The manager and wonderful carers at Beech House have diligently supported my Mum through 2 cancer diagnoses and reduced mobility. For over 10 years the home manager has ensured that my Mum has been attentively cared for in an atmosphere of respect and fun. The team are a credit to her and I want to
thank them all for supporting Mum and the family on this journey.
Through laughter and tears, they have been amazing.

Reply from Kelly Dean, Home Manager at ShawSide Care Village

Since going into this Care Home my dad settled instantly and I felt he was cared for in a caring, compassionate way.
The Manager went above and beyond to make sure my dad had everything in place for when he arrived to make him as comfortable and as cared for as possible. She always had time to talk
and update us all the time and even rang me if I couldn't get in. The staff are caring and nothing is too much trouble and always got time to chat if I had any questions too and is exactly how you expect a care home to run.
My Dad only spent 4 weeks there before passing away on Friday but I couldn't fault it as he was really looked after having come from a home in Middleton who neglected him so a big thank you to the manager and your team for the love and care you gave my dad.
Anyone needing a Care Home then I highly recommend Shawside Care Village can't praise it enough.

My mother spent 12 months at Shaw/Miller Houses. During that time, the staff was always helpful, kind, and courteous. They provided dignity and professional care to my Mum who suffered from dementia.
She passed away in the care home with me and my family present. The team was amazing. The entire time
of her passing and beyond.

To start on a positive: My mum's room is clean, although when I visit I attend with wipes and wipe over surfaces. Miller House has a few lovely staff. I witnessed recently only one member of staff being on duty/shift at 6pm. This was a horrific visit with my mum as I was very aware of the other 16/17
residents in the lounge left to their own devices. Having walked the corridors to find a carer/senior carer, I then found the staff member that was on duty. Yes I did express my views on the current situation. I was greeted with Yes I'm the only person on duty... scheduled staff have rang in sick and Bloomcare have cut staff hours!
Bloomcare at this point made it my issue! I am addressing this issue directly with Care Quality Commission/Adult Social Care. Yes ShawSide have attempted to contact me, I wasn't able to take the call. The manager works 9/5 like me. Bloomcare have a lot of work to do with staff that display openly they don't want to be there!

Reply from Yvonne Burutsa, General Manager Shawside at ShawSide Care Village

We are sorry that your experience of our service was not positive on this occasion. Please note that the majority of the care we provide is behind closed doors and this can give an impression of staff shortages. We are a regulated service and fully understand our legal responsibility to keep the vulnerable people in our care safe by ensuring safe staffing levels. Thank you for your feedback and your compliment about our care team.

Since arriving at ShawSide my wife settled in quite quickly. She is content and calm. Her quality of life has improved and the care and attention from all members of staff have been one of the main reasons, she seems happy with her surroundings. I was told by two sets of neighbours who in the past had
been residents of ShawSide that my wife would be content and feel safe and this has been the case. The staff give their all in looking after the residents. Thank you.

I am constantly pleasantly surprised by the standard and attention to the needs of every resident in the home, cared for and entertained every single day, backed up by the residents themselves choosing to stay there voluntarily in a happy atmosphere. My own mother's condition with Dementia has greatly
improved and her quality of life has improved significantly because of the constant care received since being given a place in the home, she is happy, content, safe and well nourished and totally comfortable in her surroundings, a statement which I never thought I would be able to make, giving me the peace of mind that there is no better place for her to be at this time in her life. For all the reasons stated above I would 100% totally recommend Shawside Care Home to anybody worried about making the decision on behalf of somebody unable to care for themselves. I would like to publicly thank the staff for all their past contributions and am secure of their attention in the future.

Generally very pleased with Mum's care as most of the staff are kind, caring and thoughtful.
My mum's room is cleaned daily and is tidy.
Love the on-site coffee shop.
Gardens are untidy with cigarette ends all over the floor. The flagging is uneven and quite dangerous. There has been a new fence
erected, so maybe work on the gardens is ongoing. My mum (and other residents) loves the bird feeders.
The entertainment staff work hard to try and ensure that residents are amused.
The food smells and looks amazing. If residents do not want to/can't eat in the lounge, then staff take it to their rooms.
I have two concerns;
One is that it can take ages to get in and out of the unit. Staff have to walk down a long corridor each time to let you in and out. This must be frustrating for them when they are busy with residents.
The other concern is that residents are allowed to enter other residents' room. This sometimes results in items being removed. My mum has had items missing from her room but I have found items in her handbag that do not belong to her her but to someone else.

Dad has been at ShawSide over a year now and if I'm honest, it felt the right choice the moment we walked through the door. The standout quality of ShawSide is the staff and the kind, professional, compassionate and sympathetic care that they provide (sometimes incredibly caring!). The premises are
always spotless and feel safe and warm. We've also been really impressed by the ancillary care provided, both personal (hairdressing, pedicurists etc.) and the prompt provision of outside medical assistance when needed. Thank you so much ShawSide.

For the past three years, Mum has been cared for by the staff at Shawside. They have always made her feel she belongs, comfortable, safe and never a burden. The unit manager has made a huge difference and has given the unit the uplift it needed. In the last days of Mum's life, the staff were amazing,
treating her with care, dignity and respect. Their kindness, care and support to us as a family went a long way to help us face the inevitable. Well done and thank you.

Due to a fall earlier this year, my mother was unable to return home and entered ShawSide Care Village at the beginning of March. It was a difficult transition for her and for our family, as she was so independent even at 96 years of age! However, we could not be happier with the care provided. All
the staff at the home work very hard and have endless patience with the residents. They are very experienced in dealing with the different needs of all the residents, in a caring and understanding way. They also take time to chat to us and update us on my mum's progress whenever we visit. Although we haven't known the staff long, we know my mum is safe and is being looked after very well which is a great relief to us. We would have no hesitation in recommending ShawSide to anyone needing care.

Mum was admitted to Beech House in December 2020. A very difficult time due to the Covid lockdown, but Mum and I were treated with compassion, and Mum's anxiety soon went, and she was happy and content. I can't fault the staff. The manager was always on top of any issues and contacted me, giving me
reassurance. They were caring beyond my expectations, and the person who did the crafts etc, was amazing. I still visit since Mum passed away because they feel like family.

Reply from Beech House, Management at ShawSide Care Village

We're deeply grateful for your kind words and for entrusting us with your mother's care during such a challenging time. It means the world to us to hear that Mum found comfort and happiness at Beech House and that our team could provide the compassionate support she needed. Your ongoing visits are a testament to the special bond formed between your family and ours. Please know that we're always here for you, and we cherish the opportunity to continue supporting you, even beyond your Mum's time with us.

My husband spent two weeks of respite in ShawSide - Beech House in October 2023. When his Alzheimer's became too much for me to handle, I had no worries about making ShawSide his home. When we arrived on the day he moved, he said, "Great, I'm back with my friends". The staff have been unbelievable with
him, helping him settle and with me, helping me cope with the decision I have made.

Reply from Management Team, Beech House Management at ShawSide Care Village

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience with us! We're truly touched to hear that your husband felt at home and surrounded by friends during his stay at ShawSide - Beech House. Our team strives to create a warm and supportive environment for all residents and their families, and it means the world to us to know that we can make a positive difference during such a significant transition.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.015)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.015) out of 10 for ShawSide Care Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.415 for ShawSide Care Village is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.415

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for ShawSide Care Village is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 150 registered maximum number of service users is 30. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.6

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
