During the weeks and days before my fathers passing, the care home was fantastic. Not only the care given to pops but also the help and assistance given to myself and my sister. These were difficult times for us, but they also had to deal with Covid regulations. They were really professional as well
as empathic, to which we are truly grateful.

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

Thank you for a love positive review. Always feel grateful knowing St George’s could help a resident as well as the family, as end of life/palliative care is always a tricky and overwhelming time.
If we could be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If another resident was similar to myself, I am quite sure they would accept things as I did when being at St George's Nursing Home (Wigan).

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

Thank you for your honest review. We have taken on board what you have said. Appreciate some refurbishment may be required in some of the rooms for cosmetic reasons, but unfortunately, due to the pandemic and risk of having outside workers in the home, they have been on hold. We hope to address this soon in the near future. Please feel free to get in touch with us if there was anything else we could assist with.

I feel that the care that my mother is being given is very good. She always looks clean and well turned out. The staff that I have dealt with have been exceptional. They always have time to talk and give updates without rushing, which for me, has been very important in the current situation.
I am very
content with my mums care.

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

Thank you for your lovely review, and I will be sure to pass it on to the staff. We are very fortunate to have dedicated, caring staff working at St George's, especially through this pandemic that has in a way become the residents extended family. If there are any further suggestions or anything else we can do, please do not hesitate to contact the manager or myself. Look forward to opening the doors soon for nominated person's visits.

Each time I have been to St George's over the last 12-months, during Covid-19, I have experienced a very friendly attitude by the staff, who are working under stressful times. I think I can speak for my three other brothers. Unfortunately, because of the virus, we have not been able to go into the some
to see Mum's accommodation.

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

Thank you for putting a review. As you are aware, we have started reception visits and keeping a close eye on testing and very much looking forward to starting the nominated person visits next week. I am aware we are slightly behind the national guidelines for visitation due to the outbreak we had a few weeks ago. We hope, if everything goes well, we will soon be able to welcome the two nominated individuals.
If there is anything else we can do, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Mum was transferred to St George's from the infirmary for end of life care. She was only in care for five days before passing, but she was extremely settled and comfortable throughout her stay. The staff were very professional, loving and caring to both Mum and the family members that visited. I couldn't
have asked for a more loving environment for Mum to end her days. Thank you to all who looked after Mum.

Thank you for your lovely message, Susan. Will definitely pass your message to all the staff on that unit. I am glad St George's had the opportunity to care for your mum during her last few days.

My father was only in the home for four days, he went there for end of life care. The staff treated my father with the utmost respect and ensured his stay was dignified. When he died, they were with him and again treated his death with the utmost respect and dignity. The help they have given us as a
family is second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending St George’s.

Thank you, David, for your very positive review and will pass it on to all the staff involved. Glad St George's could be part of looking after your dad and be able to support you and the family. If there is anything more we can do, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

When we arrived at St George's, we were made to feel welcome. Mum was quite poorly and was treated with the utmost respect and tender care. I cannot thank them enough. Not only did they look after my mum's needs, they looked after the family as well. I would like to give a special mention to the manager
and four other members of staff, you are all very special people.

My father has been accommodated at St George's carr home since mid-November. Sadly, due to his health condition, he is now in palliative care. This is a most anxious time for the family, as we see our loved one slipping away. The care, consideration and kindness shown by the care home manager and her
nursing and care worker staff, has been outstanding and very much appreciated. My father is treated with bolt dignity and respected, which has assisted him greatly to settle into his surroundings. The home also pays active attention to infection and cleanliness.

My husband was a resident at St Georges from November 2017 until January 2019 when he sadly passed away. Throughout his time there he was well looked after by the staff, which is greatly appreciated by all the family. We were always made to feel very welcome and comfortable. There were lots of parties
and entertainment organised, which was lovely to be able to share these precious times together whilst we were able. The food was always very good. Thanks to all at St George's.

Mum has been cared for at St Georges since November 2017, she had been very ill and needed 24-hour care. She was warmly welcomed and is very well looked after by a dedicated team of carers/nursing staff.
Mum is always in clean clothes that match, the home is very clean and her room is always spotless,
the laundry is also very well done, the food is excellent.
The home has a dedicated lady whose role is to organise entertainment/activities for residents, she also arranges many events that relatives can attend, she does it very well and helped very much with Mum's 100th Birthday celebrations.
St Georges gave a wonderful buffet lunch party for Mum's 100th Birthday and 50 relatives/friends attended, the staff worked exceptionally hard to make this happen. The kitchen staff prepared a lovely buffet in addition to their normal work of cooking for all the residents. We very much appreciated everything that was done by the manager and his staff to make the party such a great success.

We looked at 6 care homes in the local area and felt that St George's ticked all the boxes. We looked into CQC reports also. From the moment we started to look round, it had a good feeling and the staff looked happy and the home was clean and unlike other homes, didn't smell.
From dad moving in, to
him passing away, he was always treated with dignity and respect. Even dad said to us the staff are fantastic.
Dad was always in clean clothes and he was looked upon as family by staff.

I have visited the home few times with my friend, her mother lives in this home and I have known her for a long time, every time I visited the home my friends mum looks so happy and active (even though she have difficulties due to dementia). Today I saw an advertisement in the care home's Facebook page
relating the review. I thought I have to leave this review from my short experience to encourage the staff to continue the good work.

My elderly relative was treated with care and dedication. Nothing was too much trouble. Although only there for 7 months to her death recently, the staff and management took her to their hearts. It's daunting and scary trying to find a good place for a loved one but we made such a good choice. I can't
praise these lovely people enough and it's time their skill was rewarded by a decent wage. Bless them all.

I was extremely pleased with all the staff at St George's Care Home in Wigan, in the way they all looked after my mother in the last two weeks she was in there before she passed away.
The way they treated her with care and dignity was as much as anyone could ask for and you could see it was genuine.

Recent changes in the management have shown an improvement, especially in communication. The staff are caring and friendly and treat all the residents with respect. The building (a converted school) is calm and maintained well but is showing it's age. Overall, the organisation cares for the residents.

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.
