Overall Experience

The whole team at St George's were fantastic from the moment Mum entered the home . The care and attention she was shown was fantastic . The respect she was shown through to her end of life was amazing . They also helped us a family with their compassion and understanding . The media bombards us with

horror stories of nursing and care homes , there was never one moment when we came away after visiting Mum that gave us cause for concern , in fact the exact opposite , we knew she was safe and comfortable. Thank you and well done to all

Reply from Sally Morgan, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home Witham

Thank you to you and your family for all the support you gave to St George's care team. You enabled the team to show their true compassion, and we will always think of mum with fondness and affection.

Overall Experience

The staff on Hedgehog treat mum with respect and dignity. Mum is very elderly, far older than most of us will ever aspire to. She has vascular dementia alongside other health conditions including ovarian cancer. Mum can be very difficult at times, demanding her own way and very stubborn - but staff

understand and manage this well to keep her safe. She is very frail and hardly eats but the staff try very hard to encourage and cook and offer alternatives even though she then declines those too.

Staff keep me informed through the App and call if there is something more serious. They always welcome me when I arrive- both in the unit and reception. Staff are clearly concerned for her ongoing welfare and personal wishes whatever they may be at the time. They apply principles of best wishes as necessary. As a result mum does feel loved and I am happy that she is in a secure and caring environment. Our family views are endorsed by mum's latest LA Deprivation of Liberty and BIA reports.

Overall Experience

My mother came a few years ago under the previous owners- first impressions were that the home was shabby but it had a lovely feel, glad I went with my instincts.
We now have new owners, things have gone upwards since. The improvements and refurbishment are fantastic - it has the same lovely feel

but is now also smart and impressive.
My mother has all her faculties, and the staff have become her every day family - she isn't one to mix, but she enjoys conversing with the staff, and the younger ones open her eyes to how different the world is today than when she was their age! It's a good exchange as she can tell them about life when she was younger.
My father was in another home and he died recently, it was hard for Mum but the staff have been brilliant. It helped me knowing I wasn't leaving her in a house trying cope alone, she has lots of care and support around her 24/7.
The manager is an excellent manager, I can talk to her about anything and she deals with things promptly.

Reply from Sally Morgan, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home Witham

Thank you for your very kind and supportive words. You have given the staff the gratification which drives their compassion and care and I will proudly share with them all.

Overall Experience

My family and I can't thank all the staff enough for their kindness and care of our mum, nan and great grandmother, who sadly passed away on 18th January 2025.
From the day mum became a resident to her final hours she was given the best care possible and for that, all her family will be forever grateful.
She

could be a handful at time's but nothing was too much and they showed her such kindness.
And a special thank you to the manager for all your help and guidance, when we were stuck.
If your thinking about placing a family member here, they will be in good hands, so don't worry.

Reply from Sally Morgan, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home Witham

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a supportive family towards the staff. I am so glad that you came to us and stayed for the journey. We all felt a part of mum's life and it was an honour to be with you all at the end. I will share your thoughts with the staff.

Overall Experience

My dad is currently receiving end-of-life care following his admission with Alzheimer's roughly five months ago. The care and nursing he has received have been second to none, not to mention the care we have all received as a family whilst staying with dad in his final days and hours. The management

and staff have gotten everything right with their approach and attention to detail. Thank you all so, so much.

Overall Experience

The team at St Georges was excellent in looking after my Dad, who was receiving end-of-life care. Everyone was caring, compassionate, and understanding, and the facilities at the home are modern, well-looked-after, and clean.
The food and service from what I saw on my visits looked good, and the staff

worked really hard to attend to resident's needs, despite often challenging situations.
They could not have been kinder and more caring, dealing with a very difficult situation sensitively and providing me with honest communication throughout.
To all the wonderful staff at St Georges - thank you.

Reply from Sally Morgan, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home Witham

Thank you for your very gratifying words to all our staff. I will share with them in full as they are very proud and passionate about the role they play in caring for people at the end of their lives and supporting families. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of Foxburrow Grange. The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure that the residents feel comfortable and well-cared for. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with warmth and genuine kindness from everyone. The atmosphere is

always positive and uplifting, creating a lovely and welcoming environment for the residents. It's clear that the well-being and happiness of the residents are a top priority here. In addition to the excellent care, the food is good! They offer a great variety of nutritious and tasty meals, which my husband always enjoys.
I have peace of mind knowing my husband is in such good hands at Foxburrow Grange. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.

Overall Experience

My mother was transferred to St George's for end-of-life care. This is obviously a very difficult time for any family. My mother was treated with the greatest of care and respect by all staff and even in the last few days when she was unconscious, the staff continued to talk to her and explain what

they were going to do. My father was permitted to stay with her in her room and for the last few days, he never left her side, ensuring that he was with her at the end. The staff also looked after my father well and ensured that he was fed, cared for and he was treated with respect.
The home has recently been renovated and is a very pleasant place to be. The food was excellent. Sadly my mother refused food and drink, but this did not stop staff from constantly trying with her but never forcing her against her will.
We will always be thankful to all the staff for the care and dignity given to my mother at the end and for the time that we were able to spend with her in a peaceful setting.

Reply from Sally Morgan, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home Witham

We are so grateful for your heart warming comments made about our home and care. They mean a great deal to us and I will share them with our team. Best wishes to you and your family.

Overall Experience

My mother has been with Foxburrow for over 12 months - the 3rd she has been in. Today I messaged them. I see so many articles on social media from families that are struggling with care homes that don't care, evict loved ones for occasional challenging behaviour, send people to hospitals and then aren't

allowed back and are constantly arguing with Managers and Carers.

I count myself very lucky that I have had so much support from Foxburrow - laundry when she was hiding and stealing clothes, maintenance when she was flushing everything down the toilet, all when she was constantly escaping, all with her challenging behaviour. The nurses with medication and the night shift with mum's antics. The support I have had is outstanding and every time I see another story from it reminds me how lucky I am. It's hard to convey to everyone how much they are all appreciated so please pass on my thanks. Don't go on CQC reports alone - Please go and view the home and meet the teams.

Reply from Abhilash Gopi, Home Manager at Foxburrow Grange Care Home

Thank you for your valuable feedback and support, we will continue to provide the best for our service users. We will pass this feedback on to the staff who look after your mum and I am sure they will be very pleased.

My mum stayed in St George's for just under two weeks for end-of-life care. Mum was very happy with her room and facilities. The staff were very kind, caring and compassionate. They treated her with respect and gave her dignity. We, as a family, can not fault this care home and they were always great

with Mum and also us as a family. It was very clean and, although Mum wasn't able to eat the food, it always looked lovely.

From the moment I walked into St George's, the staff were wonderful, not only looking after my husband, but taking care of me too! St George's is the most loving, caring place I have ever been in. Because of all the love and care to my husband, and to me and our family, it made saying 'goodbye' much

easier. So, thank you St George's for being so wonderful and caring to my husband. Thank you to you all for your calm, gentle way to make my husband be at peace.

My husband had his 91st birthday and we took him to a friend's house (very near) to have lunch. We all had a very happy time but when we arrived back it was even better! His room had been decorated with balloons and photos of him enjoying some of the activities which are always on offer. Everyone was

wishing him a happy birthday when a young man came in with the most beautiful cake which the chef had made for him. That was really the icing on the cake! I can't praise all the staff enough for going well over what should be their job to ensure that the residents feel cared for and happy.

It was an extremely difficult decision to place our mother in a nursing home, but we knew it was the right thing to do. From our very first contact, we found the staff at St George's to be caring and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble. I have had the experience with multiple care homes,

and I feel the care at St George's outshines them all. Our mother was only in a few days, but they treated her with respect and compassion. The aftercare was amazing too; the staff took the time to talk to us and check in on us. I can't rate them highly enough.
