I am so overwhelmed by the way we are greeted by staff and the way they are towards the residents. My sister-in-law is well cared for and very happy with the way the home has bounced back to the highest that I can say. The manager is doing a great job, keep it up, you are the best. The staff are fantastic.
Thank you.

We found St Luke's care and treatment of Dad to be excellent. Staff were always very respectful, reassuring and accommodating, and looked after Dad and the family with compassion.

So pleased to have found St Luke's Care Home, for a temporary stay for my partner after a particularly tough time at home. The staff are dedicating their time to care for and ensuring that the residents are well looked after. My partner says that the food is good and nourishing and nothing is too much
trouble.

Dad has had an awesome time at St Luke's. He has taken to it like a fish to water. Staff are very supportive and caring. Dad loves it here, he thinks the food is great.

The best thing I ever did was take my father out of this home, it has no leadership, no communication between staff, it's dirty and overall terrible.
There are no activities to keep the residents occupied. We often found our father with food around his mouth, on his clothes on his bed sheets, no effort
had been done to tidy him up and make him feel respectable. Dad did have his problems but we often heard him say when they were giving him care that they weren't listening to him. Overall I found this home dirty, depressing, and unloved, think the staff need to learn the meaning of empathy.

Reply from Rishi Ghai, Director at St Luke's Care Home

Thank you for providing feedback regarding your father's stay at St Luke's, we are sorry to hear you feel this way. Regrettably, as we were unable to meet your father's needs, we had to make a difficult decision to serve notice on his placement at St Luke's. We understand this may have caused upset to you and your family, however, we would like to reassure you that this decision was made keeping in mind his best interests.


We note that you did not raise any concerns at all throughout your father's stay at St Luke's and that the timing of your feedback coincides with his move away from St Luke's. Nevertheless, as we strive to provide the best care possible to all our residents at St Luke's, we value all feedback from our residents and their families.


We wish your father all the very best.

It's a good home, tidy and clean. The staff have been great. They worked hard over the last year or so to keep Covid out and look after the residents so well. They have made visiting possible, which has been great. Thank you to them.

My grandma spent a few weeks here after being in hospital. The care provided was brilliant. Staff were so supportive and caring. She was able to return home after a few weeks. A big thank you to the team for all the love and support!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.701)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.701) out of 10 for St Luke's Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.701 for St Luke's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.701

  • 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 Luke's Care Home is based on 17 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
