Wow-thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means the world to us to hear that your grandmother had such a positive experience at Saint Jude's. Knowing that she thrived in our care and felt happy and supported is exactly what we strive for every single day. Our team will be over the moon to hear your kind words. They put their hearts into what they do, and it's so lovely to know their efforts made a real difference. And we're delighted that you noticed the little things too, the bright, welcoming rooms, the delicious food, and the attention to detail. We always want our home to feel like just that, a home. Thank you again for taking the time to share this. It was an absolute pleasure caring for your grandmother, and we wish you and your family all the very best. With warmest regards, Saint Jude's Care Home

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Saint Jude Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.831 for Saint Jude Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.831
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 Saint Jude Care Home is based on 15 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: Director/Owner
Joined: 2014
Jennifer took ownership of Saint Jude Care Home with her husband Greg in 2014. Since then they have extended the home from 17 to 22 bedrooms and built a reputation for delivering high standards of care.
Being a family-run business means Saint Jude's can offer a very personal service tailored not only to the residents but to their families too.
'We treat our residents as an extension of our own family and families feel reassured with this approach. Sometimes people are surprised to find us so involved with the business from hosting events, assisting with day-to-day running and admissions etc, but we wouldn't have it any other way. We like to get to know all of our families and friends on a personal level and that way we get to build their trust and enable them to feel they can approach us at any time. They soon become good friends and those lasting relationships are important to us.'
'We love to host events and that's when we really demonstrate our teamwork as a family. We all get involved in planning, decorating, entertainment and catering. Even our children help out running the raffles and our dog Monty loves to pop in too!'
