About Oxbow Manor

Oxbow Manor is a nursing home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing support, with registered nurses on duty. Our clinical work covers long term conditions, wound and pressure area care, nutrition and hydration, continence support and medication, working closely with GPs, district nurses and hospital teams. We also care for residents living with dementia, where a calm and familiar day does more good than a busy one, and residents with physical disabilities, where the right equipment, enough time and careful attention to what somebody can still do independently matter most. What we try never to lose sight of is the person underneath the clinical need. Someone living here still chooses when to get up, what to eat, where to sit and who to see, and their care is discussed with them rather than about them. Families are welcome at whatever time suits, and we ask relatives to stay closely involved, because they hold a picture of somebody that we could not assemble on our own. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period, and for families who provide care at home and need a planned break. If you are considering Oxbow Manor for yourself or a relative, please come and visit. Meet our nurses and carers, look round properly, and ask us anything you want to know.
