I would like to thank all the staff from the management to the cleaners, they are so dedicated. I think this care home should be an example to all other care homes should be managed. Well done on an excellent achievement.

After looking at care homes in our area, our family decided that Shawcross was our first-class for my husband who needs E.M.I care. We found the home clean and roomy bedrooms with a good sized window with a view of the road. We found the staff very caring not only to my husband but to all our family,
greeting us with first names, which made us feel they cared about family as well as residents. The activities they provide for the residents is very good and they encourage them to take part.

From my initial meeting with the care home manager showing us around to my Dad moving in, I felt at ease with the person and the home. I had looked around many homes and this stood out as far fresher in appearance and looked spacious and homely in the communal areas. Once Dad had moved in, I felt most
staff whom I came across to be friendly and caring. Dad had some settling in issues and they dealt with them swiftly.

My Mum has been here for over a week and I am very pleased with their standard of care, cleanliness. Her room is en-suite. The cleanliness of the communal room, entrance and Mum's room is of a very high standard. The staff are all very pleasant, caring and know some of my Mum's preferences in just one
week. I feel like this is a home from home. It has a good reputation and was recommended by a neighbour too (the best recommendation is 'word of mouth').

Shawcross is a beautiful home. The manager and all staff are caring helpful and friendly. The home is spotless and the rooms are lovely. The safety and security for the residents is excellent. My mother, a resident is well looked after. The carers do a great job taking care of her. They are so caring
and helpful with everyone. I am so glad and pleased that my mother is here, I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. She looks so content.
I come here everyday and it's like a home from home. The management and staff are doing a great job. I can't praise them enough and I recommend Shawcross to anyone who talks about care homes to me.

The staff are so kind and considerate with their residents. They take care to get to know all their personalities likes and dislikes. They make sure that the residents are happy safe and secure, their welfare comes first and nothing is too much trouble. The home is bright and colourful with lots of
extra thoughtful touches like frames with wool or jewellery for the residents to use. Guitars and photos, mementos and memory joggers on the walls to make a friendly homely atmosphere.

I travel from London every 3 weeks and I know that my mum is being looked after very well and I can have peace of mind, being so far away, this means a lot to me. The carers and medical staff are always on hand and will help with any questions I need to ask in connection with mum's health and needs.
Mum is always clean and health looking. Housekeeping is good and I am so glad to have mum with such lovely happy genuine carers.

My mum came to Shawcross in November 2015. I am so delighted with the way she has settled and the care she is receiving. I cannot find any fault, the staff are so caring, friendly and supportive not just to residents but to family too. I have recommended the home already and will continue to do so.
Thank you.

This will be my mother-in-laws third year in Shawcross and she has gone from an angry very confused to a more settled and calmer person. She enjoys doing the activities and goes on the trips out. She went to Blackpool twice last year and really enjoyed it. We have no problems leaving her and she quite
happily waves us off. Everyone in the home is pleasant and friendly if we have any concerns they are quickly dealt with.

First visit to assess the suitability of the facilities was a pleasant experience with an informative and open approach by the staff nurse who showed us around. We got the impression of an open and caring atmosphere that was echoed by the few residents we talked to within the communal lounge. It was
clearly a warm and caring atmosphere that was endorsed by other staff and residents. After a month and the final stages of my father's life, I remain impressed by the care and attention that has been paid to him at all times with considerate attention to his individual needs, his dignity and his personal wishes. As a family we could not have asked for more at this sad time.

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.
