Overall Experience

We chose this home for my father because of the positive, committed and caring attitude of the staff. St Michael's is kept very clean and the food, which is prepared on site, is very good. My father enjoyed taking part in the varied activities and made friends amongst the residents. He was very happy

here.

After my wife's 8-month residency, I have found St Michaels to be very professional including registered nursing. The staff are always helpful and well trained, and the food is good. The activities are excellently arranged by very warm personnel.

Overall Experience

My Dad has been at St.Michael's for just over a year now and it has made such a difference to him. Previously he had got to a stage where he was no longer able to manage in his sheltered accommodation, even with family support and carers and after a spell in hospital it became clear he needed somewhere

with 24-hour care. After looking at different options and also trying another nursing home for a respite stay, we decided that St. Michael's may be a more suitable home for Dad. We had previously had a good experience when an Aunt had been there 3 years before.
Since Dad has been at St.Michael's his health has improved significantly. He is happy and content as he knows he is well looked after.
All of the staff are excellent and it is always reassuring that the staff remain the same, unlike some other homes that experience a quick turnover of staff.
Our family are very grateful for all the care that Dad is given, it has made such a difference to him and also to us.

Overall Experience

I have recently helped my parents move to St Michael's from their flat where they were independently living. It was a hard decision and difficult to find somewhere with a double room. They are 100 and 96 years old and have been married for 74 years. They have settled in well and Mum is beginning to

make use of the activities provided. Dad is less keen to join in but is being looked after extremely well by all the staff ensuring he eats and drinks well and all his personal care is seen to with dignity.
Everyone has been so kind and welcoming.

Overall Experience

The person who I am writing about has been in the care of St Michael's since May 2023 until her passing on the 8th of January 2024. In my opinion, she was given the best care throughout her time at St Michael's. All the staff are friendly and dedicated to looking after the residents. Lots of activities

to keep them occupied and entertainment several times a week, which happens in the common room/lounge, including a sing-along/chess/ quizzes and many more activities. As the illness progressed, she was confined to bed, where she had good care given to her by both the care staff and nurses.

My mother came to St Michael’s in very poor health after a very severe illness. Due to the care and attention she has received she has now regained her strength and mobility. The staff were also very supportive of me in a very distressing time. Unfortunately due to the onset of dementia, she can no

longer return to her own home but she now sees St Michael's as her home. The staff are lovely with her and encourage her to join in activities and the food is excellent.

My mother-in-law was admitted in April 2023 after discharge from hospital.
She was only ever treated with respect and kindness by all the staff.
She went on an outing which she thoroughly enjoyed, which must have been a big effort by the staff.
We were kept fully informed of her condition at all

times.
There were no visiting restrictions which was very helpful.
The staff always had a ready smile.

My dad has been at St Michael's since April, for respite care initially. From day one, the staff have been great. They are all very friendly, helpful, caring, reassuring when needed and supportive. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff work hard to arrange activities to keep residents entertained

and engaged - not an easy task I’m sure, but all done with a lot of smiles and encouragement.

Overall Experience

My wife lost her mobility and was admitted to A&E on 13th February 2023. After more than six weeks in the hospital, she had not regained her mobility - she needed assistance from a nurse to get out of bed when she moved to St Michael's on the 24th of March 2023. She prospered in the caring atmosphere

of the care home. She tells me that the food is outstanding. After less than two weeks at St Michael's, she had regained her mobility, with the aid of a frame, and has returned home. This excellent result is a monument to the wonderfully caring staff at the home, managed by a dedicated and dynamic manager.

I am a resident of St Michael's and have been here for over a year. I have always found the care staff pleasant and very helpful. The nursing staff are professional and knowledgeable. Management staff are very pleasant, and all the staff are very welcoming to visitors. Food is of a very high standard,

and tea/coffee is always available. Cleanliness is excellent with a good group of maintenance staff. I would recommend this care home to anyone that is looking for good, safe nursing care for themselves or a relative.

Overall Experience

Mum was a resident for about two and half years at St Michael's. She would tell us constantly that she was well looked after. It was evident from our visits that the staff did everything to make her comfortable and fulfil her needs, especially as she became frailer. As a family, we were kept well informed

of all aspects of Mum's care. Mum's room was clean and well-appointed, and the quality of the food was really quite exceptional. In our opinion, any care establishment is only as good as the staff that work and run it. I find it hard to believe that you would find it better than our experience of St Michael's.

Overall Experience

My stepmother was a resident of St Michael's for two and half years prior to her recent passing.
She suffered from dementia and severe mobility issues. She was cared for with the utmost dignity throughout her stay by all the staff that she had dealings with (management, nurses, carers, activity coordinators,

kitchen staff, reception, maintenance etc), she was treated like the unique individual she was right until the end. My dad visited his wife on a very regular basis, and all the staff welcomed him into the home and made him feel special. Although she was at St Michael's through the majority of the Covid pandemic, they kept communications with the family open with regular phone calls and strict testing in place when the limited visiting was in place. We attended a number of the events once restrictions had been lifted, and it was good to see the residents having fun. Thank you so much to the manager and your team for all the love and care you showed her; it is so much appreciated.

Nan stayed here for two weeks of emergency respite care.
The manager and team are kind and caring, and our nan was quickly feeling much better.
They took charge of her medication by temporarily registering her with their GP and took all the worry away from us.
Our nan particularly likes the conservatory

and garden.
Great communication and support. Many thanks.
Would not hesitate to recommend St Michaels.

Overall Experience

My mother, who celebrated her 99th birthday last week, has been at St Michael's for just over a year. Unfortunately, this time has been through the Covid pandemic, which has severely restricted visiting arrangements, requiring testing and restrictions of numbers. However, through this difficult time,

the staff have impressed me by providing attentive care and providing my mother with any assistance as required. Being confined to her bed, my mother is not able to attend any events arranged by the home, so I have not been able to attend any to give a rating for these. As social services are fully funding this placement, I am not aware of the cost of the room, but "value for money" would seem to be acceptable to them.

Thank you for your review and understanding of visiting restrictions during this pandemic. Hopefully, restrictions have been eased and enabled easier visiting arrangements.

Our mum has had several homes where she has not been cared for properly. We found St Michael's by chance. I called the office and spoke to a friendly administrator who said there was availability for Mum. I raced to the home on my bike and was shown two lovely, spacious, clean rooms. I saw all around

the home and ground,s and as soon as we said Mum would be happy there, then everything was organized by St Michael's to move Mum. Nothing has been too much trouble. Mum always looks clean and warm, and most important of all, she is happy. We know we will be contacted if there are any concerns regarding Mum, and likewise, the home never minds if we contact them. The staff are all happy and are a really good team, who look after their residents as they would their own family. I wish we could have found this home first for Mum. Well done, St Michael's.
