Does Shawcross Care Home provide dementia support?
Yes. Its care team helps people living with dementia settle into their new home and provides the support they need.
How much does Shawcross Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Shawcross Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wigan council paid on average £1,034 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
