About Holy Cross Care Homes

We are a residential care home in Shrewsbury, offering a settled home to older people, including those living with dementia. We also take respite bookings, whether that is planned ahead so a family carer can have a proper break or arranged more quickly when somebody needs support for a few weeks. We try to run the place at the pace of the people who live here rather than the pace of a rota. That means people get up when they are ready, eat what they actually want and spend the day in the way that suits them. Some want company and something going on. Others would rather sit quietly with a paper. Both are perfectly reasonable ways to spend an afternoon and neither needs justifying to us. Dementia asks something particular of a care home. Familiar faces, a day that does not change shape without warning, and staff who can tell the difference between somebody being difficult and somebody being frightened or in pain. We put a lot of weight on our team knowing each resident well, because that knowledge is what makes the difference when someone cannot easily say what is wrong. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome here and we would always rather you visited than took our word for anything. Please contact us and we will find a time for you to come and look round and meet some of the people who live here.
