I am very happy with the care that my dad is receiving at St Edith's Court. It is a friendly community, and he gets on well with staff and other residents. There are plenty of activities, and his quality of life is a lot better than when he was living on his own at home.

My mother has been a resident for three years, and I have not had any cause for complaint during that time. All members of staff have been very helpful, cooperative and friendly. My mother is always very complimentary about the home, despite the onset of dementia.

St Edith's provides excellent care for my mum, and she, herself, says she 'couldn't be in a better place'. The staff are all very kind and professional. Mum enjoys the activities, and the food, and is glad to be somewhere she feels safe and has people around her to help if needed. Today the staff enabled
mum to video call me and it was lovely to be able to see her, to reassure her that all her family are well. Thank you so much to all the staff who are working so hard at these difficult times to keep all the residents safe and well.

Just wanted to express my thanks for the tireless work of the staff at St Edith's. They continue to be cheerful and doing a fantastic job of looking after my Mum at this very stressful time for staff and residents in care homes. We are very grateful for all they are doing to protect her and themselves.

This home is outstanding. My mother is in her 103rd year and has been at St Edith's for three years. She would not have survived without there care and attention. All the staff at St Edith's are exceptional, and they have certainly made my life a lot easier by giving me peace of mind in respect of my
mother is in safe hands, especially at this very trying times.
A big thank you, and please stay safe.

Since a very bad fall, our father required 24-hour care and has been resident at St Edith’s for the past 9-months. Cannot praise the care or staff enough for looking after him. A very nice, clean and friendly environment, and glad we chose St Edith’s, as Dad is very happy and content with the attention
he receives.

Our family is very happy with St Edith's Court. We looked at eight other residential homes and were extremely alarmed at many. We were recommended and visited this home and were instantly impressed. We knew immediately this was the one and felt the different vibe and genuine feeling of care. Let's face
it - this is what we really all want.
My mother went into the respite room until her lovely garden view room became available, and she's never looked back. We had difficulty convincing her at first and we had great problems ourselves with our feelings, but happy to report this has all subsided and would recommend St Edith's Court to anyone facing the same dilemma.

My mother moved into St Edith's Court eight months ago when an acute deterioration in her health made it impossible for her to care for herself. Having been very independent all her life it came as a shock to her to move into a home. All the staff were very kind and extremely patient with her and she
settled down quickly. She now says that she would not want to live anywhere else.


My mother has made new friends in the home and loves joining in all the organised activities, which are varied and stimulating. I am particularly impressed with the dining facilities and the quality of the food. The home and the rooms are kept very clean and in good repair.
The care staff and management are always very approachable and keen to help.
I would highly recommend St Edith's Court.

My Mother is a resident here and she is very happy despite being a complainer. In fact, she never wants to leave the home. She has made friends with residents and carers alike. I always find the staff very friendly and helpful. The gardens are lovely a peaceful and restful spot.
If you are lucky enough
to have your Mum or Dad to live here you’ll be happy as well.

When my Mum reached the age of 101, it became clear to the family that the time had come where she could no longer look after herself and she didn't want to be left alone. We started to look into care homes in the area and visited a number, some of which we found to be very questionable. Our cousin
recommended that we give St Edith's Court a visit as she knew a resident there and said how she was very happy there. We made an appointment and met the manager, she showed us around and we immediately felt that this was ideal for our Mum to spend the rest of her life. At the time there was no room vacant apart from the respite room so we moved Mum in while they were decorating and carpeting her own room. Mum has now settled in after 5 months and we, as a family, know that she is safe and extremely well looked after and cared for by the excellent staff. We would highly recommend that if you are currently in the same situation you contact St Edith's in Leigh on Sea.

My sister moved into St Edith's Court just over a year ago, understandably a little apprehensive but didn't take her long to settle in, everybody was kind and considerate nothing was too much trouble. I feel sure my sister wouldn't want to live anywhere else as she likes to join in with everything going
on within the home. Not long after she moved in, my mum joined St Edith's Court who was adamant she wasn't going into a home but, unfortunately, she could no longer care for herself. She soon settled and loved it even saying to me she wished she had done it sooner. Mum didn't have long at St Edith's Court, unfortunately, she passed away at the age of 90, but I couldn't fault the care she received, equally the same for my sister, she loves it

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Our Mum passed away in April 2018. Despite being extremely busy, the staff cared for her extraordinarily well, meeting even her intimate needs with a smile and a light heart.


They appreciated who she was as a person; a lady who loved a laugh and they treated her accordingly, having a giggle with

her whilst still being respectful and preserving her dignity, which demonstrated not only their empathy but also their skill at recognising her needs at that time.


We understand that caring isn't the most glamorous or well-paid job, we did our research and saw first hand what bad care and slovenly staff looked like in other care homes.


However, the carers at St Edith's never acted like that, we could tell they wanted to be there and it was clear they loved doing what they were doing.


We would recommend St Ediths to anyone, whether suffering from dementia, or, as was in my Mum's case, just physically not able stay in their own home any longer.

We find the staff very friendly and caring. Always prepared to help and give the best support.
Food is very good and all residents seem very comfortable. The resident's rooms are very clean and the home is always in great condition.
We thoroughly recommend St Edith's for any elderly people needing
care and the ultimate in home comforts. Plenty of activities and entertainment.
Always updating the resident care plans.

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.
