The carers we have are very helpful, friendly and caring. They also do a large variety of things to keep my partner occupied and when dealing with his bath routines, they are most caring and do things with dignity for him. Lots of laughter which is good for us all.

My siblings and myself are delighted with the care that is provided for our mother by Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry. Our mother’s wishes are always taken into account by the carers and her house is left neat, clean and tidy at the end of a care session. We feel very reassured that mum is
well looked after. Any new medication that needs to be provided or administered is always promptly put on mum’s care plan. If ever I need to phone the office, the staff are always welcoming and helpful and have done their utmost to provide the level of care that mum needs. This was sometimes at very short notice when we started to use Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry. The carers that I have met when I have been at my mother’s house are always friendly, polite and helpful and I always leave feeling reassured. We took a leap in the dark when choosing Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry in September 2020. I’m so pleased we did.

My weekly visit from one of your home care team is always very welcome. They are unfailingly very adaptable and carry out the tasks which need doing to a very good standard. There are quite a few household tasks which, due to my deteriorating health, I have struggled to complete. I know that a visit
from Radfield will leave my house feeling clean again.

We found this company to be efficient and very caring during the relatively short period of time that they looked after mum. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and I felt that she was in safe hands when I wasn't there.

Radfield Home Care looked after my uncle from when he was diagnosed with lung cancer until he passed away last week. Their care has always been finely tuned to his needs and wishes. I could not rate the whole team more highly for professionalism and compassion. They were extremely reliable and reassuring
- right the way through the Coronavirus pandemic - they kept him safe and well looked after. When the time came to increase his care, they responded immediately. The manager of the team was very kind and compassionate to me... full of reassurance that he would be well looked after. Everyone that came to visit was treated kindly and thoughtfully - it was evident that my uncle was being beautifully looked after. He grew very fond of many of the carers and each night when I spoke to him he was always so grateful for their help and kindness. As I am sure you can tell from this review - I highly recommend Radfield Home Care.
Reply from Sonya Cole, Registered manager at Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it was an honour to be able to care for your uncle and provide the care for him to be able to stay at home, which was his wish. Your uncle touched the hearts of all the team and I will pass your kind words to them all.

Having stayed with my mum for nearly two weeks following a fall which she had. She soon began to feel better during the day times, but I was still unhappy at leaving her at night time, due to her still having difficulty at getting out of bed safely during the night to use the toilet. I was recommended
Radfield Home Care by my cousin who had previously used them for her mother. I found the manager to be very helpful in setting up the night supervisions, and the first-night carer who I met, was very professional and caring. The literature provided is very informative, and the care Planning app is an excellent way to read the reports produced by each carer who looked after my mum. Especially as I do not live local to my mum. I contacted the manager on many occasions and each time I found her to be helpful patient and understanding.

Thank you for all the care and support you have given my mother during this very difficult time. My mum is easily unsettled, prone to wandering and requires dedicated one to one care. Your staff have been diligent and responsive to her needs and kept her happy. It has been a great comfort to know that
she has someone with her while we are unable to see her.

Review from James T (Son of Client) published on 18 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at a care home for about two years now. Having been living in Ludlow, some miles away, I was aware of my mother's loneliness, and the onset of dementia was a devastating blow to her. I have tried to visit whenever possible, usually with my 8yr old son, but we all realised she needed
more social stimulation. This need increased when her incessant wanderings began to frustrate the care home staff, so we arranged for extra care. We had been using another company but had issues, so chose to jump ship and change to Radfield.
Radfield are completely reliable, and the staff are some of the most wonderful people I've ever met. They are all very warm people, who engage mum in all the activities she loves to do. They do their job with love, which I see every day when I video call her (family no visits now due to Covid epidemic) and when I see pics from Radfield. Mum now looks so happy and it fills me with joy.
Reply from Sonya Cole, Registered manager at Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury & Oswestry

Thank you James for your wonderful review. All our staff are trained in Dementia care and always work very closely to stimulate and motivate our clients to be as creative as they would like to be. Our care staff love singing, playing games and doing art and crafts with your mother, all of this brightens up her day. I will pass your lovely message on to our care team.

I have been extremely pleased with the services Radfield have provided for both my mother and father. The carers are very reliable and show great compassion and care. On several occasions due to medical emergencies, they have stayed beyond their allocated times until a satisfactory outcome has been
arranged. All the carers are friendly and professional. When we have needed help the office have accommodated our requests promptly and without fuss. Highly recommend.

Carers from Radfield assisted me as primary carer and wife of the patient who was in the last stages of his fatal illness. They were courteous, professionally friendly with me and the elder (92) patient. Their professional care and handling of him was meticulous at all times. They followed the instructions
of the hospice at home nurse and the district nurses in order to comfort, calm and cleanse him, working quietly and efficiently.

My mother started using the care services at Radfield Home Care in mid-October. Since then, we have been impressed by the professional, caring service she has received. We particularly liked the initial 'setting up' of the contract. All aspects were carefully explained with no hidden costs. I also like
that there is an office to visit rather than dealing with a 'faceless' business. Overall, so far, very happy.

Job Title: Operations Manager Joined: 2021

We would like to introduce you to Karen, Operations Manager for Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Karen supports, manages, guides and directs the care management team and undertakes business development work in the local communities that the office services.


Karen joined Radfield as an Operations Manager in February 2021 having spent over 35 years within the retail and customer service sector, most recently as a department store manager for a well-known high street store. Alongside this, Karen worked with various different charities, befriending societies, community groups and local care homes, making her best placed to take up the role of Operations Manager.

Gemma

Gemma Baugh

Job Title: Registered Care Manager Joined: 2022

We would like to introduce you to Gemma Baugh, Registered Care Manager for Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Gemma is responsible for liaising with clients, families and professionals to manage care needs and staff deployment, the creation and management of the rotas for clients and carers, and fundamentally, the safe running of the office.


Gemma explains her path to Registered Care Manager:


“I am a mother of 6 children, all of which are home-educated, and I previously worked as a vending operator filling the machines in hospitals and HMRC offices. I left to take care of my Nan who moved in with me when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When my Nan passed away, I went into domiciliary care as I wanted to provide care for people’s loved ones as I did with my Nan. I then moved from Telford to Shrewsbury, where I applied to Radfield to be a Care Professional. I have made some great relationships with both the clients and the other Radfield colleagues. Things really took off from there, and I have had the opportunity to work in our branch office, as the Care Coordinator. And recently I have been fortunate to be appointed as the Care Manager, and all the while, undertaking my Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care alongside this – so there are plenty of opportunities to progress in the Social Care sector.”


Since joining Radfield as a Care Professional back in April 2022, Gemma’s experience and passion have proved so important:


“I feel I have lots of experience within the sector after working in the care sector for some time both personally with my Nan and with a company like Radfield. I’ve been fortunate to be able to work with a wide range of clients and care professionals, understanding their needs, and trying to build fulfilling relationships to ensure the best care for our people.


I have a passion for giving people the best quality of life they can have to be able to live an in-depth, independent life how they want to, especially after having family members go through difficult times and having some unprofessional experiences with other agencies. I always aim for continuity when coordinating our care, maximising our time with our clients and minimising our travel and waiting times.”

Rachel

Rachel James

Job Title: Recruitment & Training Manager Joined: 2025

We would like to introduce you to Rachel, Recruitment & Training Manager for Shrewsbury & Oswestry.


What is your background prior to joining Radfield?
I have over five years of experience in the health and social care sector. I began my career at Prestige Nursing & Care as a Branch Recruiter in Shrewsbury and Staffordshire, responsible for sourcing and onboarding care professionals. I was later promoted to Talent & Resource Lead at Head Office, managing recruitment for all permanent and fixed-term roles nationwide, including clinical positions, and working closely with branch managers and senior leadership.


Before this, I worked for a specialist education recruitment agency, placing teachers and support staff in schools across Shropshire. This gave me valuable experience with high-volume recruitment, compliance, and building strong relationships in both the education and care sectors.


How has your background prepared you for your new role at RHC?
My experience has given me both sector knowledge and recruitment expertise, which are essential for supporting Radfield Home Care as a high-quality care provider.


What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?
Personal experiences with my own family inspired my career in healthcare. Seeing the skill and compassion of care professionals made me appreciate their profound impact. The positive difference they made motivated me to work in a sector where empathy and expertise can transform lives.


How do you feel your role and your experience will benefit Radfield’s clients?
My professional background and commitment to high standards will help me make a difference for Radfield’s clients. I understand that exceptional care relies on trust, listening, and meeting each person’s unique needs. I am excited to combine my skills with Radfield’s values to ensure clients receive respectful, personalised support and to help make a meaningful impact on their lives.
