If you are seeking nursing care, don’t waste time looking any further - come and see St Mary’s; you will have a friendly welcome all around.
Thank you, Linda, for such a positive review. I will ensure this is shared with the unit; this boosts morale and allows us to see what we do well and how we can improve - they are important to us. I am pleased that you have finally found a home where you feel you support your mum in the manner she should.
Would highly recommend it to families in the same situation as ourselves. Listening to other people talking about their experiences from elsewhere, we definitely got the best care possible for our family members. The staff are a credit to the home, who have done nothing but the best, and we were...
Would highly recommend it to families in the same situation as ourselves. Listening to other people talking about their experiences from elsewhere, we definitely got the best care possible for our family members. The staff are a credit to the home, who have done nothing but the best, and we were made to feel like family and not just someone visiting. They constantly talked about us as a family to ensure memories were never forgotten. Even though a purred diet was needed, it was still presented to look like a normal meal, which didn’t make it feel as though he was singled out. All we can say is very, very highly recommended, and thanks to all the staff, past and present, for everything they did for not just the resident but us as a family too.
Thank you so much for a 5-star review, so glad you were happy with the staff and care provided, this will be shared with the team as it is such a positive for us!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am pleased that you are both having a good experience, one which we should expect.

The care home is a very clean space and very welcoming for both residents and relatives.
Thank you so much for the kind comments; it is nice to know that you feel you and your relative have had a nice experience of care. It is also great to know that music therapy has been successful and enjoyed by a service user.

My mother-in-law, who previously lived in another care home, which we felt as a family wasn't meeting her needs, was reviewed and excepted by a nurse in the Forshaw unit. We, as a family, were happy and weren't disappointed. In a short amount of time, we noticed a huge difference in not only her appearance, but also her general mood was lifted, and she was smiling and laughing again. Her needs were met, and we, as a family, were listened to.
Thank you for your review; it was good to see a noticeable improvement and that the family were happy with this.
Great service. Very caring staff. Would recommend St Mary's care home to anyone looking for a friendly, safe place for loved ones.

Much appreciated review, we will share with the staff team. Thank you!
My wife has needed specialist care for her complex needs. She was in another care centre previously, and it was awful for her and me. We have now found a caring and compassionate team that really looks after my wife as a person. They took some time to get to know her, and they encouraged me to...
Thank you all.

Thank you for an honest review, we will share this with staff too.
You are all really friendly and very helpful all the time. You have looked after my husband really well, and you all do an excellent job, especially over the last two years with all that has gone on with Covid.

Thank you for your review, Linda; Covid was a difficult time, but we managed it as best as we could! Thank you for your comments; these will be shared.
My dad was placed here on end of life. I felt completely happy with the knowledge that he was in safe hands. All the nurses and carers had time for him; they really are a great team! I would not hesitate to recommend the home.

Thank you for your kind words and review of our home/team. Thank you for placing your Dad with us.
My nan was accepted by St Mary’s after being previously cared for by another care home, which we felt wasn’t meeting the basic standards of care, and as a family, heard about the excellent reputation of St Mary’s, so we were delighted by the move and wasn’t disappointed. Within weeks, we felt like...
Activities that were available for her to do were excellent, vast variety to do to suit everyone’s needs. Bingo, beauty afternoons and days out.
Thank you so much for your review, Kimberley; your nan was a lovely character on Forshaw Unit and very much missed. I will pass your positive feedback and comments on to our staff team!
My mother has been in the care home for some time but has recently been supported with music therapy, and it has been so lovely to see her mood change. The nurses and care staff are so inviting and caring. I am also able to visit when I want, which is important to me and my mother.

We are always made welcome when we come to visit, and the place is always spotlessly clean, and the resident's rooms are always nice.

What a lovely review; thank you so much for taking the time. This helps other potential service users and their families when looking for a good home.
I feel safe here. I am not bossed around, and I like the food and that I can go shopping all the time.

So pleased Mum is able to live in such a happy, cheerful and caring environment on Forshaw Unit. She settled in so quickly, which is only thanks to a fully supportive and dedicated team of carers, who made her feel so settled and welcome, treating her with respect, and above all, dignity. As we visit, we are welcomed into this happy environment, given fully up to date information on Mum's welfare, made to feel welcome. Though lockdown conditions, staff have been fully supportive of us ringing to check on Mum's welfare, nothing seems too much trouble for the wonderful staff on Forshaw Unit. We honestly couldn't wish for a nicer place for Mum to stay. Thank you so much to your amazingly cheerful team.
Thank you so much for a heartwarming review. This shows us that our staff are caring and supportive and that your Mum is receiving the care we would expect and that your Mum and all deserve. Many thanks, and I will ensure your review is passed to the unit.
My dad had been in St Mary's Fern Unit for 7-years. In that time, I have found the home accommodating, and even though my dad had challenging behaviour, they coped very well. They involved me in all meetings in regard to my dad. It's like a lovely family, especially two particular members of staff...
My dad had been in St Mary's Fern Unit for 7-years. In that time, I have found the home accommodating, and even though my dad had challenging behaviour, they coped very well. They involved me in all meetings in regard to my dad. It's like a lovely family, especially two particular members of staff amongst others that looked after my dad. Well done, Fern Unit!
Thank you for such a lovely, honest review, this, I'm sure, will help other families when looking for the right care home for their loved ones too. Your Dad is sorely missed, and your comments will be passed on to the staff team.
I visit every day, I think the staff are very good and efficient in not letting anyone in without the test (LFT).

From the age of 15 Deborah (Debbie) knew she wanted to be a Nurse when her own Mum became Mentally ill and required admission to a mental health hospital. Despite her age, she became very aware on visiting her Mum that the care in the hospital was not person centred or caring.Eventually as her young family grew, she stepped away from management and worked nights as a Nurse at St Marys Care Centre, later becoming the Lead Nurse. As her children became older, she applied to be the Deputy Manager and then the Manager at St Marys Care Centre. Deborah has been the Manager at St Marys Care Centre since 2014. During this time the home has recruited an Art Therapist and a Music Therapist to compliment the homes Multi-Disciplinary Team.
Outside of work, Debbie lives in Warrington, has three sons and has been married for 30 years. She loves nothing more than spending time with her family, family holidays, walking and following Manchester City football team.

Paula wanted to be a Nurse as a young girl. She regularly visited an elderly lady in Peasley Cross Hospital with her daughter, a neighbour of hers.
Paula began her training at 19 years of age in Warrington General Hospital, qualifying in 1987, working with the elderly until she went to work at St Helens Hospital, which was closer to home.
At St Helens Hospital, Paula worked days on medical, rheumatology and later the stroke rehabilitation unit.
She also worked at Whiston Hospital on ENT and general medicine.
Following this, she began a family and had 2 boys. She continued to work on night duty for a further seven years before leaving to work in the private sector.
Paula worked in Care Homes in both general and EMI as a Nurse and Deputy Manager. She relocated for 5 years with her family to Bognor Regis, where she worked as a Deputy Manager, returning to St Helens in 2015, where she joined the team at St Mary's Care Centre as Lead Nurse on Forshaw Unit. Paula enjoys her role here as Deputy Manager.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, cooking travelling and gardening.

My working...
I have now been practicing as a learning disability nurse for a number of years and my enthusiasm and passion for the job has not wavered.My working career prior to nursing spans 25 years working in a variety of roles with children of all ages and abilities. From private nurseries, mainstream schools both here in the UK and military schools overseas, to a season as a Pontins Blue Coat!
I have recently gone back to doing what I am best at which I believe is being a nurse. I recently began a lead role in a nursing home in Burtonwood, Warrington. Running a small Acquired Brain Injury unit. Lots to do but a challenge I am up to doing. My vast knowledge base and transferable skill set will stand me in good stead am sure.
Previous roles include deputy manager and the manager but not for me! At a home in Preston. A challenge as the service was in transition. Service was for some very elderly, vulnerable individuals. With complex health needs. During my time there I was instrumental in making great headway and steering the service through some difficult times, and it has now just received a Good rating from CQC. Proud to have been part of its success.
I have a keen interest in keeping up to date with relevant news and issues within learning disability nursing, primarily through social media. I am part of an award-winning team. The primary role of the site is to offer guidance and advice from various sources to both qualified and student nurses. This is achieved via blogs, podcasts and film interviews and various other modes of media.2016 - 2016
