St Nicholas House was a former vicarage, it was built in the mid-19th century of stone quarried from nearby Corndon Hill and was established as a residential care home for the elderly in 1986. In 2010 the Home was extended to provide a nursing service. The Nursing side of the home has been named the Myra Wing. Myra, an ancient town in Lycia (Turkey), was where St Nicholas became a Bishop. St Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need, a trait that we hope to foster with all our staff. The Myra wing has been built to a high standard which meets with Care Standards 2002 legal requirements for room specification.
The management of St Nicholas House strives to deliver a high quality service that meets the needs and aspirations of all nursing and residential person’s. These needs and aspirations vary between individuals and as a consequence the level of service delivery will differ according to individual requirements, identified need and package of care. We pride ourselves on offering highly professional care for the elderly, with a personal touch. We are pleased to admit service users for long term, short term: convalescence/respite and holiday stays when facilities are available and day care so that next of kin can have some ‘personal; time to themselves.
St Nicholas House stands solidly in the heart of the growing village community of Churchstoke on the beautiful Powys/Shropshire border. Its southerly aspect proudly overlooks the tranquil Camlad Valley and the distant gentle hills.
The home is situated within easy driving distance of several towns.

With Newtown and Welshpool also being close by, there is plenty of greenery, warmth and friendliness.
