My husband has settled in very well at Garswood House. His room is large, clean and overlooking the garden. The staff are wonderful with him, each and everyone of them. It's taking a little time for them to get to know his level of need, because he can be deceptive, but I'm certain that this is the
perfect place for him. It's party day today, celebration of David Attenboroughs 100 years with balloons, games and live music. Wonderful.

Our LO has dementia so we chose Garswood House as a place to keep her safe yet still be able to enjoy the things she used to do. Here, the staff are friendly and approachable, who are always willing to listen and act upon any concerns we have regarding out LO. There are always a variety of
activities available for residents to participates in and also a few trips/visits organised. The home feels safe and clean, allowing residents a sense of independence when choosing what they'd like to do during the day ie watch TV, baking, sitting outside. Our LO always says she had enjoyed the meals provided and enjoyed the company of the staff.

Sometimes there have been staff shortages which puts a lot of pressure on the other staff in what is a stressful job anyway!

Mum has been out, I returned her only she had a toilet accident as she was getting out of the car. Oops, the member of staff reassured mum and supported, helped her into the home. Making mum feel more comfortable.

Mum came into Garswood House, despite us not knowing if we were doing the right things. Our worries were deeply unfounded. The first 2 weeks were the most difficult due to mums change of environment. However after the 2 weeks mum is for happier + far more settled than she has been for the last
couple of years. The staff are brilliant and always pleased to see you and are very informant of doctors visits, illness etc. The staff have definitely made mums transition into a care home far easier that possibly expected.

Extremely happy with the care provided for my dad whilst in temporary respite. Staff are extremely caring and helpful in regards to the care they provide and communication. Personally, I don't think we could have found a better place for dad's recuperation. Heart felt thanks to all, from all the
family.

My Mum has been in the care home for over 12 months now, she does seem to have settled but, I'm not happy with the activities, there is not enough going on for the residents. My Mum is constantly complaining that there aren't enough meal options, this has been addressed numerous times. My other
concern is staffing, I, as a visitor, have noticed very minimum staff on shift.

My mother has lived in Garswood House for the past 4 years and during that time my brother and I have been so happy with mum's care. All the staff ar excellent and treat mum with the respect and dignity she so deserves during her dementia journey. I would thoroughly recommend Garswood House to
anyone looking for residential care in the Wigan area.

Everyone at Garswood have been tremendous, its such a happy place and my aunt is so so happy here. All the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble, they're always on hand to help. The activities and entertainment in outstanding as is the families social media page. Even if I'm away I can
always see my aunts smiling face enjoying herself with the staff and other residents. We are so lucky to have found this place for her.

Garswood House care home is a happy home. Very spacious and atmosphere for residents. The staff go way above the provision of care and nursing is ever a problem or too much trouble for them. Very well run by the manager and admin staff and also very approachable and helpful.

All the staff have made mum feel welcome and cared for. She tells all of her visitors how lovely the staff are, how she enjoys the company and the food and that she couldn't be anywhere better. The home provides a warm, welcoming and clean environment. It is reassuring to see how the caring and
hardworking staff look after and interact with the residents. I feel that the home would benefit from a dropped kerb/ramp at the front of the building which would be helpful when taking residents out in a wheelchair. I believe this is being discussed with the landlord.

My dad has been at Garswood House for a few months now, he has settled in nicely with the ongoing support of all the staff and management. The environment is caring and friendly and I always feel welcome when I come to visit. There have been many improvements over the last month from daily
activities and overall aesthetics around the outside of the building.

Mum has been a resident of Garswood House for almost 3 years and is very happy here and it feels like home. In our experience the staff have always treated Mum with the utmost care and affection. When Mum has been unwell they have always acted immediately and in her best interests and contacted the
appropriate health care professionals. The staff are approachable, friendly and professional and we have always been kept fully up to date with Mum's ongoing care. A big thank you from all the family!
