I cannot rate St George's high enough. All the staff are caring, competent and supportive. My father was looked after admirably. The staff made my father's last days as comfortable as possible, just like they had from the first day he went there.
I'd recommend St George's to anyone who have a loved
one that needs care. Thank you to all at St Georges.

Reply from Lizzie Colwill, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to support your father throughout his stay. We wish you all the best for the future.

Mum has been a resident of St George's for over 5 years. She is 105 years old now and requires full nursing care. She receives, and always has received, excellent care and every effort is made to make her feel comfortable and at home. I have full confidence in the staff at St George's. Everyone is very

My Mum settled fairly quickly into St. George's and her overall health has improved greatly there is always the opportunity to discuss health concerns with nursing staff and a gp visits weekly.
When I visit her weekly I am always made welcome and everyone knows who I am and who my Mum is. Her friends
visit too.
The food is well cooked and there is always a choice, Mums room is bright and warm with an en-suite bathroom. She has a comfortable bed and some of her own belonging in her room.
There is something going on most afternoons and Mum enjoys the yoga and the quizzes.
The staff are so friendly and caring and Mum feels she can ask for help with anything.
The whole family feel a sense of relief that Mum is well cared for and safe with wrap around care and attention.

The care and compassion shown by all the staff at St.George's towards not only the residents but family and friends alike is outstanding.
The premises are spotlessly clean and the vigilance and thoroughness of the nursing staff is exemplary.
My family feel that we made the very best decision in choosing
St George's staff to look after my husband and he is very happy and cared for. We feel truly blessed to be part of the St.George's extended family and to have access to such a fine nursing home.

Long before we needed residential care, out first impression of St George's was good - reception invited us to 'drop in at any time, and we will show you round'. This we did, and my husband was delighted with the way any members of staff we met, engaged with us. He has now been a resident for just over
a year and I am welcomed to spend as much time with him as I want. The managers have an open door and are very understanding and responsive. Chef and his team provide excellent, tasty and generous meals and snacks. My husband's room is well furnished and, on a daily basis, the housekeeping staff both clean the rooms and wash, iron and return laundry, both to a high standard. A programme of activities is provided daily and run by a dedicated team and the maintenance team look after any issues quickly and efficiently. Finally, and most important, the carers are excellent - very competent, respectful and kind and, reassuringly, the night staff look in to check on residents every hour. I would not hesitate to recommend St. Georges.

I must start with the staff! They all, without exclusion, contribute to making St George's Nursing Home the quite outstanding home that it is. Care and concern for their residents is built in and it is a privilege to experience it day by day. The same attitude is apparent in the cleaning staff, the
laundry, one must mention the leadership and ownership without whom standards would not be as exceptional as they are.
A sincere thank you to everyone.

My partner was admitted here from the hospital last Monday evening. He had been suffering agony from a problem with his catheter. It was a nightmare during which he was literally screaming all night at the hospital. I stayed all night but couldn't do anything. Well at last he was discharged from the
hospital to St George's, it was a miracle! From hell to heaven! I still can hardly believe it! Thank you so much! You are wonderful people, so kind and caring!

Where do I start; what a wonderful home full of wonderful, kind and caring people.
We have been very lucky to find such a wonderful home.
My mum moved in just over a week ago, she has been to the care home for 11 years, but I wish it had been an option to move her sooner. She has settled in here
very quickly and is very well looked after. All the staff, nurses, careers, reception staff, catering team and the handyman are absolutely amazing and will do anything to help; they have made not only my mum feel at home quickly but also me, which means a lot. I know my mum is being well cared for, and they are looking into ways to make things easier for her.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart; it means a lot to know that Mum is happy.

Reply from Tracey Baker, Home Manager at St George's Nursing Home

Glad to learn we are hitting all the right spots in providing a welcoming and supportive environment for your Mum. I will ensure your comments are forwarded to the team, who continue to work wearing masks in the home, which makes communication more challenging. Thank you.

My husband has Parkinson's and Dementia and is currently a resident in St George's. St George's is unique in that it has a clinically trained management team whose hard-earned experience has harmonised into a 'top-down/bottom up' management approach which focuses on staff training and prioritises residents'
care needs. From the initial assessment to service delivery, all members of the St Georges's care team know what collaborative, patient-centred care is and more importantly, have the expertise and training to implement and deliver that. Astute nursing care, together with a team of carers and ancillary staff with a shared care ethos has resulted in the provision of a consistent, high calibre level of care which means I no longer need to worry about my husband's safety or well-being. That's important, given I had to terminate a previous respite placement with a another provider due to care concerns. Suffice to say, St George's has given me a fresh perspective on residential aged care.

How very lucky we have been finding St George's for my mum. The staff are exemplary every day, and it feels like a warm, big, happy family, and they are always available for us. Mum has had depression for 22 years and dementia. St George's have worked their magic - got her out of bed and mixing with

Thank you for your kind review of our home. So glad that your relative has settled well into our home. We are doing our best to enhance the lives of all our residents and staff post-Covid-19. Our broad age range of staff, a good many, who have NVQ3 and Care Certificates give added value to the team approach. Good to hear we are on the right track, and we will continue to add value to people's day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for St George's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.831 for St George's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 160 Ratings = 4.831

  • 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 George's Nursing Home is based on 14 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
