About Shenstone House
Shenstone House is a care home in Kidderminster. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. One thing worth looking at when you visit any home is how long the staff have been there. A settled team tells you more than the state of the furnishings. People who stay learn the residents properly, notice when somebody is off colour and handle a difficult moment calmly because they have met it before. We put our effort into keeping good staff for that reason, and we would suggest asking them directly rather than asking us. The day belongs to the residents. They choose when to get up, what to eat, where to spend their time and how much company they want. Rooms belong to the people in them, and relatives visit without appointment. Where sight or hearing has failed, we say who has come into the room and describe what is happening. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see us if you are considering care locally.
