Overall Experience

Three of my community are in care at St Mary's. Over the years, a number of our sisters have been in care. At present, I visit twice daily. I always find the staff welcoming and helpful. Our sisters are very happy there and are grateful for the care they receive. I sense an atmosphere of happiness and

peace in St Mary's. The staff are very person-centred.

Overall Experience

My father went to St Mary's straight from the hospital. The managers visited him in the hospital, and he was moved a few days later. All the staff have been so welcoming, and my father has settled in very well. He likes all the staff, and they are kind and supportive of him and us as a family. We know

he is being well looked after and is safe. As a family, we are very grateful. Many thanks to everyone.

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident of St Mary's Residential for nearly two years now and is very well cared for by the amazing staff. The home is spotlessly clean, and Mum loves the food!
Her well-being and happiness are my priority, and I have no concerns about either!
Thank you.

My mother is very happy at St Mary’s. She is well looked after, and the food is great, and she’s made new friends. She is now joining in more with the activities.
There are lots more new staff, and they seem very friendly.

Overall Experience

My father has been at the home just over four years, and until recently, my mother also, and during this time, they have been very well cared for. Father has often told me how kind everyone has been to him, and both of them enjoyed the meals. All the carers are courteous and helpful, and I know that

Dad is being well looked after.

Overall Experience

My 102-year-old mother has been at St Mary’s care home for four months now after spending two months in hospital having broken her hip. She has a very nice large room and has settled well. The staff are friendly and efficient, and I feel that she is well looked after.
The small chapel has been converted

into a beautiful dining room, and the stained glass windows reflect onto the ground - it is such a lovely room where the residents are served good fresh meals. There are now two activity coordinators, so the residents are kept entertained with various activities.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at St Mary's for nearly two years now. I have found the staff to have always been very caring and lovely with my mum. The management team are very good at keeping us informed of any changes as to how the home is to be run and if there are any concerns about how Mum is; they are quick

to contact us.
There is always the option to get involved with activities if residents wish to do so and they make an effort to make special occasions like birthdays and Christmas a memorable time. There is a lovely family feel to the home, and it is very reassuring to know that Mum is being looked after in such a warm, friendly and caring environment.

Overall Experience

I found it so difficult finding suitable care for my mother. The staff at St Mary's are very kind and caring, and I am confident that she is now in the best place. She enjoys the food and the company of the staff and the other residents in a pleasant, clean and comfortable surrounding with activities

and entertainment provided on a daily basis.

Extremely friendly, professional and kind. Everyone has made us all very welcome and explain everything well. The difference to Mum re: cleanliness, drinking, and food is fabulous. Also, she has made friends and has improved socially.

Overall Experience

I arrived at St Mary's in August 2016. I was well received and shown to a lovely bedroom recently painted and carpeted. I quickly settled in and found the management and staff very caring and helpful. The house is bright and very well kept, pleasant lounges and a large garden. A balanced diet and food

nicely served.
There seems to be a calm and peaceful atmosphere, there is a named activities person who does quizzes, handcrafts and exercises as well as visiting entertainers.

Overall Experience

It was hard for me to accept that my mum needed to be cared for. Since she has been at St Mary's I realise I need not have worried. The care she has received has been excellent. I have had wonderful support from all the staff myself at quite a traumatic time for me personally. My mum has blossomed since

being around other people all the time and she talks a lot about what she has been doing and the friends she has made. I am reassured that my mum is in a safe and friendly environment at all times. It has given me peace of mind and made my mum a happier person. Thank you to all the wonderful staff there.

Overall Experience

Resident for three years. Selected the Catholic home because it is small (approx 20 residents) with rooms with a very nice chapel attached. Have found the experiences of being there more positive as time has passed.

Reply from Nicole Homewood, Registered manager at St Mary's Residential Care Home

Thank you for the review. We are in the process of employing an activity co-ordinator as we have recognised that in the past the activities have been limited for our residents. We already have a programme in place with fortnightly visits from a local children's performing arts group and other activities for residents to participate in and often have to actively encourage them to join in. With the new activity co-ordinator we hope to motivate our residents to form their own interest groups and join in with the activities on offer.
