Well, I was very well looked after. Staff were very kind in a caring way. Food was lovely, tasty and filling. I spent a very restful time. Your washing was done and brought back fresh on hangers, out in your wardrobe the same day. Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum was transferred to Sharston House after an initial 4-weeks in the hospital, following a bad fall at home. There is obviously never a good time for these things to happen, and with the added complications of lockdown isolation and procedures, we worried for Mum's peace of mind.
We need not have.
From a period of 24-hours before her arrival to date, my sister and I have been kept fully informed of her progress.
Due to the medication, she has been on, there have been good days and bad, but there has always been someone available to speak to and give us full updates. Phone and FaceTime calls are regularly facilitated, and more recently, face to face visits by appointment.
I had thought here to mention of a couple of members of staff by name who are always prepared to go the extra mile, but that would be unfair as there are so many dedicated staff at the home.
Thank you all, we are so grateful.

Every single member of staff with whom we have had contact in the 18-months that my mother has vee a resident has always been helpful, courteous, kind and supportive. Any changes in her condition are dealt with straight away and advised directly to myself or my father. Despite the incredibly difficult
times, the home has faced over the past six months, every effort has been made to minimise the upset and unrest the lockdown period must have has on residents.

Several weeks ago we lost a dear member of our family, my Father, and our daughters' Granddad. Dad was 92 and in poor health, he had struggled on valiantly for a number of years. The time came when we had to think of him going into care, it was arranged for Dad to go to Sharston House by the nurses
at MacMillan. Many years ago Mum had suffered a stroke and had been admitted to Sharston house nursing home in Knutsford so we knew from our experience then, that the care that Dad would receive would be excellent. We were 100% correct, the care was commendable; the staff were so kind and compassionate. We were kept up to date with all that was happening. When they came to give him medication it was done with care and dignity. Nothing was rushed it was all done in a calm and respectful manner. Several weeks have gone by since Dad's passing, I wanted to make sure that the review I gave was heartfelt and not on the spur of the moment. My views today are the same now as those when Dad passed.

I have enjoyed every moment of my stay. The staff has done everything to make my stay perfect. They felt like family and to be honest I will miss everybody so so much. I would love to stay but have to go home but will be back if all does not go well at home. I wish I could show how grateful I am, but

As soon as my husband was admitted to Sharston House, he was treated with dignity and kindness. The staff assessed his needs and he was allocated a room on the ground floor to ensure his safety. He enjoyed the activities organised for the clients and these seemed to be a very varied range to cater for
the needs of all the clients. When his condition worsened, he was given a room opposite the nurses room. He asked for his door to be constantly open and he was fed appropriately. His end of life care was excellent and I and my family are so grateful he was so well treated.

Very pleased with all the aspects of Mum's care. The staff were helpful at all times and obviously had had conversations as they know a lot of her history, where she lived etc. They were kind enough to wheel her outside for her nightly cigar and a tot of her whisky.

The resident in question had an extremely infected toe, necrotic, which needed a lot of attention. New dressings every other day, pain killers and antibiotics. The worry was the possibility of septicaemia.
Thankfully due to the excellent care of the nursing staff, the local GP and the carers, the toe
is completely healed and the threat of a serious infection has diminished.
Thank you to the team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mother was settled and happy at Sharston House once she got over the shock of Dad’s sudden death and the need for her to go into care.
She liked her room, which was important since she was bedridden.
She enjoyed the food and the home usually managed to adapt it to her needs e.g. pureeing some
things or leaving off a sauce which she did not like.
She was a fussy eater, a creature of habit and her condition could make her cranky so the home did very well in largely managing to accommodate her needs and quirks.
She did establish a deeper relationship with a few of the staff she particularly liked and her overall care was good.
On what I saw and experienced, I would recommend the home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.657) out of 10 for Sharston House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.657 for Sharston House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (142 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 510 Ratings = 4.657

  • b) 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 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
