I am very pleased with the care my mother receives at St George's. The staff are friendly and respectful. She is always clean and dressed how she would wish to be if she could make her own decisions. She is well-fed and seems to enjoy her meals. I am consulted on everything concerning my mother and
always informed of anything that happens out of the ordinary. As a family, we are satisfied a she is being well cared for.

My husband has been a resident at St George's Nursing Home since March 2023. He has many health complications and is very frail. During all this time, he has received excellent care from the staff. He is always treated with care and compassion by the truly professional staff as are all his family.

My dad has been in St George's since March and is well cared for. He has had a decline in health, and we feel the staff genuinely care for him. Nothing is too much trouble, and the relationships that have been built between my dad and the carers and nurses are heartwarming.
As a family, we feel cared
for too, and we know we can speak to the manager and deputy manager should we have any worries.

The care and love residents receive are second to none, and the relationships are plain to see between carers and residents. All staff are friendly and welcoming and work extremely hard in a difficult environment due to the high level of needs of the residents. My experience is that they go above and
beyond to ensure residents are treated with dignity and respect and are well cared for. I have complete trust in both the staff and the management team.
A word of caution: Do not let the exterior of the building/location put you off! From experience a 'pretty exterior and newer building' does not equate to a good level of care, and it is the level of care inside the building that is the most important.

Dad has been in this care home for four and a half years - he loves it. It is the only home where he has truly been happy and comfortable. The home is constantly improving and working with different partnerships. There are lots of activities for the residents, and as a family member, you have the opportunity
to get involved in the regular Whatsapp group/meetings on Zoom. We are very happy with the care and attention our dad is receiving. Thank you.

As a family member of a resident at St George's Care Home, I am compelled to share our experience. The level of care, attention, and compassion provided by the staff at St George's is outstanding.
From the moment my dad became a resident, we have been continuously impressed by the quality of care he
receives. The staff are not just professionals; they are genuinely caring individuals who go above and beyond. Their approach is not only professional but also deeply empathetic.
The home is well-maintained, clean, and well-equipped. What makes St George's truly stand out, however, is the sense of community and belonging they foster. It’s a place where residents are not just cared for but enjoy the quality of life that they deserve.
The communication with family members is exemplary.
St George's Home is a facility where excellence in care, compassion, and community come together to create a nurturing and supportive environment for its residents. I wholeheartedly recommend St George's.

My mother has been cared for by St George's for four and a half years, and in that time, I have never doubted that this is by far the best place I could have chosen. He has advanced dementia (Alzheimer's), and his care has been exceptional. He is always clean, well fed and is encouraged to take part
in activities. He was admitted to hospital with Covid in 2020, where he was treated, and on returning to the home, he looked thin and pale. After two or three months, he looked well, had put on weight and was generally happy. I would certainly recommend this home for your loved one.

Absolutely made up with this care home. Mum has only just gone into St George from another care home and the difference in the way she is and her mood is amazing. The staff seem to take more care with the way they do things and how the residents are looked after. I'm happy we made the right choice as
her social worker picked a different home which we deemed not suitable. As soon as we stepped into St Georges we knew and felt it was the right place for Mum to be now her needs have progressed to nursing over just residential. Staff have been welcoming and very helpful when we've asked questions. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for their loved ones a place.

Mum has been tremendously happy here after her settling-in experience. The team are wonderful with her, coping with such compassion and professionalism at some of her extreme behaviours.
They always communicate well when Mum needs anything, be it care, supplies, assistance, etc.
Mum feels safe and
loved, which for the family is the biggest win of all. Pleased with all aspects of Mum's care and stay, and any concerns are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

My elderly mother has been a resident for over a year, and during that time, she has been looked after as though she was the Mother of each individual staff member. Every time I visited (without notice), I was most welcomed, and my bedridden Mother looked great. Her hair was always neatly cut and brushed,
she was clean and enjoyed the support from all the staff. I have no complaints, only praise for the wonderful help my family and I received from St Georges. My wife has a PhD in hospice care, and she was thoroughly impressed by the care and dedication of all the staff there.

The staff are amazing, the care given to my mum and the support to us, her family cannot be faulted. My mum came to the home from the hospital and spent the last nine weeks of her life there. The medical staff were brilliant, and the manager met with us in the last two weeks, talked through everything
relating to "end-of-life", asked our wishes and gave us comfort and support at this very sad time.

My grandma was transferred to the care home for rehabilitation with the plan to get her home. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated, and she was placed on end-of-life care. The time taken to explain the process to me and my parents was valuable in us coming to terms with losing my grandma. She was
so well looked after both physically and psychologically - the staff were fantastic with her, and she felt safe. I cannot fault any aspect of her care, and the staff were attentive and responsive to her needs up until the very end.

My aunt turned 95 this month, and the home put on a buffet party for her and the family. It was excellent, and luckily, my aunt was in good form. The staff geared our visits in her room. The food and cake provided were brilliant and even included some wine. On her actual birthday, they decorated her
room with balloons and banners. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for St George's Nursing Home (Wigan) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.744 for St George's Nursing Home (Wigan) is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.744

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St George's Nursing Home (Wigan) is based on 11 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
