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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Sometimes my wife needs assistance and depending on the staff on duty this isn't always met when I am visiting. I visit during the evening and find that staff are too busy at night to put her to bed before I leave, which means I leave later than planned so I can see her comfortable.
Overall, the home
is good, clean with good facilities but could benefit from more staff.

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.

Review from Debbie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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
Mum has started to have regular baths.
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.

For the short length of time dad has resided at the home, I found the staff extremely helpful and pleasant.
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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').

Shawcross is a beautiful home. The manager and all staff are caring helpful and friendly. The home is spotless and the rooms are lovely. The safety and security for the residents is excellent. My mother, a resident is well looked after. The carers do a great job taking care of her. They are so caring
and helpful with everyone. I am so glad and pleased that my mother is here, I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. She looks so content.
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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) out of 10 for Shawcross Care Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.890 for Shawcross Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.89
  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 Shawcross Care Home is based on 17 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 17 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.
