About Ashton Cross
Here at Ashton Cross, we are proud to be a trusted care home serving the communities of Wigan and St. Helens. We provide residential care, support for people living with physical disabilities, and respite care for those who need a short break or temporary stay. Our focus is on making sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely comfortable, respected, and at home. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make. That is why we take the time to get to know each individual properly, understanding their routines, preferences, and what matters most to them in their daily life. Care here is not a one size fits all arrangement. We work closely with residents and their loved ones to make sure support is shaped around the person, not the other way around. Our team genuinely cares about the people they look after. They bring warmth and consistency to their work every day, building real relationships with residents over time. That sense of familiarity and trust makes a meaningful difference, particularly for those who may be adjusting to a new environment or managing the challenges that come with a physical disability. For those considering respite care, we offer a welcoming and supportive environment where people can stay for a shorter period, whether to recover, to give family carers a rest, or simply to try out what life at Ashton Cross looks like before making any longer term decisions. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, and we continue to build on that standard every day. If you would like to find out more or come in for a visit, we would be very happy to welcome you.
