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.

Thank you, Veronica, for sharing your experience at Shawcross Care Home. We are really pleased to hear you are happy here! We love having you. Have a fantastic day!
My mother has been in Shawcross Care Home for nearly four years. I know 24 hours a day she is in good hands, clean, safe and comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who work hard and are always on hand. The home is welcoming, clean and well managed.

I think that this care home overall is good. Sometimes my nan can be taken to bed too late or too early. Sometimes families concerns aren't acted on immediately, but I understand they are busy.

The home is clean with a wide range of food/choice given, staff are friendly and helpful but run off their feet (understaffed). My reason for this is when asked to attend to Mum, they sometimes say they are doing something else. The facilities are good, they have a hairdresser coming in weekly, and...
Overall, I would say the home have made improvements but there is still room for improvement. I have voiced my concerns but feel these aren't taken onboard as quickly as I would like.

The residence itself is very clean and the meals are, or should I say look, very appetising,
All in all, I am very happy with dad's care.

After a very upsetting time having ot choose nursing accommodation so quickly, the staff made the transition much easier to deal with. Very welcoming, helpful and caring. Everybody in the home finds time to speak and update you daily. Would certainly recommend.

I would like to thank all the staff from the management to the cleaners, they are so dedicated. I think this care home should be an example to all other care homes should be managed. Well done on an excellent achievement.

After looking at care homes in our area, our family decided that Shawcross was our first-class for my husband who needs E.M.I care. We found the home clean and roomy bedrooms with a good sized window with a view of the road. We found the staff very caring not only to my husband but to all our family, greeting us with first names, which made us feel they cared about family as well as residents. The activities they provide for the residents is very good and they encourage them to take part.
I am very happy being here in Shawcross. I am well looked after with lots of care and attention.

From my initial meeting with the care home manager showing us around to my Dad moving in, I felt at ease with the person and the home. I had looked around many homes and this stood out as far fresher in appearance and looked spacious and homely in the communal areas. Once Dad had moved in, I felt most staff whom I came across to be friendly and caring. Dad had some settling in issues and they dealt with them swiftly.
I have always found the home to be very personal, caring and interested in patient care. The staff are professional and helpful. The room my nan has is fantastic and perfect for her needs.

My Mum has been here for over a week and I am very pleased with their standard of care, cleanliness. Her room is en-suite. The cleanliness of the communal room, entrance and Mum's room is of a very high standard. The staff are all very pleasant, caring and know some of my Mum's preferences in just one week. I feel like this is a home from home. It has a good reputation and was recommended by a neighbour too (the best recommendation is 'word of mouth').
Excellent service provided by staff for my grandad. Food choice is good and activities are always ongoing. I would certainly recommend Shawcross Care Home to anyone who was considering it.

I come here everyday and it's like a home from home. The management and staff are doing a great job. I can't praise them enough and I recommend Shawcross to anyone who talks about care homes to me.
We have visited my mum's friend and old neighbour and found him to be much happier and more settled in Shawcross. The staff are so caring of him and his needs. The room is bright and comfortable. He is enjoying food again, is safe and secure.

The staff are so kind and considerate with their residents. They take care to get to know all their personalities likes and dislikes. They make sure that the residents are happy safe and secure, their welfare comes first and nothing is too much trouble. The home is bright and colourful with lots of extra thoughtful touches like frames with wool or jewellery for the residents to use. Guitars and photos, mementos and memory joggers on the walls to make a friendly homely atmosphere.
