St George's Nursing Home (Wigan)

I am totally appreciative of the staff at St George's, who was always kind and supportive during the passing of my father.

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.

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).

I am very content with my mums care.

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.

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.

Initially, not sure as had heard bad things about St George's, but happy to say they were totally incorrect. 100% excellent place. Mother died pain-free; she died peacefully in her own time. Excellent staff and nursing home.

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.

My mum was taken to St George's following a visit to the hospital. Every member of staff was kind, considerate and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this home. Special mention to the manager and six other members of staff.

All staff at all levels make the residents safe, comfortable and healthy. They make every effort to be a friend to all they care for. I feel content that my wife is enjoying her life as much as possible.

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.

Mum came to the home for end of life care. Staff and manager were fantastic. Treated Mum with love, care and respect. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

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.

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 love the place, staff are really good and a good manager and atmosphere. The manager is very friendly and approachable. I can see my friend is happy whenever I visit. The home offered food every time I visit.

The way they treated her with care and dignity was as much as anyone could ask for and you could see it was genuine.
