About image
St. Georges Nursing Home is a friendly, family-run nursing home; specialising in Nursing, Dementia Care, Elderly Care and End of Life Care.

Our aim is to provide the residents with a comfortable home and deliver the highest level of care in a dignified and compassionate way. Managed by a team of highly-qualified staff, we consistently try our utmost best to improve our resident's quality of life. We firmly believe that a nursing home is only as good as the staff and great care has
been taken in recruiting highly trained, professional, caring and compassionate staff with minimal to no
use of agency staff.

The Directors, Mr Haria and Sheena Gudhka, are a father and daughter team who jointly run two homes in their portfolio: St Georges Wallasey and St. Georges Wigan. St. Georges Wigan has continued to serve the community for over 30 years.

Our ethos is to care for the residents as if they were our own family and therefore our approach is no ‘one routine fits all’, but rather a more person-centred approach, tailored to an individuals’ needs and concerns.

General Nursing & EMI Nursing

We provide 24/7 nursing care with our own dedicated nursing team. That may, for example, include residents who require intensive rehabilitative care (such as people who have suffered a stroke), residents who require REG feeding, residents with physical disabilities and residents with long-term conditions.

Dementia care

We are registered to provide Dementia Care and have a small friendly EMI Unit with a memory room.

Respite Care & Short Breaks

Everyone deserves time out. Whether you care for a relative or are in need of care yourself, taking a break from your usual routine can do the world of good.

Activities

We have a full-time and part time Activity Coordinator who coordinates both group activities and 1-on-1 sessions for residents who prefer a more personal touch.

End of Life Care

We are working in partnership with Hospice in care home team in Wigan.
