Review from Helen G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were unable to meet the staff or view the home due to covid, however it was the best decision we could have made. The staff from cleaners to management always go over and above. They really are a second family. They are extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the residents needs, constantly
reviewing and recording.
The atmosphere is loving, welcoming and calm.
At the end of my dad's life, they asked for him to transfer from hospital so they could provide palliative care. Staff sat and had their break with him so he wouldn't be alone, he was truly loved.
They treated him with respect at all times and made a difficult time that bit easier.
On the day of his funeral, staff lined up to pay respects as the hearse took him from his home one last time.
They are an absolutely amazing, dedicated team, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Deanwood for everything you have done.

Thank you all at Dean Wood Manor, now and into the future, from the bottom of our hearts.
Mum was officially diagnosed with Vascular Dementia in October 2022. In February 2023, she was placed in the first of 4 different Care Homes, all of which failed, due to Mum's physical and mental attitudes. Mum
finally moved into Dean Wood Manor in October 2023.
The care and attention at Dean Wood Manor has led to Mum being the happiest she's ever been, since getting diagnosed with this awful disease.
Mum's general attitude can often be confrontational and difficult. All the staff at the home are so patient and kind with Mum and they can pre-empt her moods and actions and make her life more bearable. We really could not be happier with the care she's received over the past two years.
James and I are so very grateful that Mum has finally found a home at Dean Wood Manor, where she is content, with such wonderful, caring and dedicated staff, who really have her best interest at heart.

Both of my parents have been residents in other care homes in the Wigan area but nothing has compared to Dean Wood Manor. My Mum has been there for many years and my Dad was there until his passing in June. The staff are amazing and they really care for the welfare, health and wellbeing of the residents.
They plan and monitor meticulously and I saw a marked improvement in Dad especially from the first few weeks of being there. They really are exceptional and communicate effectively with loved ones which is especially important for me and my brother as both live abroad. I can't recommend Dean Wood enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been resident at this home since December 2023 and a member of our family has visited almost every day. The whole family is very happy with the level of care she has received during this time it has exceeded any of her previous placements and Mum seems happy and settled. The staff are
caring, attentive to the resident's needs and requirements, and always welcoming to myself and other family members.
My only criticism would be the standard of the tea beverage served at some meals. I understand that it cannot be overly hot due to health and safety reasons but sometimes it is very weak and insipid.

My wife has been a resident for 9 months and I am very pleased with her care, she is settled in the home and is calm and relaxed in her surroundings.

I just want to say thank you to all the staff for looking after my mum for ten years.
The home is excellent, staff always kind, and they treat everyone like family. Mum's room was always clean, but most importantly, Mum was looked after from day one. Even at the end, they stood outside when Mum made
her final journey; I will never forget what they did for us from the beginning to the end. Thank you, Dean Wood Manor.

My partner was accepted into the home on the understanding he couldn't walk, the wonderful staff within two days had him walking, which was wonderful to see. The level of care he receives is outstanding, all the lovely staff go way above and beyond to help him even when his behaviour is difficult. He
is always dressed, clean and tidy. The manager does an exceptional job always helpful and goes out of her way for her residents and also the visitors. I am so grateful my partner was able to go to this wonderful home. Would definitely recommend.

Grandma has been a resident for several weeks now and she settled in so well and we can tell she is well looked after.
At first we, as a family, were worried that this move wouldn’t be for her as she has had issues in a previous home but we have had no concerns at all. She spends time in the communal
areas and engages in activities with the other residents.
We are thankful for all the staff's support in making this such a smooth transition.

My friend has been a resident here for a while now and I have visited her on several occasions. On every visit I am impressed by the care and attention given to my friend and also to the other residents. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff and they go out of their way to ensure everyone
is as settled as possible and as happy as they can be. No one wants to see their friend or relative in a care home, but just knowing that they are really cared for and looked after makes such a huge difference. Ten out of ten from me.

My brother is only 58 and has been with Dean Wood Manor just over 12 months. The level of care he receives is outstanding. All the staff go above and beyond. He is always dressed smart and clean.

I would definitely recommend this care home as 5 stars.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.852)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Dean Wood Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.852 for Dean Wood Manor is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.852
  2. 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 Dean Wood Manor is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
