"The staff at Shockerwick House Care Home have been amazing with our son and adapted to his needs as he is only 31 years of age. No care homes would accept him due to his age but we are so grateful that they accepted him at their lovely home. Even though he is young his personal care is high. They are constantly looking at things that would help him and make his stay as enjoyable as can be due to his disability. Once again I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff."

"I was in Shockerwick House for a fortnight's respite care following a foot fusion operation which meant that I was unable to weight-bear on my right leg. Shockerwick House is a large Georgian building set on exceptionally attractive grounds. It is a very efficiently managed care home, the staff are all very kind and helpful, and most of them have been there for many years. I could not have asked for better care; the carers were always cheerful, the nurses attentive, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was good too. I strongly recommend Shockerwick House for those who need the care of the highest order. "
Respite Resident, 20th June 2023, carehome.co.uk
"My mum was only at the home for a very short time receiving end-of-life care. The decision to move her to Shockerwick was honestly the best we could have made to ensure that her last few days were dignified and that she was taken wonderful care of. The whole team at Shockerwick clearly are filled with compassion, and this shows up in how they treated not just my mum but our entire family. They were kind, honest and made sure that we knew what was happening at all times and nothing was ever a bother for them. The comfort we all had knowing she was receiving the very best care meant we were able to see her as a family and not as carers which made our final days with her meaningful. It is rare to meet people who are genuine and caring about what they do and how they do it, but the team at Shockerwick went above and beyond on every level. We will forever be grateful for what they did for my mum and for us as a family. I cannot recommend the home and the team there more highly. "
