Overall Experience

Our father-in-law only came to live at St Margaret's Nursing Home in December 2016. He settled really quickly. The staff are all friendly and caring, attending to his medical and emotional needs. The manager and her assistant have also been very helpful to us, taking care of all transitional arrangements

and whenever we visit, they are very informative about his health and wellbeing. All the staff seem well-informed and interested in their residents. We are always made to feel welcome.

Overall Experience

My mum has been cared for by the excellent staff at the St Margarets Nursing Home since August last year, and we are very happy with the level of care, support and dignity received both by my mum and my family when we visit. It is a very welcoming nursing home.

Very kind and approachable staff, always welcoming when we arrive. The registered nurses are always keen to give me an update of my mother's condition and care needs and act on any issues which may arise.

Overall Experience

My father was admitted for end of life care and died at the end of October. I cannot fault his care. As a registered nurse myself, I was aware of the professionalism shown by all members of staff, both qualified and care assistance. This also extends through to all the support staff. My father's physical

and emotional needs were fully met with staff going the extra mile, for example, to tempt his appetite. They extended this care and support to all members of our family. Indeed, Dad said to us that he would recommend St Margaret's Nursing Home.

Overall Experience

My dad is very happy and he has kept as much independence as he can. He is receiving very good end of life care but still likes to do as much for himself as he can which is what he wants. The staff do as much as they can to always make you welcome with pots of tea, coffee, cake and biscuits and you're

always made to feel at home. They're also always there to help and support you in any way they can. That's all the members of staff.

Overall Experience

My experience of St Margaret's Nursing Home is of excellence. I have found all of the staff caring, friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. My husband is now bedridden but there is always a friendly face popping in to check on him and make him more comfortable. I have noticed that the staff

make an effort to put on various activities for the most mobile residents. I can't really comment on the food as my husband has difficulty swallowing so is on a restricted diet, but they will always offer an alternative to tempt him. His medical care has been faultless and there is always a senior member of staff available is you have any queries.

Overall Experience

My mum was only with you for one evening and a morning before she sadly passed away but in the short time she was there, she was well looked after. The staff were brilliant and dealt with my mums passing with the utmost care and professionalism. They are all a credit to their jobs and my mum couldn't

have been better taken care of.

Overall Experience

My husband has been received as if meeting family friends again despite being in a hoist and having to be transferred on a stretcher. This is so refreshing. My husband was discharged from hospital on 28.4.16, into St Margaret's Nursing Home then readmitted to hospital by the diligence of the staff who

phoned me up for permission as my husband did not want to go into hospital. As he had been there for 12 weeks previously. My husband was admitted to hospital on 3.5.16 and discharged again on 8.5.16 in very traumatic circumstances. Everything was waiting for him at St Margaret's and I settled him and left the staff to get into a routine with my husband again. Within 24 hours my husband was returning to his old self again. I am confident that he will recover slowly to enable me to take care of him in the near future. We both need time to readjust to the new set of circumstances that we have found ourselves in.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in St Margaret's for two years and has been very happy. Unfortunately she is not mobile due to a bad fall 3 years ago, when she broke her hip and arm. The staff and management are terrific with her, she is looked after very well, her room is small but she has everything she needs. She enjoys

her meals and as she is diabetic they spoil her by making special foods so she doesn't feel left out. My husband and I enjoy going to the home and are always made very welcome. It is a very happy place, and everyone living there is very well cared for.
