Dad/ Jim came to to the Clough over 4 years ago when it became obvious that he was not safe at home. We were all concerned that he wouldn't settle as he was a very independent man. We need not have worried. The staff at the Clough always treated dad with respect and always let him be him. Dad passed away 3 weeks ago aged 92, peacefully in his room. We will always be grateful to the staff for their care and commitment over the past 4 years.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about the care provided over the past four years. It was a privilege to care for Jim, and we are grateful for the trust you placed in us.

What a wonderful place! My Mother moved into The Clough at the end of Feb 2026 and she is very happy there. She has a lovely big room with fantastic views of the large garden. The building and facilities are very well maintained. The care staff are all welcoming, friendly, supportive and show a real interest in the residents wellbeing. My Mother is always complimenting the staff and how much she likes living there. The food looks great from my observations and Mum is enjoying it. There are constant special events and activities, in fact she has a better social life than me.
My mum is happy and that's all that matters. Just concern on cleaning of room and smell in bedroom. Laundry not returning her items and on numerous occasions we have seen other residents in mum's clothes. Personal items ( bed throws) gone missing. Great activities since the return of the events...

Best residential care home in Bolton. Great staff and my mum is very happy there. Could not have picked a better place for my mum to be looked after. She says the food is very good and I believe her. Plus they have plenty of activities going on.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We love to hear your feedback, especially so positive - I will be sure to pass this over to our wonderful staff!
My grandad is at The Clough. The team are fantastic and the manager is lovely. Any problems we can just speak with her. The staff are very caring and it is noticeable that the manager has an eye for detail, which reflects in the tidiness of the home. There is a new deputy and she seems really nice...
All in all a five-star rating from me.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I will be sure to hand this over to our staff. Many thanks.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate and value all feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your concern regarding the lift. We have been very lucky with the consistent runnings of the lift.However as you have highlighted, there have been some minor problems and unfortunately with most lifts mechanical issues can and do happen, but rest assured that it is never for an extended period of time. We always strive to ensure prompt repairs and minimize any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for recognizing the hard work and dedication of our wonderful staff, I will be sure to pass your kind words over to the team!
My dad recently moved into The Clough Care Home, from the first day he was made to feel at home. The staff are caring, friendly and also always available to discuss Dad’s needs. Every visit to Dad also includes an update from the staff on how Dad is settling in.

Our friend experienced...
Our friend experienced end-of-life care that could not have been any better. Staff were kind, caring and compassionate.
We were also visiting another friend at a different home which couldn't be compared with The Clough.
Hence he was moved there. From needing a hoist in and out of a chair, The Clough staff worked to enable him to stand and walk aided by a Zimmer. That's dedication for you.
Hence, from our experience, we recommend The Clough. It is set in nice surroundings, with gardens, a patio and a conservatory. Judging by what we have experienced, residents are treated as people and not commodities.
Thank you for your kind words. Our staff do go above and beyond and it's always great to be able to show our staff the positive feedback and appreciation from family and friends.

My mum moved to The Clough on 20/10/2022. She has settled really well, never having experienced any care setting previously. Mum was at home prior to admission to the hospital on 05/09/20222. I visited The Clough, spoke with the manager and knew this was the right place for Mum. The staff are so caring, dedicated and motivate the residents to be the best they can be. It is 100% a great home.

I have nothing but great words for the team at The Clough.
This is a care home where you walk in and feel a happy atmosphere. There are numerous rooms i.e. the busy room and the quiet room. This gives my granny the opportunity to choose where she is seated depending on how she is feeling that day.
Staff are always very busy but always have a smile (sometimes with their eyes if they are wearing face masks) for you. They will always offer us a cup of tea and a biscuit.
The manager is lovely and often comes and asks us how we are and if everything is ok.
We just know my granny is safe and looked after and we thank the whole team for this.
Also, the Christmas party was fantastic and we all enjoyed it. Thank you, you are all angels.
Thank you for your kind words and we are glad you enjoyed our Christmas party.

This means a lot to all of our team at The Clough. The team work very hard around the clock to look after our residents and it's always lovely to be able to hand over positive and kind words from our friends and family who visit.
My mother has only been here for a few days, however, so far it has been a very positive experience. All the staff have been welcoming and helpful. The room is very nice and clean. It seems like there are plenty of activities to keep the residents occupied.

The staff have been great with Mum, in very trying circumstances. Still issues with hearing aids and glasses, but Mum not helping the situation at all. The social worker will be very helpful in being the bridge between family and staff.

My late wife's mother is cared for in an excellent environment by caring and attentive staff. In fact, I don't know how I would have managed without them!

Hi, I’m Shane, the new Home Manager at The Clough.
I’ve worked in adult social care for over 12 years, and during that time I’ve been fortunate enough to work across a wide range of services and roles. I’ve progressed from working directly in care through to senior, management and multi-site leadership positions.
Despite the different job titles I’ve held over the years, the part of care that has always mattered most to me is the people. I’m approachable, down-to-earth and very much a people person. I believe a good manager should be visible, accessible and know the people living in their home, their families and the team supporting them.
Being a Home Manager is a privilege because families are trusting us with someone incredibly important to them.For me, the role is about far more than managing a building, completing paperwork or meeting regulations. It’s about creating a home where people feel safe, valued, listened to, and genuinely cared for.
I enjoy seeing the difference that good leadership can make not only to the people living in the home, but to the staff team too. When staff feel supported, valued and confident in what they do, that naturally translates into better care.
I also believe strongly that a manager should never become disconnected from the people receiving care. I want residents and relatives to know who I am, feel comfortable approaching me and know that my door is always open.
I want The Clough to be somewhere that we would all be happy for someone we love to call home.
I want to build on the already strong reputation of The Clough and continue moving the home forward. I want us to provide excellent, person-centred care while continuing to develop, improve and never become complacent.
I’m also passionate about developing people. I want staff to feel proud of where they work, have opportunities to grow, and understand that their ideas and opinions genuinely matter.
Ultimately, I want people to hear the name The Clough and associate it with compassionate care, a happy home and a team that genuinely cares.
No two days in social care are ever quite the same!
I enjoy the variety, the people and the opportunity to make a genuine difference. Some days that difference might come from making a significant improvement within the service; other days it could simply be sitting down with a resident for a cup of tea and a chat.
Those smaller moments matter just as much to me.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing people happy in their home and knowing that you and your team have played a part in creating that.
My biggest values are kindness, respect, accountability and compassion.
I believe people should be treated as individuals and supported to live their lives in the way they choose.
I also believe strongly in leading by example. I would never expect somebody in my team to do something that I wouldn’t be prepared to do myself.
I value openness too. We won’t always get everything perfect, but what matters is that we are honest, learn when things don't go as planned and constantly look for ways to become better.
Outside of work, family is incredibly important to me, and I love spending quality time with my partner and those closest to me.
Home life is rarely quiet as we also have our dog, Betsy, and two cats, who are very much part of the family and certainly keep us entertained!
When I get some downtime, one of my favourite things to do is read. I’m a huge fan of fantasy books and can quite happily lose an entire evening in a good story. I also enjoy getting outdoors, going for walks, being active, and simply spending time with family and friends.
For me, the best way to switch off after a busy week is spending time with the people I love, surrounded by the animals, with a good book never too far away.

Hi, I’m Lynnette, the Deputy Manager at The Clough.
I have worked in the care sector for 15 years, beginning my career as a carer and progressing through the roles of Senior Carer and Team Leader, before taking on my current role as Deputy Manager. I have been the Deputy Manager at The Clough since June 2025, and I’m proud of the experience and knowledge I bring to my role.
I enjoy spending time on the floor, working alongside the team and supporting staff in any way I can. I believe that being present and approachable is an important part of creating a positive environment for both our residents and staff.
It is incredibly important to me that every resident feels heard, valued and supported. My aim is always to help residents feel comfortable, safe and at ease, ensuring that The Clough feels like a true home where everyone is treated with dignity, kindness and respect.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. I’m also a keen supporter of Bolton Wanderers, and I love following the team whenever I can!
