Resident, 6 July 2021, carehome.co.uk
“Mum stayed at Shockerwick House for a few months to convalesce after leaving the hospital. Mum always spoke very highly of all the stay, her room, and the food. I found the staff very approachable and happy to spend time talking to me about Mum’s progress, which was very reassuring. Many thanks to each and every one of the staff!”
Daughter of resident, 7 June 2021, carehome.co.uk
“I've visited a lot of care homes in the area on behalf of my father and my friend, and Shockerwick House is by far the best. Everyone I have interacted with, from the manager, deputy manager and to the personal carer is so accommodating, so patient and so lovely. They really do care!”
