About Shaftesbury
We at Shaftesbury Shropshire are proud to offer compassionate home care across Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area, supporting people to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home. As a dedicated home care agency, we bring personalised support directly to your doorstep, whether you are an older person, a younger adult, or someone living with a learning disability or autism. Operating throughout the SY postcode area, we understand the unique character of Shrewsbury and its surrounding villages, from the historic town centre to the quieter rural communities of Shropshire. Because our care is delivered in your own home, the environment remains familiar and comforting, filled with the memories, routines, and belongings that make a house feel truly like home. Our team travels to you, meaning there is no need to leave behind the garden you have tended, the neighbours you have known for years, or the favourite armchair by the window. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the community we serve. For older people, we provide thoughtful support with everyday tasks, from help with washing and dressing to meal preparation, medication prompts, and companionship. Our approach is unhurried and dignified, recognising that even small acts of care can make an enormous difference to quality of life. For younger adults and those living with a learning disability or autism, we take the time to understand each individual’s preferences, communication style, and aspirations, tailoring our support so that people can pursue the activities, relationships, and routines that matter most to them. In practice, this means families can feel confident that their loved one is being supported by people who genuinely listen. We work closely with relatives, healthcare professionals, and social workers to build a picture of the whole person, not just their care needs. Whether the support required is a short daily visit, help throughout the day, or something more comprehensive, we shape our care around the individual rather than expecting them to fit into a rigid schedule. This flexibility is one of the great strengths of home care, and we embrace it fully. As a newer presence in the sector, Shaftesbury Shropshire has not yet received a formal CQC rating. Whilst inspection outcomes are an important part of the picture, we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the quality of our work through the experiences of the people we support and their families. We are committed to the standards expected by the Care Quality Commission and continue to build a reputation founded on kindness, reliability, and professionalism. If you are exploring home care options for yourself or someone you love in Shrewsbury or across Shropshire, we would be delighted to hear from you. Choosing care is a significant decision, and we are here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and help you understand what support might look like in your particular situation. Please get in touch to arrange a friendly, no obligation conversation, and let us show you how thoughtful home care can make every day a little brighter.
