I am thrilled with the ambience created at Sharston House. The staff are very professional and caring. The birthday party arranged yesterday for my friend was just fantastic. The small intimate room was wonderful + table laid and food provided of a high standard.

It was the summer fair on Saturday 2nd August. The event proved popular with all ages and the lord mayor together with the local MP also attended. There was a wide variety of stalls and attractions, the local radio station worked extremely hard to make it a success while still ensuring high quality
care for the residents. The kitchen staff supplied an abundance of colourful and tasty hot and cold food. Many thanks to all for a great day!

Sharston House is situated in a quiet residential area in Knutsford with good parking facilities directly outside the house.


Delicious food is served daily with the menu displayed in the lobby.


Good security is in place with entry and exit protocols being practised. On entering you are welcomed

by a very friendly team who are approachable and kind. It feels like a home from home with a lovely atmosphere.


The care, attention and consideration to each resident is lovely to see. My mother has greatly benefitted from this individual personal and nursing care which is particularly reflected in the lengths taken by the team to get to know her personally.


The team encourage a communal spirit and my mother is now engaging with the other residents and the many activities. On sunny days full use is made of the attractive outside courtyard area which the residents clearly enjoy.


I highly recommend Sharston House and their truly exceptional team.

Mum has been in Sharston for just over two years now. We visit several times a week and have always been made welcome. Mum has been well cared for from the day that she arrived. The staff have all been 100% professional, they know their patients quirks and preferences and always treat them with respect

"International womans day" and "mothers day" what a delight it was to commemorate both the above occasions at Shawston House. The staff worked hard to ensure that visitors and residents enjoyed both afternoons. The chef and kitchen staff provided a great variety of food to enchant the eye and palate!
We also had the pleasure of chatting to our local MP on womans day as she joined in with the fun! Many thanks to all involved.

My dad has been residing in Sharston House for the last 5 months. During this time, his care has been exceptional. Whilst it's hard not having him live at home with my mum anymore, after 60 years of marriage,e it gives us great comfort to know he is safe and well cared for.
All the staff treat both

The care staff at Sharston House are very friendly

My mum has been here 15 months and the care she receives is excellent. The staff are consistently caring and as they are permanent this greatly help Mum feel safe and has built some lasting relationships which gives us as a family reassurance that when we're not with her she is haooy. The level of activity
is amazing, with new activities and current affairs taken into account.

Sharston House was a godsend for us finding a care home for my mum. I knew on first meeting the lovely staff and looking round that it would be perfect and I was right. The nurses and all the staff in the kitchen and laundry are so wonderful. Special mention must be given to 5 members of staff in particular
for their beautiful, caring, detailed attentions and nursing expertise. When I heard Mum say 'I'm so lucky to be here', I was very glad. The atmosphere and the room are very nice and I can recommend the home fully.

My mum has been a resident of Sharston House since July 2024. She has significant nursing needs and it took time to find her a nursing home which could care for her effectively. It gives much comfort to know she is now receiving the care she needs in a place she now feels at home. The management and
staff are extremely professional, caring, attentive and helpful, both inhouse and facilitating with hospital appointments. Communication is regular and timely. They go above and beyond.

Friendly welcome when you enter Sharston House, no sooner have you sat down with your relative you are offered a drink. The building albeit quite an old house has been adapted very well to suit the needs of the residents. There is a pleasant aroma around the nursing home quite different from the majority.
Food is excellent with a choice for the residents at most meal times. The bedrooms are bright and well equipped, residents are encouraged to bring in their own pictures, ornament etc. A wide variety of entertainment, particularity these past two week celebrating Christmas. All in all a pleasant environment to have a relative/friend living here. Would highly recommend Sharston House

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Sharston House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.699 for Sharston House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (378 Excellents x 5) + (130 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 521 Ratings = 4.699
  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 Sharston House Nursing Home is based on 43 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 43 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.
