My wife is receiving the best possible care at St Georges. She is treated with compassion and understanding and is comfortable in her surroundings. Her room is always clean and tidy. She is always well-dressed. I take great comfort that she is well looked after by her one-to-one carer who is excellent.

St Georges Court has been wonderful with my mother, who's been a resident since September 2022. She was very distressed, screaming in fear after bad experiences in another home. She is blind and has memory loss. Staff worked so hard to work out a care plan, and, even through personal changes, have brought
Mum to stability and even happiness! Staff are always warm, friendly and responsive - even when things go wrong - which obviously they do, everywhere.

Myself and my son would like to highly recommend St George’s Court Care Home. The care home looked after my dad when he was alive, and is now looking after my mum. The care home is like one big happy family. The staff are always happy and helpful and willing to help visitors and residents alike. The
care home has many activities during the week and entertainment. It’s always kept lovely and clean.
The food is excellent. When I visit Mum and then leave, I know Mum is getting the best care.

Reply from Jayne Masterson, Manager at St Georges Court

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is so lovely to hear that St Georges was able to look after Dad and can continue to show care to your mum and you as a family. We will ensure we share your positive review with the team.

Staff are mostly kindly and well meaning, but often they knock, enter and say 'tea' or similar. It would be so much nicer if they could chat a little: 'how are you' or 'it's a lovely day' or 'rainy day' and look her in the face and smile. It's a very minor matter on the face of it, but it would make
a big difference.

My husband was admitted to St George's in November 2022 as needing nursing care. During his time, every effort was made to ensure his comfort and well-being. There was humour, and of course, tears. During February 2023, his very poor health deteriorated further, but the staff were kind and respectful
and helped us to cope with his passing when the time came.
Our children, grandson and I want to thank all the staff for the very high level of care he was given during his stay with you. I felt that he had the best possible life considering how ill he was.

Some carers are more efficient and more caring. I think more activities or someone taking time talking to them as you can see the difference in the residents when this happens. Things have improved greatly.

In my husband's words - "that nurse is a diamond", which relates to all the staff. He has settled down and is well-liked by all the staff. The manager is always at hand or at the end of her mobile, which is very reassuring. Really pleased with this care home. Please thank all the staff for the excellent

My wife is bedbound. She luckily became a resident in St George's Court care home last year. On Wednesday 29th of June, they held a visitor and relatives "Mary Poppins themed tea party", during the national care home week. I left my wife to see what was going on and found myself confronting "Mary Poppins"
herself carrying a chair yet with an umbrella hooked on her arm. She was helping another resident settle into their lounge. Then from among the munching residents and visitors, this hatted and long-dressed Mary Poppins flew at me, clutching her umbrella saying "welcome, we are bringing the party to you and your wife in her room". The tea tray is being delivered there now, come with me. Only then did I think I recognised, under that hat, the home manager herself. So much wife enjoyed a brief chat with this Mary Poppins, and then she flew off. It is the best UK nursing care home I have encountered. Everyone employed in the building becomes part of a caring team effort. Well done to all those involved in making this exhilarating party for as many residents as possible and the rest of us.

I am very grateful for the continuing care given to my mother since she was admitted to the dementia care section of St George’s Court last August. Staff are very caring, and under the very difficult circumstances surrounding Coronavirus, have worked exceptionally hard to make day-to-day life as good
as it can be for the residents. It’s fantastic that now restrictions have been eased, activities are increasing, and the stimulation provided by these is much appreciated. The social media page is a good way of seeing some of the activities that occur, and it’s lovely to see my mum in some of the photos engaging in these.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

When we were looking for a nursing home for my grandad between myself and the social worker, we phoned about 40-50 homes, and every home would not accept him due to him needing 1-1 for behavioural reasons. When I phoned St George’s Court, I spoke to the manager, who was so helpful and knowledgeable,
and I could tell she wanted to help us, and a week later, he moved in. I was worried about how unsettled Grandad was going to be after yet another move, but when he got there, the manager made Grandad feel so welcome and comforted him straight away. Grandad was only there for 3-weeks before he fell ill and passed away. But I am happy to know the last 3-weeks of his life he was comfortable and looked after well in St George’s Court. We, as a family, thank all the staff for their care and compassion, as we know that with Granddad's dementia, he wasn’t the easiest to look after.
Thanks again, St George’s Court; you really went above and beyond for my grandad after everything he had been through. Thank you.

My mother was in St Georges, and I couldn't have wished for a better or more caring home. From the manager, care manager, the nurses and carers, all staff were very kind and very professional. There is also a lovely garden to sit in. I had regular phone updates and calls when my mother became ill. Thank

It feels like home here. My mother-in-law tells me she likes it here and that everyone is kind and lovely. She says they look after her well and she is happy. I agree. What I see is that people are patient and kind, and they know my mother-in-law well. They are a new family to her, and although we are

Our mother has been at St George's since October 2019, so Covid has been in the background for almost the whole of her stay. This has obviously had a significant impact, particularly on our ability to visit as much or as often as we would have liked.
However, throughout her stay, we have been impressed
with the hard work and dedication of the staff. The level of care has been great and, when we have not been unable to visit, we have been kept informed of her health and welfare. Most of all, we are confident that our mother feels settled and has enjoyed her time at St George's.
We would like to say a big thank you!

The staff have certainly had some tough times this last year with Covid restrictions, but my observations are such that they have come through it all with fortitude and professionalism. I think that there have been times, especially at weekends, when they have been stretched, but I have nothing but
praise of the all, and in particular, for those on reception and the onsite manager.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for St Georges Court 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.775 for St Georges Court is calculated as follows: ( (271 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.775

  • 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 Georges Court is based on 27 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
