Meet The Manager
Chloe Johnson is Manager at Shaw House Care Home.
I began my career in the care sector in 2009, driven by a genuine passion for providing compassionate, person-centred care. Through commitment, hard work, and ongoing professional development, I progressed into the role of Senior Care Assistant, gaining valuable experience in both care delivery and team leadership.
I am passionate about supporting, mentoring, and training my team to help them grow professionally, while also ensuring our residents receive safe, high-quality care in a warm and supportive environment. I take great pride in leading by example and fostering a positive, well-supported team culture.
Throughout my time at Shaw House, I have been extremely grateful for the ongoing support and guidance provided by Bloomcare, which has enabled me to excel in my role and continue delivering the best possible care to our residents.
Shaw House is a welcoming care home in the peaceful Shaw suburb of Oldham. Our purpose-built home provides specialist dementia, residential and nursing care, as well as support for palliative, convalescence and respite needs.
Guided by Christian values and respect for cultural diversity, our care plans are tailored to each individual. We focus on enhancing quality of life, supporting independence, dignity and well-being. Care at Miller House celebrates each resident’s unique gifts and lifestyle, marking a new chapter in life rather than an end.

The village is comprised of 5 purpose-built houses designed to offer the best in specialist dementia, residential and nursing care. The interior is designed with the needs of dementia care in mind and is also perfect for handling more general residential requirements such as palliative, convalescence, and respite provision. The beauty is echoed outside where our wonderful, landscaped gardens provide a haven to the native wildlife with mature trees and raised flowerbeds. Our residents love spending time either out in the garden, or simply enjoying the views from the summer house. We like to keep residents involved in the day-to-day social aspects of the community, but we also provide beautiful bedrooms and a spacious shared lounge area to relax in. |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
We run a weekly programme of events, which includes everything from talks and demonstrations from local talent to the singing and dancing of our local performers. Our home is a central part of the community, which is reflected by the regular visits we get from local volunteers. They’ll often drop by just for a chat and cup of tea with our residents. We’ve worked hard to formulate a year-long programme of hobbies including everything from baking, writing, gardening and dancing, to painting, quizzing or even chess competitions. But not everything needs to be about excitement. We understand that for many people, simple daily tasks like a morning walk, or taking the chance to feed the birds, lay the table or even distribute post, is where they find their enjoyment. And of course, we want to ensure that our residents who value time to themselves are able to indulge in some quality me time. Our personalised activities are based around your preferences and we want to work with you to create the perfect bespoke activity plan. |
