Why Visiting Angels is Moving to Shrewsbury

At Visiting Angels North Shropshire, the team has always believed that great care starts with being part of the local community. That’s why the decision to relocate their office from Oswestry to Shrewsbury was one of the most difficult business decisions they have had to make.

Like many businesses, they have experienced the challenges of rising commercial rents, increasing business rates and a shortage of suitable office premises. Despite exploring every opportunity to remain in Oswestry, they were simply unable to secure office accommodation that would support their growing team and allow them to continue providing the high standard of care their clients deserve. Relocating their office to Shrewsbury provides them with the stability they need for the future while allowing them to continue investing in their people, expanding their services and supporting more families across North Shropshire.

Continued Home Care and Support Across the Oswestry Community

What hasn’t changed is where and how the care service is provided. Every day, Visiting Angels caregivers continue to support clients across Oswestry, Ellesmere, Whitchurch and the surrounding villages. Many of their team members live within these communities, and their relationships with clients, families, GP practices and healthcare professionals remain just as important today as they were before the move. The team wants to reassure everyone that their office location does not affect the care they deliver. If you live in Oswestry and the surrounding areas and are looking for home care, they are still very much here for you.

How to Choose the Right Home Care Provider

One of the questions the team is asked most often is, “How do I know which home care provider to choose?” Their advice is always to start with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC is the independent regulator of health and social care services in England and provides valuable information about registered care providers, including inspection reports, quality ratings and what you should expect from a safe, well-led service. Visiting Angels encourages every family to research providers carefully, ask questions and choose a care provider that puts people at the centre of everything they do.

Celebrating a Latest CQC Inspection Success

Visiting Angels North Shropshire is proud that their latest and first ever CQC Inspection Report has been published with a ‘Good’ rating, something that is not easily achieved. Visiting Angels are deeply committed to delivering safe, compassionate and person-centred care to every client they support, irrespective of how they live, whether in the town or rurally.

Planning Ahead for Your Home Care Needs

If you’re considering home care for yourself or someone you love, the advice from the experts is not to wait until a crisis arises. Starting the conversation early gives you time to understand the options available, meet potential care providers and put the right support in place when it’s needed. It also allows the potential client the chance to ask questions, talk about how they are feeling and find out what is right for them. Home care can often begin quickly, whether you’re arranging care privately or exploring funding through your local authority, and any service you choose should be responsive and act at a pace that suits you.

Creating Tailored, Personalised Care Plans

Visiting Angels North Shropshire offers free, no-obligation consultations to help families understand their choices. Whether someone needs a few hours of companionship each week, support following a hospital stay, dementia care or more comprehensive daily assistance, they will work with you to create a personalised care plan that promotes independence, dignity and quality of life.

Looking Forward to a Bright Future Supporting Local Families

Although their office is now based in Shrewsbury, the Visiting Angels commitment to Oswestry remains exactly where it has always been. The team looks forward to continuing to support local families for many years to come and to helping more people receive outstanding care in the place they call home. If you’d like to find out more about their home care services or arrange a free consultation, they would love to hear from you. The team is always happy to offer friendly advice, answer your questions and help you make an informed decision about care.
