St Joseph's Convent Nursing Home

My mother in law was only in St Joseph's for a short spell receiving end of life care. The care the she was given was excellent, the dignity that they showed her was first rate. I could pick out a few names (Ian & Liz) but to be honest, everybody was friendly and more than helpful.

My friend spent her last 3 weeks of life in St Joseph's Convent Nursing Home and from when we went through their door the warmth and welcome from the staff was second to none. Her room was home from home overlooking the beautiful garden and her favourite apple tree. The end of care provided was excellent and so professional and she went peacefully. We can't extend our gratitude. Thank you.

Dear Staff at St Joseph's Convent Nursing Home,

On behalf of our entire family, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for the care, compassion, and dignity you showed our dad Brian

From the very beginning, it was clear that he was in kind and capable hands. Your patience, warmth, and genuine concern for his wellbeing never went unnoticed. You treated him not just as a resident, but as a person-with respect, understanding, and humanity-and that meant more to us than words can fully express.

We are especially thankful for the small, everyday acts of kindness that made his days brighter, as well as the reassurance you gave to us as a family during difficult times. Knowing he was safe, comfortable, and cared for brought us great peace.

Your work is not easy, but it is incredibly important, and we are truly grateful for everything you have done. You made a lasting difference in his life and in ours.

With heartfelt thanks,

Vicky, tracy & family

It felt like the whole place gathered round to make my wife feel safe and cared for.

When I first came to st Joseph's to visit my grandad in November 2025, I got shown to my grandads room, showed me where the toilets along with drinks machine. I was made very welcome and the staff was so lovely and the care they gave my grandad was very outstanding before he passed away. I cannot thank you enough for caring for my grandad

My mom wasn't looking forward to this option for her final stages of care. Only been a week and she has thoroughly taken it on board now. I feel this all due to the staff and the excellent services they provide. Well done to everyone and thank you.

The atmosphere and culture within St. Joseph's are second to none. On our first visit, we knew our mum was in safe hands. The staff were unfailingly caring and couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Thank you so much to everyone there for making a difficult situation much easier for all of us.

Our dear Mum was admitted to St Joseph's for end-of-life care during May 2024. Prior to this she had been living in a residential home and after several admissions to hospital, it was felt that Mum's needs were more complex and now needed specialized nursing care. With the help of the management team, who went above and beyond, Mum was discharged from hospital and into the care of St Joseph's very quickly and efficiently. When Mum arrived at St Joseph's, she received a warm welcome from all staff and we immediately felt reassured that she was in professional, compassionate and safe hands. We found the care at St Joseph's simply exceptional. She was treated with patience and dignity by all staff, throughout her stay. As Mum approached the end of her life the skill and knowledge of the nursing team ensured Mum was kept comfortable and pain-free and the family supported and informed at every stage of Mum's final journey. We will never forget, thank you all.

My mum only spent three days at St Joseph’s before she sadly passed away, but I could not have imagined how beautifully she was cared for by the staff there. My mum was treated with the utmost dignity and respect and the staff went above and beyond to make myself and other members of our family feel supported and informed every step of the way of this very sad end of Mum's journey. Thank you so much, your care and support will never be forgotten.

When walking into St Joseph's for the first time, I had a sense of tranquillity and was greeted with respect from all members of staff. I could not have placed my husband in safer hands; he was loved and respected by all who looked after him. We, as a family, cannot thank them enough and highly recommend St Joseph's as the best care home for your loved ones. He was in St Joesph's from 31.01.2020 - 25.04.2023.

My mother-in-law was sent to St Joseph's from the hospital with heart and kidney failure to receive palliative care. Although she was only there six days before her passing, her care here was second to none. The staff are so very kind and friendly and extremely professional. The building itself has a very welcoming feel and is spotlessly clean. My mother-in-law's room was spacious and full of natural light overlooking a lovely garden. I cannot thank the staff here enough for making my mother-in-law's inevitable passing peaceful, calm and dignified.

It was an absolute pleasure to know the staff at St Joseph's. Everyone, at all stations, was kind, caring and considerate not only to my late husband but also to me. They looked after me whilst I spent my last hours with him. The cleanliness is remarkable in such a large building, and the food is second to none. I can't praise St Joseph's enough.

I can't praise the staff here enough for the care, kindness and respect they showed to my dad in his final days and to me and my brother, who were basically with him 12-13 hours a day, sometimes even overnight, as he was on end-of-life care. It gave us so much comfort knowing he was in good hands, and it was a real blessing that he ended up at St Joseph's Convent. There really are no words to say how truly grateful we are to you all.

Mum was admitted as a palliative care patient following 13 weeks in the hospital. On admission, her face lit up, and we saw a big difference - she was so happy. The staff were so caring. Mum was admitted to a hospital several times but was always so glad to return. Sadly she had to return to the hospital, where she passed. Her last wish was to spend her final days at St Joseph's, but she was too frail. Thank you for giving her a new life, be it all too brief.

I cared for my wife for six years as she had succumbed to dementia. She developed pneumonia, which caused her to decline further and faster. It was now obvious she was beyond my carer skills. I was very reluctant to place her in care. My comment was tangible, but I was so very reassured by the total care provided with love and dedication by St Joseph's.

My wife became a resident in St Joseph's in March 2021. She had a fractured hip and vascular dementia. Initially, she had severe pain until the staff on advice changed her medication. She was on completed bed tet as she was unable to sit up. For someone who was confined to bed and did not have a bed sore is a testament to the care she received. As an ex-nurse of 50 years, I cannot praise this home highly enough and would recommend St Joesph's to everyone considering going into care.

My wife has been in St Joseph's for two months now since suffering from a stroke. We chose St Joseph's based on recommendations from friends and family. CQC reviews are good, and daily extended visiting has proved all reports are right. The standard of care, quality, empathy and professionalism is exceptional. When your GP says she would place her mother in St Joseph's without question. There really is nothing better than can be said.

It was an obviously caring environment; the staff came across as enjoying their job and genuinely caring about those they looked after. The environment is clean, comfortable and welcoming. The gardens are outstanding - a lovely place for residents. During Mum’s final days, the staff were outstanding and a comfort to her family. I can only say a huge Thank you.

I was cared for by carers very well. Food was excellent and lots of it. They took me in when I wasn't well and gave me hope, and I was served well, and I'm grateful to them and their kindness.

Recipient and staff very friendly and helpful. Every where was clean and the sir fresh. I felt my wife was in very good care and was safe! My own health stopped me from being able to care for her, so I was pleased to see that she could not be better cared for.
