About Cliffdale Rest Home

Cliffdale Rest Home is in Shrewsbury, and we provide residential care for older people who need support with daily living, along with respite stays for those who need somewhere for a shorter time. We aim to run a home rather than an institution, and most of that comes down to ordinary detail. What time you like to get up. Whether you want company at meals or would rather read the paper in peace. Which programmes you never miss and which chair is yours. We help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility, and we do it in a way that keeps as much privacy and as much choice with the person as possible. Where someone can still do something themselves, we leave them to it. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. We keep the daily rhythm and the surroundings steady, we give people time rather than hurrying them along, and we take trouble to learn about a person's earlier life, because that knowledge is what helps us understand a mood or a repeated question. Families usually hold that story, and we ask for it. Respite bookings are planned with as much care as permanent moves, since a break is only genuinely restful if the person at home has settled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on an ordinary day, have a cup of tea, and ask us anything at all.
