I have found St Edith's to have a warm, friendly happy and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are kind, caring considerate and patient. Management are willing to act, assist and most important, listen. As Mum is still settling in. She hasn't attended activities yet but we hope she will soon, so I cannot comment
on those. I hear laughter and see happy faces in here and it does feel like Mum's home - warm and cosy.

My father enter St Edith's in the respite room after a months stay in hospital after getting stuck in bath. Prior to this he was completely independent at 92 years old. Finding that he now needs assistance with daily tasks has been a shock for him as well as us. The staff who have cared for him have
been wonderful and treated him with respect and dignity. We have now got him there full time in a room of his own and he seems to be slowly settling in. St Edith's came highly recommended by several friends who had relatives there in the past and it has not disappeared.

I am so happy that I found this little gem of a care home. It truly is a caring home from home. I was so worried about using a respite home for my mother-in-law and the staff were so welcoming and reassuring. We had a wonderful initial visit and met residents who were very obviously happy and comfortable
and content. My mother-in-law spent a very happy week with caring staff that couldn't do enough for her and even checked her throughout the nights bringing her tea if she wanted it. She loved the food too! The diamonds in St Edith's are the amazing staff; forever cheerful, helpful, loving and caring, working so hard to ensure the happiness and well-being of the residents. She even joined in with social activities and came home looking like a glamour girl after having her hair done there! Thank you so much to everyone. We appreciate you all.

As soon as you walk through the door of St Edith's Court it feels very welcoming and homely, the staff are very friendly and will always answer any questions, the rooms have excellent facilities with en suite bathrooms and fitted kitchens... Mum has only been here a short while but loves her room and
the fact she gets a choice of foods... she feels safe knowing staff are around all the time. I feel quite happy that Mum is living here ... and that she is receiving excellent care.

My husband has been a resident at St Edith's since April last year. He had a significant stroke in 2020. It was such a difficult decision for him to move to care but we realised I couldn't cope at home any longer.
I feel so lucky to have found St Edith's, I visited many other local care homes. None
compared regarding the accommodation. Each resident has their own bedroom/living space plus an en-suite bathroom and kitchen.
More importantly, there is a calm friendly atmosphere with caring staff in every role. Food is good to boot!
St Edith's appears well managed, responsive to needs and they go above and beyond the basics to mark events as they crop up during the year.
I know he is safe and well cared for and we now have the opportunity to spend quality time together again. Thanks.

Our Mum moved to St Edith's in March, it was a painful realisation for both her and us that she was now in need of full-time care, however, since her arrival, she has received amazing care from the whole team at St Edith's and we are grateful for all that each person does. Our Mum is still struggling
with her change of circumstances but the care and attention and good food that she is getting are helping both her and us, we all sleep better at night knowing that she is not alone and she knows too that she is being looked after and at the same time, keeps a level of independence - for example, it is always her decision as to when and what she eats, and when she goes to bed etc. It is amazing the work that each member of staff does and when I visit my Mum or when I speak to her on the phone, I know that each person she interacts with does so with professionalism, good grace and good humour.

We knew Mum was struggling to live at home on her own but felt very nervous about mentioning a care home to her. When a room became available, we brought her to St Edith's to have a look around and she was completely sold on it! Everyone you bump into around the home is so kind, supportive and really
caring. It's clear that all employees are happy and that makes the fantastic atmosphere. Mum immediately joined in the activities and spends time in the lounge with other residents. I really needn't have worried - St Edith's Court is an amazing place and we are lucky to have our Mum looked after there.

My mother entered St Edith's after falling at home, breaking her femur, three weeks ago. She was very familiar with St Edith's over the years visiting friends. She always said that if she ended up in a care home, it had to be St Edith's. I can now see why. She has been so well cared for and already
feels part of the St Edith's family. The staff are caring, happy, very patient and treat her with dignity. She loves the food and has already joined other residents in the lovely bistro.

Beware of the parking. Don't believe you have registered your car when you sign in. There is a separate sign in for parking. My car was being incorrectly identified, if this happens take a photo because the fine arrives 4 months later. Tried to get help from the home but everyone is too busy doing the
job they should. No complaints about the care given to my Mum but the parking is a scam!

Reply from Kerry Endicott, Manager at St Edith's Court

Thank you for reviewing St Edith's Court and we appreciate your feedback. We had a new parking system installed in October 2024. The car park has visible signage installed within it, we also have signage on our front door and in the lobby area reminding people to register their car. We experienced some teething issues in the first few weeks of instalment. We have however managed to get fines cancelled for all who made me aware. I have changed the entry system for our home, so a colleague answers the door for everyone and reminds everyone to register their car. An email was sent to residents' main contact informing them of the new parking regulations and asking them to inform all their families and friends prior to cameras going live. I had a meeting with the car park management company this week to discuss any issues and suggest changes to help visitors to remember to register their car. I would advise anyone who has concerns to bring them to me and I will try to resolve the issue.

My friend is being incredibly well cared for after her debilitating stroke. Her accommodation is excellent, with her own kitchen and bathroom. The food is great, and nothing is too much trouble. Sadly, her condition needs constant attention, which the staff are happy to give. She couldn't be in a better

My mother-in-law has been at St Edith’s for nearly a year now. At 96, she was finding independent living difficult but was very reluctant to leave her own property.
Once at St Edith’s, she was allowed to settle at her own pace, and within a short time, her health and general demeanour had greatly improved.
She now seems happier and more fulfilled than she has in years and is enjoying both the care and company the home provides.
The overall atmosphere is friendly, happy and respectful, and all the staff genuinely seem to care for the residents and are readily available for any questions or reassurance we need.
It has given us the peace of mind that our mum is in a safe, secure environment where she is happy and well cared for.

I’m very impressed with this lovely care home and how my friend is being looked after. There’s just a lovely, happy atmosphere and the staff seem to genuinely care about the residents. It’s clean, with comfortable lounges, a bistro/coffee shop and a light and airy dining room which looks out onto the
garden. The food is good and I’ve enjoyed lunch there with my friend. There are various activities too. Well done to all concerned in making St Edith’s Court a very nice place to live. It’s wonderful for my friend’s family to see how settled and happy she is.

St Edith's Court was recommended to us by a Community Health Care Professional. Six months ago Mum had a severe stroke, leaving her with left side paralysis and exhaustion. Mum needed carers four times a day at home. Being widowed, the decision was made to move mum into St Edith's. The emotional improvement
in Mum in a short time is noticeable. Mum now has a sense of community, her dignity restored and a quality of life! The rooms are like mini flats, ideal for independence. The staff are super friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is homely, the food in Mum's words is 'fresh and wholesome' and she really appreciates the linen tablecloths! After what has been some dark days, I thank St Edith's management, carers and staff for taking such great care of our beloved mum, and supporting us as a family unit. No regrets. Thank you team St Edith's.

My mother has Parkinson’s disease and found that living independently was becoming more of a challenge.
We looked at several homes before choosing St Edith’s - but once we had visited St Edith’s, she was confident that this was the home for her.
She enjoys the independence of her own flat but knows
that help is always at hand with personal care. The staff at St Edith’s are very caring, and I am happy that she is safe and well looked after.

My grandmother-in-law requires fluid thickener in all drinks. This is administered by carers, but also left out, where it can be added to drinks by visitors. However, there were no instructions on the labels of the thickener and no IDDSI guidance on display, leading to us making drinks far too thickly
for her.
I passed my concerns on to one of the care assistants and to the team leader, but rather than being met with a positive response to my request that the IDDSI framework is displayed on the wall, I was told that this would merely be “passed to management”.
I understand the pressures of the home fully, but I also understand that concerns need to be swiftly addressed and followed up.

Reply from Kerry Endicott, Home Manager at St Edith's Court

Thank you for taking the time to review St Edith Court. Your feedback is extremely important to us. We are disappointed to hear that you feel we did not meet the high standards of care we strive to provide on this occasion. We have taken swift and appropriate action to rectify the IDDSI information at St Edith’s Court. If you wish to discuss this further, we operate an open-door policy and I am happy to do so at a mutually convenient time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for St Edith's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.738 for St Edith's Court is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.738

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Edith's Court is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
