Wem is one of the two market towns at the heart of our operating area, and one we know exceptionally well. Several members of our care team grew up in Wem, went to school at Thomas Adams, and still live in the town or the villages immediately around it. When we say our carers know the community, in Wem we mean it in the most literal sense.

We have been supporting clients in Wem and the surrounding area since North Shropshire Homecare was founded in 2011. Over fourteen years of daily care visits, we have come to know the streets, the people, the local services, and the specific challenges of rural care in the Wem area — including the lanes that flood in winter and the properties that need a little extra planning to reach.

About Wem

Wem is a market town approximately nine miles north of Shrewsbury and nine miles south of Whitchurch, sitting in the gentle agricultural landscape that defines this part of North Shropshire. Its population of just under 9,000 makes it the second largest town in our operating area.

The Rural Dimension Around Wem

Wem's rural hinterland — the villages of Aston, Barkers Green, Coton, Edstaston, Quina Brook, Horton, Northwood, and Tilley — is part of our operating area. These communities have the particular characteristic of rural North Shropshire: beautiful, quiet, genuinely isolated, and dependent on local services and local providers in ways that urban communities are not.

For older residents in the villages around Wem who can no longer drive, a care visit from NSHC is often the most consistent human contact in the day. We take that seriously.
