My mum has been a resident at St George's for several years now. She has been very well cared for throughout her stay. The staff at St George's are amazing. Kind, polite, patient and affectionate. We always receive a warm welcome at reception and a choice of locations to meet with Mum. Sometimes in
the sitting rooms, in private in her own room, or outside in the lovely garden. We are often served tea and cake and are given space to have a proper visit. There are lots of activities on offer and the staff work hard to keep everyone involved. Mum is still able to go on external trips, even though her mobility is not as good as it was. The food seems to be very good and is adapted to each person's needs. The home is clean and well-equipped. We receive regular updates on Mum's health from the nursing staff. The home seems to be very well run and organised. Thank you to the St George's team for taking such good care of Mum.

Absolutely fantastic, caring, compassionate, understanding, friendly, professional staff.
I wish I could name the carers that looked after my dad, as they were all fantastic. Would highly recommend this care home - it was a home-from-home experience.
Apart from being great to my dad, they all were
lovely to us, his family.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you for caring for my stepdad. Your staff were brilliant, especially his "one-to-one" carer who was always happy and bright with everyone. We had a great relationship with the reception staff - who were polite, caring and supportive. We couldn't have asked for more.

A big thank you to the staff team at St George's Care Home for their dedication and professionalism. It is a relief for me to know that my wife is now receiving the level of care she needs that I was no longer able to provide in the friendly and kind environment that prevails at St Georges, in fact,
due to the frequency of my visits I regard the staff that I now know as friends rather than carers.

Sadly Dad was not here for as long as we would have liked him to have been. During his stay here, he was looked after really well, had several excursions out and was well-liked.
We thank all the staff for the help and kindness to him during his short stay here.
We wish them continued success in
keeping up their good work.
We thank you very much.

The staff at St George's are always so welcoming, and all at the home have coped really well with the pandemic. I know that my mum is really happy and comfortable at St George's, which, especially during the pandemic when we have not been able to see each other, has given me great comfort. The home
is always very clean and tidy - and my mum is a fan of the food!

My wife had been a resident of St George's for almost seven years. Prior to the pandemic, I was a regular visitor, spending several hours a day with her in the lounges. I got to know the staff fairly well, and they were always welcoming to me and really attentive to my wife. The activities staff also
seemed to go out their way to include her on outings and other programmes of events. It was October last year that marked the start of a very difficult time for her as ongoing health issues necessitated hospital stays on three occasions, each one taking its toll on her. The caring staff in the peaceful haven that is St George's went out of their way to care for her after each stay as the personal care in the hospital was sadly lacking. With visiting limited, we regularly attempted Skype calls, and various staff members would take the tablet to her. Unfortunately, she was often sleepy, and if we got a cheeky smile from her, it was a massive bonus. No praise is too high for St George's and its staff.

My brother and I have been very happy with the care provided for our father. Our interactions with the care home and staff have all been during the current pandemic and various levels of lockdown, but we have been impressed with the efforts made by the staff not only from the care side but also on how
they have engaged with us. Communication is very good, including regular photographs of the residents on the private Facebook page. We take great comfort from the fact that our father is safe and seems happy.

My husband was welcomed into this home as though he was a family member. It was a distressing time for all of us, but we instantly felt that he was entering a really safe place where he would receive excellent care. Throughout his short stay, he was treated so well by all the staff especially his nurse
who knew immediately when he needed to go to hospital. She kept in close contact with me during the time he was in hospital to make sure that I was alright as well. All the staff, from Reception to the Manager have been really supportive and I am so grateful for the care they gave to my husband.

Mum has been a resident at St George's for over 5-years, and during this time, she has been treated with the utmost respect, kindness and support. The staff are amazing when dealing with all the residents.
Not only during Covid 19, but the home always keeps us informed about what is happening to Mum's
health and wellbeing.
Mum is now quite unwell, and the house manager very kindly with permission allowed my brother and me to see Mum for the first time in nearly 4-months due to Covid19. We were socially distanced from her, but it meant the world to us to be able to see her.

I had no hesitation in applying to St. George’s when my mum required help in her day to day life after my dad was there for five years and looked after so well. I think it says a lot when most of the staff are still the same ones after so many years. I would like to thank them all for their hard work
and dedication.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for St George's Care 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.839 for St George's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 280 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 Care Home is based on 24 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
