About Orchard House
Orchard House supports older people and adults with dementia, mental health needs, learning disabilities or other support requirements through individual care plans. These plans capture personal preferences and help staff maintain independence, dignity and choice in daily life.
Food is prepared by chefs, with monthly rotating menus, family favourites and alternative options for different tastes. Meals can be taken in communal dining areas or in residents’ rooms. Orchard House forms part of an employee-owned care provider offering a broad spectrum of residential and specialist care. Its approach adapts support to each person’s likes, dislikes and life experiences, while keeping families involved in their loved one’s care.

Questions families ask
Do they support people with complex mental health or learning disability needs?
Yes. Shaw provides specialist care for mental health needs, acquired brain injuries and learning disabilities, alongside elderly residential and dementia care.
Can they cater for medical, cultural or religious dietary requirements?
Yes. They include medical, cultural and religious dietary requirements in each person’s care plan, with alternative meal options available.
Can residents choose where they eat their meals?
Yes. Residents can eat in communal dining areas with laid tables or choose to eat in their own rooms.
Are activities compulsory in the care home?
No. Residents are invited to join activity programmes designed around healthy minds and wellbeing, but participation is not compulsory.
How much does Orchard House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Orchard House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Herefordshire council paid on average £1,295 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
