About Hagley Place

Hagley Place is a nursing home in Ludlow, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults across south Shropshire, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration early are the ordinary content of our days rather than exceptional events. In a rural area, where a hospital trip is a longer undertaking, being able to manage health needs properly here matters a great deal. Good nursing is the foundation and not the purpose. The purpose is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after. So we ask before we act, we keep personal care private, we make visitors welcome at awkward hours, and we take the trouble to learn what a particular person would actually like to do with an afternoon. For residents with a physical disability, the right equipment and staff who know each individual's preferred way of transferring mean getting out of a room is never a question of staff convenience. With dementia we rely on familiar faces and an unhurried pace rather than correction. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and see us, speak to the nurses on duty, and ask about the hard nights.

More about the care at Hagley Place

Nursing Care at Hagley Place

Twenty one miles separate Hagley Place from the nearest 24 hour A&E at Hereford County Hospital, which is a long way by any measure. The home makes the point itself, noting that in a rural area a hospital trip is a longer undertaking and that managing health needs on site matters a great deal. Qualified nurses are on duty at all hours by its own account, handling medication, wound care, nutrition, pain and skin, and the monitoring that catches deterioration early. West Midlands weekly fees commonly run from £1100 to £1400, while Shropshire council pays about £820 to £1000. NHS Funded Nursing Care contributes roughly £235 a week where a nursing need is agreed, so ask how it is set against the bill.

Dementia Care at Hagley Place

Sixty seven per cent of homes across Shropshire are rated Good or Outstanding, a standard Hagley Place cannot be measured against until it is inspected. Judging dementia care therefore means visiting and watching, looking for routines that hold, a layout that feels calm and secure, and staff who do not rush. The home is registered for dementia alongside nursing, so it may suit someone whose memory loss comes with a health condition needing clinical attention. Its own text promises that good nursing is the foundation and not the purpose, the purpose being that someone carries on being themselves. Ask what dementia training staff receive, how distress and attempts to leave are handled, and how care changes as dementia advances.

Older Person Care at Hagley Place

With 60 places against a Shropshire average of 39, Hagley Place is larger than 75 of the 94 homes nearby. Older residents need help with washing, dressing, medication and meals, and somebody with time to sit down with them. The home says it asks before it acts, keeps personal care private, welcomes visitors at awkward hours and takes trouble to learn what a person would actually like to do with an afternoon. Those are promises rather than findings, since no inspection has taken place. Ask how many staff are awake overnight in this Ludlow home, how quickly a call bell is answered, and who reviews a care plan after the first month.

Younger Adults at Hagley Place

Only one home in Shropshire has registered more recently than Hagley Place did in April 2026. Ludlow Station is 1.1 miles away, which may matter more to an adult under 65 than to anyone else living there. In a home of 60 places most residents will be considerably older, so ask who else of a similar age is there and what the week offers them.

Physical Disability at Hagley Place

Staff who know an individual's preferred way of transferring are what Hagley Place puts at the centre of physical disability care, together with the right equipment. A dentist 0.2 miles away and a pharmacy at 0.9 miles keep routine appointments close.
