  • St Mark's Care Home, Maidenhead
St Mark’s, rated ‘outstanding’ in March 2019, is a purpose-built home welcoming adults in need of nursing, residential, dementia or palliative care. The home also offers short stays for those who are looking for a little respite or convalescence care.

The home is split into four areas, made up of three nursing floors and a dedicated dementia area which is pleasant and modern, each with dining rooms and lounges.

A secure garden ensures that residents can make the most of good weather, too.

Residents are welcome to relax in any part of the home and can enjoy a little pampering in the hair salon, catch up with family over a drink in the bar or read a book in one of the quiet lounges.

The activity rooms are where residents can get creative, and there is a reminiscence room for rediscovering memories. There is a good-sized garden for anyone who wants to take a stroll and an enclosed sensory garden which is great for residents living with dementia.

Meals are made using fresh ingredients and residents can choose to eat in privacy or in dining rooms that overlook the gardens. Mid-morning hot drinks and homemade cake is also available.

Residents’ voices are woven into everything the home does, thanks to the resident and relative committee.

Residents can still do existing hobbies here and are welcome to suggest something different to try, as a group or on their own. Many activities are organised for mental and physical stimulation, including musical afternoons, arts and crafts and bingo. Movie afternoons are popular and there is a mobile library.

From my very first visit to view the home, to the moving my mum in and the transition after 4 weeks in hospital, the Windsor Suite staff have supported both my mum and myself through this difficult time.
The staff are not only kind and caring, but bring lots of experience and knowledge to their roles.
Every time I visit I am very pleased with the care being given to Mum and all the other residents in this specialised unit. I am able to leave each visit knowing that she is being well cared for and this reduces my worry. The wonderful staff are friendly and caring with lots of smiles. Thank you all.

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

Arrival yesterday was great as my stepdad was very worried but was relaxed when all the staff and management were so caring to him. This is our second time we have had to choose a care home and we were so pleased with the way my stepmother was treated at St Mark's we knew this was the place for my stepdad.
She was there with St Mark's for 18 months, it took time but she was so happy with all the care and love they shared so we did not look for another home, St Mark's was the best place for my stepdad.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at St Mark's Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are happy to hear that the staff at St Mark's care home did everything they could to make that transition as easy as possible for your family on both occasions. We hope to continue providing your stepdad with the best possible care.

My Mother has been a resident of St Mark’s Care Home for over a year. She transferred over from another care home where sadly she had been confined to her bedroom for three years. The change in her whole demeanour is startling. The amazing caregivers ensure she is assisted out of bed every day, washed,
fed and entertained. She has gone from being consistently aggressive to a calm, happy lady. She always smells amazing and gives me a bright smile when I visit. I’ll always be eternally grateful to the core carers based in the Windsor Unit, as their dedication to duty and sheer professionalism is outstanding. They always warmly greet me and go out of their way to make my visit comfortable. I’m no longer so anxious as I know she is safe, comfortable and extremely well cared for. Overall, I thoroughly recommend St Mark’s Care Home.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at St Mark's Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is really wonderful hearing words such as "amazing caregivers" and "outstanding" being used to describe the dedication and care the staff provide at St Mark's, and we are really pleased to have improved her quality of life so much. It's lovely to know you can now feel at ease knowing your mum is receiving the best possible care, and we will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

My father came into St Mark's in October 2023 after a fall at home and some time in hospital. He has slowly declined because of his fall, and as a family, we cannot thank the staff enough for their caring and empathetic way in which they care for him.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. We hope to continue providing your father with the best possible care.

I can't praise the caring staff at St Mark's enough. They were caring, thoughtful and professional at all times. Dad was there until he sadly passed away in December, and the two weeks he was in hospital, the staff telephoned the hospital each day to see how he was. He was always clean and neatly dressed
and was very happy there. He could join in the activities he wanted to participate in or do his jigsaw puzzles in the comfort of the lounge, listening to his favourite music. It was a great worry off my mind knowing he was being cared for so well, and if any issues, they contacted me immediately. Also, they were very quick to call in the doctor when needed. He enjoyed being in the garden there, and on numerous occasions, I was present during the activities, both inside and outside. I was very pleased that I chose St Mark's Care Home for Dad to spend his last months as he couldn't be at home.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at St Mark's Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are sorry for your loss, and we are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time.

Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your dad received the best possible care, and we are glad that you feel St Mark's was the perfect place for his stay for the care he needed.

My mother was a resident at St Mark's throughout COVID and the home had a very tough time. It has now come out the other end and my mother's unit has an established team of staff who always appear happy and caring in their jobs.

The experience is heavily influenced by the staff doing the caring. The majority are exceptionally pleasant and supportive; however, there is a minority who are not so friendly. Issues do get addressed, but only after being persistent and following them through.

We removed our father within 4 weeks of admission.
The Outstanding CQC Report is belying.
Within 10 days of admission, my father sustained a “sweat sore”. He was admitted with unblemished skin.
The home operates “One Size Fits All”. There is no person-centred care. Family input was met with
animosity. Management was hostile.
Two DoLs assessments were instigated secretly depriving my father of his right to have someone important to him, present.
He was deprived use of his wheelchair. After 10 days of isolation, he suffered delusions. 1:1 activities were refused.
Equality and Diversity training is necessary. My mother is profoundly deaf and struggles to walk. They treated her appallingly.
We were berated by a carer “your father always wants the toilet when family visit at supper time”. On one occasion he waited an hour plus. At home, his carers visited at 4.30 pm.
After notifying the Manager that we were removing my father his response "you have to pay".

My mother was a resident of St Mark's Care Home for just over two years until she passed away just a few weeks ago. The love, care and kindness that all the teams of nurses, care, support and admin staff gave to my mum and to us as a family throughout all her stay at the home was amazing. These are
the most incredible and dedicated people who give everything and more to make each day count for every single resident. This was exemplified even more during the pandemic, as the staff did their utmost to allow essential communication between our mum and us as a family via phone calls, window visits and pod visits. They made sure that our loved ones could still hear or see us in some format, so critical when dealing with residents who suffer from varying degrees of Alzheimer's and dementia. We will never be able to say how grateful we are to St Mark's for looking after Mum so well when it was no longer possible for us to do that at our home anymore. Our heartfelt thanks go out to each and everyone at St Mark's Care Home.

My experience using the care home has been very good. I visit my son on a daily bases. I was able to visit him during the lockdown and during the time, even when the visits had high cases of Covid because I was given the special privilege of being the main carer for my son. The staff have always been
helpful and cooperative. The cleanliness of the place has been excellent. Safety and security have been good.

The care staff and management at St Mark's are fantastic. Mum was looked after so well with advanced dementia in the Windsor Unit for a number of years. Professional and compassionate with great food, garden and services for residents. Thank you for making her last years as comfortable as they could
be. We are forever grateful.

I have always found the staff to be very caring. My brother has been semi-conscious for many weeks, but I am convinced he is happy, peaceful and looked after 24 hours a day.
In the last week, I have been contacted twice by the attending doctor, who asked for my permission to have my brother put into
the hospital. This, I refused (I have power of attorney) as I am convinced that at the closing stage of his life, he is better off with the loving care and attention of the staff at St Mark's.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.474)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.474) out of 10 for St Mark's Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.474 for St Mark's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (106 Goods x 4) + (39 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.474

  • 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 Mark's Care Home is based on 34 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 34 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.

Job Title: Senior Activity Coordinator

Joined: 2018

I started working for BUPA six years ago. I previously worked as a teaching assistant, however after my Nan was diagnosed with dementia I wanted to learn how to support her and others in their daily lives. After doing some research I was so lucky this position became available and did not hesitate to join the team here at St Marks Care Home. I love making a difference in people's lives and adding happiness to their days. I live locally, and in my free time, I love spending time with my family, visiting London for theatre trips and camping.

I have been in the care sector since 2015 and started working for BUPA nearly two years ago. I absolutely love talking to the residents daily and getting to know more about their backgrounds and families. I live just around the corner from home and spend most of my time with my young boys. When they're not keeping me busy I love to travel and read.

I've been a part of the BUPA team for two years now and have held my current position for 6 months. I love my role at BUPA and have found a real passion for making the home run look the best it possibly can, whilst keeping things safe for staff and residents. I have recently become a dad to a beautiful baby girl and spend my free time living life to the fullest with my wife and baby. I'm a local to Maidenhead and love getting out in the area for good food and enjoying motorsports with friends.
