Although I have been unable to enter the home due to current restrictions I found my mother content and happy. The staff are very attentive, food of the highest quality, rooms clean and no unsanitary smells.

Mum has been at Shawcross for a few years now, and I have seen the changes over these years, all for the better since Christmas. The staff are all fantastic and treat Mum with the respect she deserves. Some of them even know Mum better than me, which is great. I would love to book myself in for breakfast,
dinner and tea as the food looks amazing. They have also helped me with some bad times with Mum's condition. So, well done, and thank you.

Shawcross and its staff are a brilliant care home. I have both grandparents at this home in separate areas both with different needs, and staff in both units are friendly, caring and professional. Henry the dog is a great therapy dog, and it’s lovely to see activities that go on throughout the days.
The staff are approachable, and it is always noticed that they go above and beyond to help the residents. Both my grandparents are looked after and treated with respect. It’s a great home, and the staff are brilliant.

I highly recommend Shawcross for your loved ones. My dad was looked after from day one with his specific needs and kept his dignity. Each member of staff was polite and took the time needed to care for him, even when he was grumpy. The meals were catered for his diet and looked that good I could’ve
eaten it myself. I can’t express enough thanks to the whole team of how they treated him A*.

I have previously submitted reviews of Shawcross and of how happy I have been with mums care there but I feel in the current climate I would like to express just how amazing all of the staff have been during the Coronavirus pandemic.
My mum has been a resident at Shawcross for over 7 years and has
always been looked after so well. She is very frail after a really tough year last year so not being able to visit her is difficult but the staff here have gone above and beyond their duty to ensure she is safe and well.
I get regular updates, videos on social media and have spoken to Mum on the phone which has given me so much comfort. The staff at Shawcross love the residents as if they were their own, being with them when we, the relatives, can't.
Words cannot express my gratitude and never-ending thanks to the wonderful carers, housekeepers, cooks, activity staff, maintenance guys and admin staff.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart you are all amazing.

Shawcross is simply an amazing care home, and we are so lucky that all the staff show such dedication in looking and after my parents. Nothing is too much trouble; everyone goes out of their way to help and show you kindness. It really is appreciated, and there is always a lovely happy atmosphere for
residents, with lots of activities on offer.
It is a very difficult time for families when your loved ones need to go into care; it really helps that Shawcross treat their residents like family and with such dignity.

From day one, excellent care provided. All residents seem well looked after and receive the care they need. The care home itself is well maintained and feels like home. The staff at Shawcross are all approachable and happy to help support and listen to residents and their families. I would definately
recommend to people needing help, care and support.

When visiting my auntie today (I only visit once a year). I was thrilled to see the nursery children working with the residents. It was a very touching, beneficial session and beautiful to observe. They were making gingerbread men and then the children sang Christmas songs.
The staff all were so caring
it brought a tear to my eye. Well done!

My 96-year-old mother was a resident at Shawcross for some sixteen months until her recent death. Her time there was always made more comfortable for both her and I because of the level and standard of care she received from all staff. As her dependency needs increased, the staff responded with the
same care and attention without missing a beat - a sign of a well-trained, efficient, effective and competent team. Her comfort, dignity and wellbeing were always paramount to the staff and they respected her wishes and treated her, and I, with respect always. All staff are happy to go the extra mile, often under difficult situations, with a smile. The compassion I received at the time of her death and the lead up to it quite overwhelmed me. They were so sympathetic, compassionate and caring. To them, it’s not “just a job”. I will always have fond memories and the highest respect for Four Seasons, Shawcross and the staff.

Thank you, Keith, for your kind comments about our Care team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Shawcross Care Home.

Thank you again, Keith, if there is anything more we can do please do not hesitate to reach out.

This care home is where my mum spent her last 15 months and my auntie, her last five years.
The staff could not have looked after them any more than if they were their own relatives, so much so, that as a thank you, I help a little with their weekly bingo.
I could not praise the whole staff enough.

Shawcross Care Home is not just a home, but a "happy home" for both patients and family. Before my husband got into Shawcross, I used to cry every night, as he had lost the will to live but now thanks to all the carers, we are all so happy, nothing is too much for them. The lady in charge is wonderful,
explaining about my husband's tablet and how he is progressing and he "special" carers have even got him walking again. We all look forward to going, especially Bingo. Myself and my family are so lucky to have found Shawcross. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Shawcross is a bright, clean and cheerful place. Therapy dog Henry is a wonderful addition to the warm and friendly staff. My husband was a resident, he felt well cared for, safe and secure. Since he moved in, he had begun to smile again, thanks to the most excellent care he was receiving.
My husband
sadly died on Wednesday 20th March 2019. The staff who were there behaved in an exemplary way. Their kindness, compassion and professionalism helped enormously.

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.
