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.

My mum has been in Shawcross a couple of years now, I could not fault her treatment in the home from all the staff, they are all polite and respectful and treat her with dignity.

Shawcross Care Home is not just a home, but a "happy home" for both patients and family. Before my husband got into Shawcross, I used to cry every night, as he had lost the will to live but now thanks to all the carers, we are all so happy, nothing is too much for them. The lady in charge is wonderful, explaining about my husband's tablet and how he is progressing and he "special" carers have even got him walking again. We all look forward to going, especially Bingo. Myself and my family are so lucky to have found Shawcross. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My dad has been in Shawcross for nearly three months. He has settled in well. The home is clean and decorated well. Staff are approachable and address any concerns that we have swiftly.

I came to visit a dear friend of mine on the Dementia residential side of the home, I have never visited a care home before and I could not believe my eyes, the place was immaculate and so bright (totally the opposite to what I expected due to a complete misconception of care homes) I overheard the staff having fun and singing with the residents. My friend is so happy and looking the best I have seen him in over 5 years! The female manager helped me feel at ease offering me a cup of tea and showing me to my friend's room. The care home and the staff in the 45 minute visit I had have totally changed my perception of the care system in to believing that not all care homes are like what you see on the news, on the way out I met up with the male manager who again greeted me with a smile and asked how I was.

My dad was a resident in Shawcross for a very short while, during his time he was well cared for, the staff were amazing and the outside hospice care was brilliant. My dad sadly died in the home and they made him very comfortable in his final hours.

Although dad has a poor appetite the staff were very patient and made all attempts to find him something that he fancied.
All in all, it was a good experience for both dad and us at a very trying time.

My wife loves being at Shawcross Care Home. There has been a huge improvement since she came to Shawcross Care Home. She is walking better and more alert. I could not have thought of a better place other than home. Shawcross Care Home is a home from home.

Such a great care home. The staff on EMI cared for my mother right until the end. We couldn't have asked for a more dignified and comfortable death for Mum. Her time spent at Shawcross Care Home we know were some of her happiest times.

Showers should be provided in the nursing home. The care home states they cater for people with MS but I am the only person in here with MS and there is a lack of knowledge on this condition as most of the residents here are elderly or have dementia/Alzheimer's. Many of the carers are very good and do their best but not enough carers to cope. Food is variable. I enjoy the visiting dogs and I am treated with dignity and feel safe.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Shawcross Care Home. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your views. We have worked very hard over the past months to ensure staffing levels are maintained to ensure our residents are well looked after and safe at all times. I am pleased to confirm we have an abundance of staff within the home, resulting in zero agency staff working within the home. We have multiple shower facilities within the home which are used by residents regularly, but if you would like to discuss these facilities further we would be delighted to help even further. We are working hard to increase our awareness and knowledge of MS across the home, and have been able to provide evidence of the steps taken to ensure that care is provided at the highest standard. If there is something you would like to highlight to us, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns further. We conduct catering surveys weekly to ensure that we improve on any feedback received in relation to the food we serve in the home. We also provide bespoke meals across the home, which has proved popular with many residents in the home.
Thank you once again, we really appreciate you taking the time to send us your comments, we hope we have been able to help. If there is anything more we can do please let us know. Take care!
