Meet The Manager

Ingrid Simkin is General Manager at The Rhallt Care Home.

Our team of highly-qualified and attentive staff really focuses on the individual needs of the people we support with a personalised care plan in place for each person.

Our dedication can be seen across all of our departments - in our cooking, hospitality and organised activities for our residents.

Our purpose built 82-bedroomed home, which is surrounded by beautiful gardens, is located in a semi rural position on outskirts of Welshpool. We are close to local amenities and within easy reach of Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Newtown, and just a few short miles up the road and you are in the beautiful Welsh countryside.

We think you'll find that we're ideally suited to meet your needs now and in the future to ensure you get the most from your retirement years.

Renowned for our quality of care and friendly, welcoming atmosphere The Rhallt invites you to call in for a coffee and chat at any time.

Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
