I cannot speak highly enough of all staff at St George's from the manager, admin team, carers, nurses even the kitchen staff and cleaners. All so helpful caring and always wanting to go that bit further for you all the time.
My dad was loved and cared wonderfully by each and every member of staff.
They
make the best pot of tea :-)!
I can highly recommend St George's on anyone who sadly needs respite or to place a relative in a care home.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. It has been a pleasure caring for your family and especially for your father. I will share this with the team to make their day better.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Initially, I was taken aback by the rather rundown interior of St George's Nursing Home.
My concerns were quickly allayed after meeting with management.
They are professional, warm, understanding, calm and kind people.
Nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
During my partners stay there were
some challenging situations, including room changes. Management and their staff were supportive with all the changes and illness issues we had to deal with.
He was always clean and well fed. He was a tricky customer with food, so they did very well there.
When he felt well enough they took him to the High Street in his wheelchair.
The staff quickly realised a cheeky conversation would put a big smile on his face and any discussion about Leeds United was very welcome.
All the carers treated the residents with respect and kindness. There was nice interaction with everyone.
I will be eternally grateful for the care and support St Georges gave him in his final months. Thank you.

The care team provided amazing care for my father during his stay. The food was excellent and they managed to stabilise his weight loss. They were able to help with the healing of a bed sore he got whilst in his own home and managed to get him walking again. Their advice on walking aids was invaluable.
My father stayed in 3 care homes during his illness and Royston continues to be the only home he talks of because he enjoyed his stay there so much.

My mother arrived at St George's having been given 3 weeks to live following a stroke. That was five years ago! The care that she received helped her recover and she was soon able to chat away to her family during our visits. It is never easy entrusting the care of a loved one to others, but St. George's
staff's kindness, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference for our family. The warmth and patience they showed her over the years, especially during her more challenging days, made a real difference. It gave her family great comfort to know that she was surrounded by people who genuinely cared for her well-being and whose dedication made a significant difference in her quality of life, and for that, her family are profoundly thankful.

Reply from Constantin Ulian, General Manager at St George's Nursing Home

Thank you very much for the kind review. I will share this with the team that have been alongside her at every step. This means a lot to both the home as much as for the team.

St George's cared for my wife with dignity and kindness for the 12 months she resided in the nursing home. I would like to thank all the staff nurses and carers.
An area for improvement: the app my daughters were given access to did not actually provide any useful updates. This could have helped in
providing better communication on medical and health progress updates. In-person updates, on doctor visits, test results or health progress was not delivered to the family as timely as we would have liked.

My mother has been in St George's for several years now. I have to say that the care she has had has been excellent. The carers always treat her with dignity and respect, even when she has been agitated, which must be hard. I have occasionally arrived while they are giving her care and so witness their
gentle but clear and confident approach to her, which helps her calm down.
The manager listens carefully to any concerns and we hear about plans for the home in the regular relatives meetings.
Because the home is small there is a family feel about it. The communal room may not be the most spacious room, but we really have some fun there when there are gatherings of various sorts. I am happy to recommend it.

Reply from Constantin Ulian, General Manager at St George's Nursing Home

Thank you very much for the compliments and I will share this with the team at our next meeting. We hope to maintain the high standards and implement new ways of working in order to make your mother's stay the best way of living in our facility.

My father has been in care for the past few days at St George's. He was well looked after and cared for during the time he was a resident. There were a few occasions improvements could have been made as when I visited not always the warmest of welcomes after travelling two hours. However, on my father's
final journey, the carers could not have been more helpful or compassionate and treated my father with respect and dignity.

My husband was taken into St George's Nursing Home in October at end of life. The care he received from the day he arrived to the day he died was very good. The staff were very kind and caring and treated him like a human being. The kitchen staff were very good, made him food he liked and could eat.
I can’t thank the manager for his kindness he showed to my husband and myself. He was always ready to speak to and dealt with anything I needed to discuss. The whole staff should be praised for their hard work. I don’t want to mention any one person as they were all very good.

My dear friend spent her last two weeks at St George's. The care and attention she was given were excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They made sure everything possible was done to help her settle in and feel safe, even arranging for her hair to be cut and styled as soon as they could,
as they knew how important this was to her. We were all made very welcome to visit at any time and stay as long as we wanted, even being offered drinks and food. The staff always made time to come and chat to us, listen to our concerns and explain every stage of her care and what we could expect. It was lovely to see her being so well cared for in a relaxed and peaceful home. The manager and staff are so kind and genuinely care for the residents, at a very sad time we needed this reassurance. I would recommend care here to anyone.

I am so thankful for the amazing care that my mum received whilst a resident of St George's Nursing Home. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for all they do. Mum was treated with respect, dignity and compassion tailored to her individual needs, after suffering a severe stroke in April, in a loving
and home-from-home environment. This gave us such enormous comfort for her family during a very difficult time. There was always a warm welcome for us and no restrictions on visiting times, which was incredibly helpful. We were kept well informed, nothing was too much trouble, and they were always on hand to answer any questions we had. We couldn't have wished for better. Heartfelt thanks to all at St George's.

My great-uncle needed respite care while his bungalow was being repaired after a flood. St George's was very welcoming and adaptable, taking care of my relative. The manager was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the other staff were always friendly and willing to help. Should my great-uncle need respite
or residential care again in the future, St George's will be the first place I will call.

My beloved granny felt at home in St George's for 10.5-years, and every time I visited from Switzerland, I could feel the care and attentiveness to her physical and psychological well-being. The staff were also very considerate to her family, always attentive to our worries and questions. She was very

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.637)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.637) 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 4.6 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 4.637 for St George's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 157 Ratings = 4.637

  • 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, 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.
