comfortable.

We as a family are extremely happy with the care given to our dad. We are so grateful to the carers and staff, dad is so happy and settled.
They made a fuss of him when he was 100 and did him a party. All the carers do their best also all staff and they work so hard.

Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Does not seem like a care home, more like a well-run hotel. The staff are caring, and patient and always make me a cup of tea when visiting. My dad is always clean and happy when I visit.

My sister-in-law has been well cared for in her seven years (maybe more) at this care home.
The staff have been very caring and jolly with her, treating her with dignity and respect.

Reply from Rachel Johnson, Head of Communications at Shawcross Care Home

Our mum has been in Shawcross Care Home for only two weeks, I cannot believe the difference in the home compared to her last home. The care she is receiving has been exceptional, even as far as how clean she looks and dressed in matching clothing, making her feel good. The activities have been really
good, and Mum has enjoyed them - she is still a little unsure, but with moving her from her previous home and being in the hospital for over four weeks, she's just unsettled. I'm sure she will settle and we as a family can relax she is getting the best of care.

Reply from Rachel Johnson, Head of Communications at Shawcross Care Home

Thank you to you and your family for your kind words - it's wonderful to hear about the quality care we're providing for your mum and we'll pass this valuable feedback to our team members. Please continue to reach out to the manager, the activities coordinator and the rest of the team to support your mum's transition - we're here for each other.

My husband was a resident at Showcross for seven months and died there on the 9th of December 2023. We were just too late to be with him, but he was surrounded by loving care, as he had been throughout. We, too, experience the compassionate care of the wonderful staff. They dealt with all the necessary
details and, as always, went that extra mile for us.
I cannot thank Shawcross enough for making those last months as good as they could possibly be.

EMI unit - first impression of the care home was very good, felt homely as soon as we arrived, clean and had no offensive smell. My dad's room is pleasant, warm and well-equipped. The staff are pleasant, helpful and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Overall, very happy with my dad's week of
respite care.

After a rocky start, Aunty has settled down nicely. She seems to get on with everyone. The staff are all very nice and do their best to resolve any problems.
I visited one day, and the ladies were in the activity room, which was lovely, but was an absolute tip and doesn't get used very much, which
is a shame.
It would be lovely if it could be stripped out and used for activities as the residents enjoy a good chat.

Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Executive at Shawcross Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback and for your kind comments about the team. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service, so we are disappointed to hear that you feel this is not the case in some areas. If you would like to discuss your comments further, please contact the home manager directly to arrange a visit. Thank you.

My wife has been in the home for four weeks. During this time, she has been treated very well and has settled in very well. When I leave, she has never once wanted to come with me. I have found the staff very helpful and willing to discuss her welfare at any time, and any incidents are informed to me
at once.
Conclusion - my wife is happy and contented, and so am I.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Shawcross Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.938 for Shawcross Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 Shawcross Care Home 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.
