A well-managed care home with wonderful caring staff. Very clean and tidy and kept that way by the fastidious cleaning staff and maintenance team. The activities organizer makes sure everyone is included and works hard to make sure there are activities every day. The outside space is very well kept and a lovely place to be in warmer weather.

St. John's House is an impressive property set in beautifully maintained grounds with summer houses, patios, and plentiful seating areas for warmer weather. The home itself is tastefully decorated with a comfortable lounge, various dining areas, and seating areas with views over the gardens. Everywhere is clean, light, and airy and staff go above and beyond to deliver excellent care to all residents in a kind, friendly, and professional manner. There is a varied and interesting activities programme with trips out and outside entertainment, speakers, and musicians coming into the home. Management and staff are approachable and helpful. I have been extremely happy with the care my father has received.

St Johns is a wonderful home with wonderful staff. Standards at St John's are extremely high and the care is second to none. The staff goes above and beyond to provide a safe, warm, welcoming, and loving environment and nothing is too much trouble. There are always lots of activities and opportunities to socialise inside and outside the home and the catering team are excellent.

Mum has been a resident for four and a half years here, and I am glad that we chose St. Johns. The staff are caring and approachable, and there is always some activity or trip out to keep residents occupied. Mum feels comfortable and well cared for, the house is extremely comfortable and clean with good food and companionship.

My Mum has been at St John's for three years now and the team are excellent. They are so kind and caring and I know my Mum is in great hands and all her needs are met. I feel safe knowing she is so well cared for. The team are so welcoming, friendly, and approachable. The home is always clean and tidy and the grounds are kept beautiful. St John's is well run and as a family, we are kept up to date on Mum which is very reassuring. Making this choice for my Mum was the best thing we did. We are so pleased with the care she receives and always with a smile.

A real home, always a warm welcome, and everyone always seems very happy and well cared for. My Grandma has been a resident for nearly 11 years now and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I can visit whenever I like and relatives are also kept up to date with everything that's going on at the home.

My relative has been at St John's for 6 years. We visit them x3 per week. We know the home and the staff, carers, domestic and management very well. I would not hesitate to recommend St John's to any person looking for a care setting for their family member. The home is always spotlessly clean. A range of activities are provided. There are trips out for those who can manage them. There is a variety of food offered, and the residents have their choice. However, the most important thing is the staff. Whatever role they have in the home they treat the residents with great kindness and respect. They are simply superb. Recently I told my relative that I might not be able to visit next time because of the weather. Her reply was "Well you don't need to worry, you know I'm well looked after here".

Everyone cares. They are friendly, and professional and manage to strike a great rapport. The communication with family is also very good when required. Home is clean and feels like home when you go. Thank you.

Mum has been settled at St John's home for well over 2 years. She is extremely well cared for and nothing is too much trouble. When mum was extremely poorly in December 2023 the carers were amazing and were on hand 24/7 and fed her whatever she could manage to enable her to recover fully. I am very grateful. All the staff are very friendly and really do care for the residents as if they were their own family. The meals look very nutritious and I try and visit when it's coffee and homemade cake time usually mid-afternoon! The home is always very clean and the grounds are immaculate. I would recommend the home to anyone.

St John's is a safe and happy care home! The staff go that extra mile to make sure our loved ones are taken care of as in their own home! They are kept entertained, and the food and choices are excellent! It is like home from home each individual is catered for!

My mother has been a resident here for just over a year. I am amazed at how well she has settled into St John's. Obviously, she would prefer to be at home with my father but the care here is excellent! The staff are so dedicated and helpful - as my mother says 'there is a lot of love in here'. She has improved physically since first coming here which is a testament to the way she is looked after. There is good stimulation for her and the others who live here, with a number of well-thought-out activities and exercise classes. The residents are treated as individuals and are encouraged to make their own choices. The food looks good and is nutritious and every effort is made to adapt to my mother's wants. The home is lovely and clean and it is a pleasure to visit. The grounds are large and attractive and two gentlemen do a fantastic job in looking after these. Our family is very grateful for the facility and above all for the wonderful staff!

All the staff at St. John's are exceptional and caring and go above and beyond and could not praise them enough. It is a wonderful environment for my mum and she is so happy and we couldn't have made a better choice for her to stay somewhere which is like home from home.
22 January 2025
St John's is one of the best care homes I have been in. The staff are amazing, and the care they give the residents is outstanding they really go the extra mile for all their residents. My mum was very unsure about going into care she has now been there for over five years now and loves it.

My lovely Mum has been at St John's for 3 years now. She still wishes she could be in her own home and we still feel sad that she can't be, but we know she is in a safe and caring environment and I don't think we could ever find a better place for her. The staff are so lovely. They are always cheerful and helpful and kind. The home is bright and clean and the gardens are beautiful. The layout means that Mum can see people coming and going as well as enjoy the scenery. The current leadership team are doing a great job and we know that we can raise any concerns with them and that they will listen and respond appropriately. Mum loves music and singing. We originally looked at St John's because it once had the oldest choir (in a Book of World Records)! If there was anything we could change it would be to start another choir!

Everybody would prefer to live independently in their own home but If I had to live in a Care Home I would choose to live at St John's. When visiting my mother during the past year I have observed the staff to be well-led, professional, and very caring. The rooms and other parts of the Home are comfortable and always very clean; the food looks delicious, nutritious, and plentiful. Visitors are welcomed and the staff are always very approachable. There are generally daily activities arranged for residents who wish to participate. The staff works very hard to maintain the excellent standard it has achieved.

My mother has been a resident at St John's Care Home for well over six years. I have visited regularly at different times and found the staff very pleasant and helpful. My mother is certainly content and well cared for. The home is spotless and the food is good. I am very pleased with the care my mother has received.

Mum has been a resident at St John's for a year now and is very happy. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the grounds are beautifully tended. All the staff genuinely care for the residents and are always happy to help in any way they can. Mum particularly enjoys the daily activities both exercise and craft sessions.
22 January 2025
Friendly and caring staff in a warm and welcoming home from home. The care that Mum receives is exemplary - not only from the front-of-house staff but from everyone on the team - housekeeping, catering, maintenance, etc. Nothing is too much trouble. We are delighted that we found such a safe and beautiful home. The garden and patio are a delight which Mum appreciates.

An excellent caring environment where the staff provide thoughtful and tailored support to the residents. A professional and experienced team of staff give confidence that the individual needs of residents are being considered and fulfilled.

Very impressed with the care home. Set on beautiful grounds, and elegantly decorated, it was the perfect setting for my auntie's respite. Her room was lovely with a separate living room overlooking the grounds. The staff were wonderful, very caring and friendly, with my auntie giving her reassurance cuddles as she struggled at first being away from home. I met the head chef she told me all the food was made from scratch the residents enjoy 3 meals a day plus coffee and cakes all homemade, plus sandwiches for supper if they are still hungry! My auntie also wanders on a night, the home had clever devices that alerted the staff when she started wandering. The staff are obviously happy in their jobs, which is apparent in the way they look after the residents. They also provide daily activities, such as bingo, quizzes and exercises. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Johns and if my auntie needs any other respite I would certainly rebook.
