Overall Experience

I had the pleasure of visiting my sister yesterday, who is a resident at St Clements. From the moment my wife and I arrived, we were made to feel really welcome. We were immediately offered refreshments and were even able to stay for lunch.
We were both really impressed with the dedication and caring

attitude displayed by the staff and left with the knowledge that my sister and all the residents receive top-quality care. Thank you so much.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Overall Experience

I am always welcomed by the staff during my visits, and they always seem happy.
The home is lovely and clean, and the outside gardens are taking shape. My friend is really happy and is enjoying the activities that are taking place. Having recently been to the home for the residents and family meeting

- a lovely, well-presented afternoon tea was laid on for us. The home manager has kept us up to date with the renovation works. Really happy with everything. I couldn’t wish for a nicer home and staff.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely comments. I will be sure to pass these on to the staff. I am so pleased that you are happy with everything and like how the home has taken shape.

Overall Experience

Gradually as the new construction becomes complete, the home is taking on increasingly what a real care home should comprise. This month the completion is now only a matter of weeks away, and we all are excited that the home will be standing on its own feet for the benefit of all. I sincerely hope we

can all benefit from what has been an incredibly difficult project.

Overall Experience

Everyone at St Clements is so friendly and caring, always happy and smiling. It makes me, as a relative, much more relaxed about Mum's care and her daily life. Nothing is too much trouble. It is important to us that we feel content in Mum's care. Sadly Mum is unable to speak for herself, so a care home

has to anticipate her needs and requirements. I am happy to say I can rest assured that everything is being done to look after her in the way we would, if only we could.
Mum has recently moved into a beautiful new room which leads straight out onto the gardens, something which again is very important to her, as, before her incapacity, she would always be outside tending to her own garden.
The manager is wonderful, always on hand to update and ask questions, I never feel left out of the loop. She champions Mum's requirements as if she is looking after "one of her own". With regards to food, mMm is now peg fed, so I cannot comment on the food.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your comments. We are aware that it is important for mum to have a view of the gardens, so is lovely that we will soon be able to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. We always aim to take care of our residents in a way would like our own parents cared for. Your review will be shared with all of the staff as it is important for them to know that they are doing a grand job. Thank you again.

Overall Experience

St Clements is a lovely home that is being refurbished. The new section of the home is nicely decorated, and the rooms are beautifully equipped with shower en-suite facilities. The home is clean and tidy and smells clean and fresh. When coming to visit my relative, I am always greeted by the staff,

who always have a smile. The nurses keep me updated on how my relative is, and I receive regular emails from the manager, who keeps us informed of any updates with the home. I cannot fault the care or kindness of the staff. We are so pleased that we chose St Clements; it is going to be a beautiful home when it is finished.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you are happy with the new extension to the home. Staff presenting with a smile when greeting is always a nice feeling, and we are glad you feel that you are kept informed of any updates or changes to your loved one. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I'm amazed at how happy and settled my husband has been at St Clements House. All of the staff are so caring and thoughtful to his needs. It's taken such a weight from my shoulders knowing that my husband is being cared for so very well. The manager is always there to help me with any queries I have

and goes out of her way to include me in my husband's care and support. This makes me feel very secure. There isn't anything I can find fault with. The staff are polite, well trained and very caring.

Overall Experience

Although my father was only in there a short time at the end of his life, the care and attention he received at this time were outstanding. He was washed, showered, clothes changed and made comfortable at all times. The staff were genuinely caring, kind and very friendly and accommodating. I was made

to feel welcome at any time of day or night, was always offered refreshments and even food. I thank God my father ended his life in that nursing home. Bless them all.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words; I shall ensure all of the staff are given your feedback. We are so pleased you were happy with the care that was given to your father and that you were made welcome in our home.

We have visited St Clements several times and have been struck by the helpfulness of the staff (at all levels) towards our relatives and towards us as visitors. Our relative is definitely treated as an individual with their specific needs and considered.
Our ratings are the fact the we experience

the cultural rather than the physical aspects of the home. We cannot rate the value for money because our relative is cared for on NHS contract - we assume.

I have been really impressed by the way the staff care for everybody, being on the receiving end myself, I am grateful for this care. The staff are friendly and caring and go out of their way to make sure I am comfortable and have what I need. The care also includes people who work in the kitchen and

provide us with excellent meals going out of their way to tempt me to eat a little. I feel safe and looked after - my TV and walker have both been checked and fixed!

Overall Experience

My family member has been staying at St Clements for two years, and in that time, the management of the home has changed several times to now a very happy, safe and well-run home. The renovations could be a problem, but the staff are working hard to control this to not upset or inconvenience residents

or their needs and the homely feel. Overall, I have always found my relative very clean, healthy and well cared for in a home providing good, varied food in a clean, well decorated and friendly surrounding with plenty of activities, lots of respect and smiles.

Reply from St Manager, Home Manager at St Clements Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your response. The renovations are well underway, and we are trying to ensure this does not disrupt the home too much. We are so looking forward to the new look of St Clements Nursing Home. All of the staffing team appreciate your kind words. Thank you.

Not using names of the excellent team looking after my mother, all the staff have been welcoming, friendly, efficient and caring. Whilst building works are extensively taking place, the home appears clean and comfortable. Queries are quickly answered, and Mum's needs are attended to. I can always get

in touch and am never made to feel a nuisance. During a worrying time for Mum, St Clements has been so very supportive, pleasant, reassuring and kind.

Overall Experience

I always found the staff to be helpful and caring towards my friend and myself.
The cleanliness of the room could be an issue as she would sometimes throw anything and everything causing the problem. I felt staff shortage and insufficient time was the reason it could not be cleared up immediately.

I sometimes found myself washing her table and cleaning very old food from it. When her room was decorated, the painter obviously just stopped at the mattress level (top end of the bed). Below there, the wall was stained, dirty and obviously not painted.
The food that I saw was always presented well and looked appetising. I obviously saw her very little in her final year, but when I did, she was always clean and well-groomed. Not an easy task as she was often not compliant.
I never felt I was too much trouble when I rang, and always felt she was cared for. That offers great peace of mind. Thank you all.
