St Mary's Care Home

from D P (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 26 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care our mum received during her final days. Staff went above & beyond, not only in looking after her with compassion & dignity but also in supporting our entire family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they ensured we had everything we needed. From
the care staff to housekeeping and catering, everyone worked tirelessly to provide comfort, kindness, and space for us to grieve as a family. We cannot fault the service & truly appreciate the dedication of everyone involved. Our mum always spoke about how happy she was at St Mary's and how lovely everyone was. Thank you for everything you did for our mum, forever grateful.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at St Mary's Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear words like "Compassion" and "Dignity" being used to describe our care. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

From the first meeting to the moment we left, the staff at St Mary's were nothing short of exceptional. Residents, family and friends were incredibly well cared for and as a family, we could not have asked for any more. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Mary's to anyone. My mother felt safe,
well cared for in the time she spent in their care.

My mum has only been in this care home for 2 weeks and so far staff have been lovely. So very supportive, kind and so friendly. What a lovely team. It's nice and clean and I feel content knowing we picked this care home for my mum. The garden is lovely and a big shout-out to one staff member in particular
who makes us feel less nervous and more at ease when were visiting our mum.

The first day my grandmother entered St Mary's Care Home, the staff were there at the entrance to greet us with smiles on their faces. The staff are all so friendly, especially one member of staff who has been so supportive and understanding the process my grandmother and family are going through. St
Mary's has shown great effort to make it feel at home for service users and visitors. It has exceeded my expectations.

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at St Mary's Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that you can feel at ease with your Grandmother in our care and it is lovely to hear that you feel like a part of our St Mary's family.

Nothing was too much trouble. The whole family were made to feel welcome on visits.
The food was good; the activities are great and the response to queries was good.

We were met at the door. The nurse was very warm and friendly. We were shown around the facilities and introduced to the staff, all of which were very helpful. They show great compassion and a very high level of care to everyone. We were encouraged to use all the facilities in the home including an
excellent day room. The care and understanding of the staff truly touched my heart. This is an outstanding care home with excellent staff. Five stars.

St Mary's Care Home is the best home. I enjoyed my two-week stay, and love this place. The staff are amazing, fantastic and very caring and kind staff. I would like to nominate a particular nurse for a care award. She is lovely and very kind. I am sure the home is very lucky to have her.

The staff are all excellent, they go above and beyond. The building is very clean and very homely. Each resident has their own room, ensuite and furniture, a TV and are kept very comfortable.
Family and friends are also made welcome and treated with kindness and respect. The best care I have experienced.
Entertainment is also very good.

My mum has been in St Mary's since July. The team have been very caring and supportive. They have built a close relationship with Mum and the family. Our worries and concerns are listened to and addressed. The home is very family orientated and has provided activities for the children as they navigate
this difficult time, this has been helpful when visiting for long periods of time during the school holidays, making things stressful, meaning I can bewith Mum and the children. St Mary's is a home from home and the staff are extended family.

Two weeks ago I accompanied residents to a day out organised by the care home. One resident became sick so the accompanying nurse reassured and calmed him down and gave him medication to treat his illness. I witnessed the nurse go out of the way to do this task with a smile and poise so as not to belittle
the resident who soon felt better. All residents enjoyed their outing and returned back to St Mary's after. A wonderful day out. Well done to the nurse for looking after the resident mentioned above.

The food is adequate, but very little choice for vegetarians. The ability to choose or specify preference in advance of the meal would be appreciated.
