Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I travel from London every 3 weeks and I know that my mum is being looked after very well and I can have peace of mind, being so far away, this means a lot to me. The carers and medical staff are always on hand and will help with any questions I need to ask in connection with mum's health and needs.
Mum is always clean and health looking. Housekeeping is good and I am so glad to have mum with such lovely happy genuine carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to Shawcross in November 2015. I am so delighted with the way she has settled and the care she is receiving. I cannot find any fault, the staff are so caring, friendly and supportive not just to residents but to family too. I have recommended the home already and will continue to do so.
Thank you.

Review from Denise (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This will be my mother-in-laws third year in Shawcross and she has gone from an angry very confused to a more settled and calmer person. She enjoys doing the activities and goes on the trips out. She went to Blackpool twice last year and really enjoyed it. We have no problems leaving her and she quite
happily waves us off. Everyone in the home is pleasant and friendly if we have any concerns they are quickly dealt with.

Review from Ron M (Son of Resident) published on 29 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
First visit to assess the suitability of the facilities was a pleasant experience with an informative and open approach by the staff nurse who showed us around. We got the impression of an open and caring atmosphere that was echoed by the few residents we talked to within the communal lounge. It was
clearly a warm and caring atmosphere that was endorsed by other staff and residents. After a month and the final stages of my father's life, I remain impressed by the care and attention that has been paid to him at all times with considerate attention to his individual needs, his dignity and his personal wishes. As a family we could not have asked for more at this sad time.

From entering Shawcross Care Home my mum has been treated with excellent care. She has been treated with dignity and could not fault the staff at all. They are all very professional and very caring. We feel her quality of life is greatly improved now.

The new manager and care staff have much improved Shawcross Care Home. More activities for residents to join in, creating a better, happier atmosphere for residents. At meetings with the manager points relatives make are noted and if possible acted upon.

Review from Sandra C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home really impressed me as soon as I walked in, to check it out as a place for my mum to live in. The building is modern, light and brightly decorated. The rooms are large, with big windows, some of them with lovely views. Wide corridors facilitate movement around , the rooms are also en-suite.
Refurbishment is taking place on some rooms and the standard of this work is very good and well organised. The home is well managed and the staff are very caring and gentle. Dignity is high on the agenda and the atmosphere is very happy. I would recommend to anybody.

Review from Eamonn M (Grandson of Resident) published on 21 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandma suffered a severe stroke and as a result cannot eat/drink/speak or hardly move and is bed ridden. All the staff give my grandma excellent care and often have her in stiches with laughter. I think my grandma is extremely happy here. We'd all lover her to be at home but the care needed means
that is not possible, because of this I don't think any of the family would want her to be anywhere other than here. I cant speak highly enough of the staff and the rooms are excellent.

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.
