Make a difference in your local community Radfield Home Care Shrewsbury has been a valued organisation in the local community since 2008 when it was started by Dr Hannah MacKechnie & Alex Green, after realising there was a real need for high quality care services in the area. Hannah and Alex both grew up in Radfield Residential Home, established by their parents in 1982 as a boutique care home in Shrewsbury. Hannah was working as a GP in Shropshire and kept hearing stories of how home care agencies were not delivering and caring for their clients well enough - so with her experience and understanding of good quality care, she, along with her brother, set up Radfield Home Care. It was and continues to be a success, having a fantastic reputation locally for our approach to patient care, along with flexibility and responsiveness we are able to our every client and their relatives.
