Located just outside of Ashton-in-Makerfield, Shawcross Care Home offers residential, nursing, dementia, respite and day care within a supportive, welcoming shared home community.
The team at Shawcross understand that moving in marks an important new chapter and take time to ensure everyone feels seen, heard and valued from the start of their journey into care. Personalised care plans and meaningful daily experiences help residents continue enjoying the things they love, as well as setting new goals and aspirations.
Daily life is shaped by an experienced care team alongside the Wellbeing Lead, who organises activities and experiences built around each person's interests. Close ties with local community groups are at the heart of life here - residents attend the local dementia café each week, and the home's minibus is always busy with outings to parks, garden centres, cafés, pubs and local attractions. Whether it's a trip to the seaside or fish and chips on the prom, getting out and about is a big part of what makes Shawcross feel like home. Back at the house, regular movie nights bring everyone together.
With beautiful bedrooms, lovely gardens and outdoor spaces, a fully equipped salon and nutritious home-cooked meals, Shawcross Care Home is a place where relationships, connection and meaningful moments truly matter.

Our mum moved into Shawcross in September 2025 after seven weeks in hospital. It was meant to be a short stay, but after settling in she became much more comfortable. She was diagnosed with mixed dementia in December, and as a family we felt it was safest for her to remain there - something Mum...

I never believed the time or need to choose a care home for my dad would ever come, sadly dementia began to win. I visited Shawcross and immediately felt I didn't have a dilemma, the ethos is palpable, the atmosphere is filled with empathy and genuine care. The staff know the people they are caring for, it is evident from their interest and curiosity that they want to see the whole person, and they do. Shawcross staff have given my dad as much autonomy as possible in a secure environment, he is nourished physically, mentally and emotionally, he is thriving! They are providing an environment for dad to start living again, he is seen, heard and understood, he is included and appreciated. The greatest gift they have given me is to be able to be a daughter again, we are having fun and making memories and I thank them all.
Thank you for your support. The team and I work hard to ensure everybody is included and able to take part. It is a pleasure to be able to support your dad and yourself.

My sister-in-law has lived in this home for several months. She has a lovely large room overlooking green land. She feels at home here and enjoys watching the horses in the field. Through visiting twice a week we have witnessed the excellent care given to her by kind, respectful, caring staff. Although her condition fluctuates due to health issues, the staff have dealt with them efficiently. Our relative says she is happy here in her home. We feel at peace that she is being looked after well.
Thank you for your kind words. my team and i work hard to ensure the best care for your loved one. Many thanks

My sister required 24hr care due to failing health & dementia. Although a very difficult decision to have to make. I feel this is the right home for her. I see the same staff regularly who show that they have got to know my sister & care for her well with love & dignity. The facilities are good & the views at the back windows stunning. When she's well enough she has enjoyed us taking her to the social club next door & the church across the road which have established a good relationship with this homes staff & residents.
Thank you for your review ,we appreciate your kind words . Thanks

Sadly he passed but was looked after in a way I can only describe as passionate caring and beyond professional. The staff, from cleaners, cooks, office and nurses are the most professional I can say. Not only cared for my dad but cared for each and every family member in attendance. Big big thank you especially in those last days, especially Sharon and Molly. X
After couple of week Mum showed signs of improvement started eating food. Staff, manager could not do enough, all very patient. Nothing too much trouble. Regular activities put on. Rooms are clean. Mum...
After couple of week Mum showed signs of improvement started eating food. Staff, manager could not do enough, all very patient. Nothing too much trouble. Regular activities put on. Rooms are clean. Mum very comfortable.

Our valued team are here to create meaningful experiences each day and it's a pleasure to care for her. It means the world for our team to receive this recognition and I'll be sure to pass this onto our team.
They made a fuss of him when he was 100 and did him a party. All the carers do their best also all staff and they work so hard.

Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Does not seem like a care home, more like a well-run hotel. The staff are caring, and patient and always make me a cup of tea when visiting. My dad is always clean and happy when I visit.

Our mum has been in Shawcross Care Home for only two weeks, I cannot believe the difference in the home compared to her last home. The care she is receiving has been exceptional, even as far as how clean she looks and dressed in matching clothing, making her feel good. The activities have been really good, and Mum has enjoyed them - she is still a little unsure, but with moving her from her previous home and being in the hospital for over four weeks, she's just unsettled. I'm sure she will settle and we as a family can relax she is getting the best of care.
Thank you to you and your family for your kind words - it's wonderful to hear about the quality care we're providing for your mum and we'll pass this valuable feedback to our team members. Please continue to reach out to the manager, the activities coordinator and the rest of the team to support your mum's transition - we're here for each other.
My husband was a resident at Showcross for seven months and died there on the 9th of December 2023. We were just too late to be with him, but he was surrounded by loving care, as he had been throughout. We, too, experience the compassionate care of the wonderful staff. They dealt with all the...
I cannot thank Shawcross enough for making those last months as good as they could possibly be.
Grateful for the kindness, professionalism and dignity shown to our treasured mum. Staff are caring and well trained and the home is managed extremely well we always feel listened to and supported by the staff.

We were made very welcome on arrival. The home is very clean and warm. My husband enjoyed the food and the staff were very caring. The home seems to be well managed.

My mum has been living here for five weeks, and I'm happy, and she is too. We have been made very welcome by everyone, and I am so glad I chose Shawcross for my mum to live in.
