour. The home puts on a range of activities, including word games, bingo, Play Your Cards Right, trips to the local coffee shop, church,
garden centre, and trip to the local drama show. They encourage residents if they want to be included in activities but are not pushy.
Cannot recommend this home enough for your relatives/friends enough.

We had a big decision in August 2024 when my dad felt he couldn't look after himself any longer. It was a hard transition in the first couple of weeks, all the staff have been lovely, so patient and caring and always up for a bit of banter (which Dad loves). He's settled in and is now starting to join
in activities and trips, make friends and leads a more fulfilling life. Importantly, he has his own room when he needs a bit of space and quiet time to himself.
The food has been amazing and every effort has been made to encourage Dad to eat to improve his health.
There has always been someone I can have a chat with when needed about Dad's health.
I'm so pleased we found Place Farm and the wonderful, caring, calm and fun staff.
A big thank you to everyone.

I have had connections with Place Farm House for over ten years, firstly, care for my beloved aunty and now my precious mum. I have never had any anxiety or concerns that the care was, is, ever less than 100%. The staff always engage with any worries or questions I have with kindness and respect. Leaving
one's most dear family members is the hardest decision and I will be forever thankful to Place Farm for making this transition.

Place Farm House, what a wonderful place for people to recuperate from an illness or long-term care. The staff are very friendly and supportive. Management excellent and provided guidance and support when needed. Even when undergoing renovation work the home was spotlessly clean. Great place to stay.

All the staff at Place Farm House are wonderful and go about their work with diligence, patience and humour. They’re all so calm and nothing is too much trouble. My dad was there for five years and always referred to it as his 'home'. He enjoyed his food and a chat and I’m pleased to say that at Place
Farm House he thoroughly enjoyed the home-cooked food and staff have the time and inclination for a good old conversation. He did not want for anything in terms of the facilities, he was comfortable and entertained, either through the home run activities/excursions (varied and fun), the TV in his room, reading on his tablet, and chats with staff and other residents. His heart's desire was to end his days at Place Farm House and following a few days of Palliative care this came to be. The staff were just amazing during this time with input and medical care from a local hospice. We are so very grateful. He was in his bed, in his room, in his home.

Reply from Karen Reid, Registered Manager at Place Farm House

Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate the great feedback and will pass this on to the team. It was our pleasure to look after your dad, as he was a lovely man who was a major part of the Place Farm Family and will be sorely missed by all.
