To the manager and staff at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan), my family and I would like to thank all of you in the final weeks of my husband's life, sadly he has now passed. I cannot thank the staff for the care shown to my husband and myself during his time spent there. God Bless them all.

To care home manager and staff at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan), just like to thank you all for the brilliant way myself and my wife were looked after on the 3-2-2022, our Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Also, my wife's 81st birthday on the 5-2-2022. The food and decorations were a lovely surprise;
it will be a day we will never forget. Best wishes to all at St George's.

I cannot speak highly enough about the care and support given to Mum (and to us as a family) in the final few weeks of Mum's life. The entire team at St George's are outstanding. They keep you updated at every stage of your relative's care. Before Mum moved to St George's, the family looked at and spoke
to many homes in the area. Only when we met and spoke with the manager, did we feel reassured and happy that St George's was the right home! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Reply from Sheena Gudkha, Director at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan)

Thank you for the kind words. Will definitely pass them on to all the staff. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything more we can do or any suggestions you may have.
We hope to get more decorative overdue refurbishment on its way this year as the restrictions around the pandemic have eased.

Always friendly staff and supportive - reasonable waiting times and clear adherence to the required rules etc. The care home is clean and comfortable - it seems to provide a good standard of care for residents. Room is tired and needs redecorating.
My only concern when we visit, fresh cigarette smoke
can be smelled (this is when visiting relative and wearing a mask). I think staff go out a side door nearby but don't close it. To me, it's not very pleasant. However, perhaps this is permitted, in which case, so be it.

Reply from Sheena Gudkha, Director at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan)

Thank you for your review. A lot of refurbishment work, especially to the rooms had been put to hold over the pandemic and several outbreaks we have had, but will slowly get addressed this year.
Will look into the smoking issue, as that is not acceptable.
If there is anything more we could do, please do not hesitate to contact me or the manager.

All the staff we met with when viewing were most helpful and explained the facilities and activities. The time my wife was with St George's, she was treated with dignity and respect. Her needs were assessed early on and put in place to ensure her security, comfort and care provided was fully implemented.
All the management and staff were wonderful to her and the family. Their experience showed through every time I've visited.

The manager showed me where my mum's room would be. She was very understanding of Mums needs. She made us feel at ease and understood how hard it was for us to put Mum into someone else's care. Several visits later, I would definitely recommend St Geroge's without and doubt. All the staff have been
so caring and attentive to Mum. She has been washed and clean every time we visited. They are amazing people.

I am very impressed with the care and compassion shown by all members of staff to my very frail relative, whom we have not seen for over 20-months due to Covid-19. She is clean and well cared for. We have popped in unexpectedly in the last few days, and all the staff are welcoming and genuinely care.
Congratulations to the management and all the staff.

Cannot fault the staff at St George's. Any questions or queries we have had were always answered. Staff very attentive and caring. The building itself is a bit dated, but the feel of the place and the staff certainly makes up for it.

Reply from Sheena Gudkha, Director at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan)

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, over the last year with the pandemic taking its toll and a few outbreaks at the home, a lot of refurbishment has been put on hold to minimise outsiders into the home.
This will slowly get addressed over the next few months.
Staff work extremely hard to ensure residents are comfortable and well cared for. I will pass your positive review to them.

Mum has been in St George's since November last year, she has dementia. Due to Covid restrictions, I've only visited in reception and mum's room, but it was heartwarming to see her on my recent visit; she was relaxed, happy and content and was smiling all the time. It's such a relief to know she is
being cared for so well. The hairdresser had been, and she had been given a whole new hairstyle, superb. You never know what's going on with dementia patients, but it's quite clear Mum is happy at St George's. All the staff I've met are friendly and helpful. Thank you so very much.

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.
