About Field House

Field House is a residential care home in Church Stretton, supporting older people from the town and the surrounding part of Shropshire. We are a residential home and not a clinical setting, which we say plainly because people are entitled to know what they are choosing. What we offer is a household where the practical difficulties of later life have been taken off somebody's shoulders. Help with washing and dressing, given without fuss and in private. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here and served at a table. Somebody awake through the night. Company when it is wanted and peace when it is not. Most people move in after a hard stretch, so the first weeks are taken slowly. We learn how a person likes their day arranged before we start arranging anything, and we expect that somebody may be grieving for their own home while settling into a room here. Routines matter. If a person has had a bath at night for fifty years, we are not going to move them to a morning shower because it suits a rota. Being in a small town has advantages we try not to waste. People who move here have often lived locally for years, and keeping those threads intact matters: the same church, the same newspaper, visitors who can walk round. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and have a cup of tea and ask the residents what they think.

Questions families ask about Field House

Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?

No. Field House is not listed for dementia care on the CQC register. If dementia is likely, choose a home that is, so a second move is not needed later.

Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?

No. Field House is a residential care home without on-site nursing. District nurses and GPs visit, but someone who needs daily nursing may have to move to a nursing home.

Can they try a short stay before deciding?

Ask the home. The home has not told us whether it offers short stays. Ask when you call; many homes can arrange a trial period.

Will they support end of life care, so there is no move at the hardest time?

Ask the home. End of life care is not listed on the register. Ask the manager whether residents can remain in the home with hospice or district nurse support.

Can she bring her cat or dog?

Ask the home. The home has not told us its pet policy yet. Ask directly; some homes allow small pets in residents' rooms or welcome visiting dogs.

Can a couple stay together?

Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.

Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?

Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up.

Do they take younger adults as well as older people?

No. Field House is registered for older people. Younger adults are not listed.

Can I visit before deciding, and are there visiting hours?

Ask the home. Every home should welcome a visit. Call to arrange one, ideally at a mealtime or during an activity, and ask about visiting hours for family.

More about the care at Field House

Residential Care at Field House

Shropshire usually pays about £680 to £820 a week, while West Midlands fees run from £850 to £1150. Residential care means everyday living support without nursing on the premises, so meals, personal care, medication and company come from care staff. The GP and district nursing team attend to clinical needs, which is the line between residential and nursing care. Field House has been on the register only since 21 April 2026, so there is no inspection report yet. Royal Shrewsbury Hospital is 11.8 miles away, which is worth weighing for anyone with changeable health. Ask who would cover the gap between the council rate and the private range.
