St John's Nursing Home Ltd
from W P (Husband of Resident) published on 15 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The success or the failure of a nursing home depends very much on the quality of the staff and management. During the time my wife was a resident both were excellent. I visited almost every day and perhaps this helped. Some of the staff had special skills, e.g. moving/repositioning residents in a painless

manner and this was much appreciated.

Patient and caring staff, effective and hands on management,flexible and accomodating,going out of their way to meet the individual needs.Very good communication,the Relatives Portal regularly updated and great for relatives who can't visit every day.
All staff including maintanance,reception,entertainment

etc staff seem to be working well together and get involved in resident care.
The rooms are nicely decorated,spacious and kept clean.

Review of
Gibson's Lodge Nursing Home
from T S (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The care home is situated in a picturesque spot. The staff are plentiful, friendly, helpful and efficient. Residents are treated with respect, great kindness, and an affectionate attitude.
The care home, though not 'posh' in presentation is, without fail, kept extremely fresh and clean. (Freshness

is genuine and without chemical smells).
My Mother has been a resident for 4 and a half years and has been kept safe, well cared for, and happy throughout. Residents here suffer mainly from old age and dementia, so probably unsuitable for those needing stimulating conversation.

from Michael P (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I was the power of attorney for a dear friend who had dementia and Alzheimer's and spent over two years at Gibson's Lodge Nursing Home. In all the time, and many visits I made, I was always extremely happy with all aspects of the home. Their care for my friend was exemplary, both physical, and in terms

of dignity/kindness for someone who had a very difficult illness. Everything was done to a superb standard and the staff, to a person, were kind and caring, not only to my friend, but to the other residents. It is a job few could do or do so well. The management also had many difficulties to deal with and again they were always professional and I can only praise them and their hard work for my friend. Perhaps the only improvement might be to the physical building, which takes a bit of a battering as is to be expected, but I am sure only friends and relatives notice these things. That said, the bathrooms were always spotless as was my friend's room (and person), as were the communal areas. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

Reply from Sandra Bond, Group Operations Director at Gibson's Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Gibson's Lodge. We are so grateful for your honesty and positivity surrounding the great care we give to all our relatives and residents. A big thank you from all the staff here at Gibson's Lodge.

Overall Experience

My uncle was in the home and was cared for by all the staff. They were very friendly and helpful, and he was well looked after until he passed away. My auntie was staying there at the end of his life and is still there as she cannot stay at home on her own. All the staff are very friendly and take good

care of my auntie and the other residents that stay here. I'm very pleased my auntie is there and being well looked after. I have no concerns.

Thank you for your review. We have given each shift mobile phones to use for relative and friends call, unfortunately, due to the size and layout of the building reception on our landlines has always been an issue. I am pleased to say the mobile phones work well.

Overall Experience

The carers have treated the residents with good care and support. The activities for the residents have been varied and excellent, and have a yearly barbeque for them and their family with live entertainment. Live entertainment occurs also a few times the rest of the year. Cleanliness has improved to

what it was, with no smells while entering the building. The place is very secure, which is good for residents with dementia. The carers have also shown kindness and friendliness. It is good value for money compared to the cost of other nursing homes around the area.

from John E (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 9 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am forever grateful for the love, care, and compassion the staff of St John's gave my mother-in-law. I cannot praise this nursing home enough. They treated my mother-in-law (who died in November) so very, very well. I have no hesitation in recommending this fantastic home.
I have visited many, many

times. The staff are always friendly, polite, and professional. I always felt they were treating my mother-in-law as they would like to be treated, with genuine love and respect, as if she were their own mother.
There is a choice of varied, high-quality meals each day. There is entertainment every afternoon. On special occasions, performers are brought in to entertain. Family and friends are always welcome to these with many attending. During the summer they have large garden parties. Trips to the seaside are arranged throughout the year. The nursing home is always very clean and tidy.
If ever I need to live in a nursing home, I hope it is as good as St John's.

from Clare A (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident here for three years until she passed away in December 2019. It's very difficult choosing a care home for a loved one and I was very happy we chose St John's. All the staff, from the nurses to the carers, to the cleaning staff were all excellent. It was a great comfort to know

she was safe and well looked after. She was treated with kindness, respect and dignity and she was always clean and well dressed. My mother had advanced dementia so she needed help with everything - there was nothing she could do for herself. The staff were so kind to her and were always smiling, talking to her and being gentle. We are so very grateful that we chose St John's.

from Allison L (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Staff shortages result in safety issues when those at high risk of falls are unsupervised.
The menu could be more varied for those with dietary requirements.
Staff are kind to residents and they are hardworking. The manager is open to feedback but could be more visible in public areas eg., lounges.
Water

should be available on each tray table in lounges as not all residents are able to request this.
Communication with nursing staff is improving.
If safety improves I would recommend St John's to others.

Overall Experience

My wife spent her last months at St John's and we visited once a week for a year before she moved in. I still can't express how good St John's is, sure, they looked after my wife very well, but that's not half of it. I came every day and could see how loved she was. I mean 'loved'; it was touching.

I also saw, over a period of 2 years, how settled the staff were. There's very little turnover which is a key measure in my book and the range of activities is so important and so well prepared.

I was visiting my aunt in St John's. She is the third of my aunts to have resided there so I have been visiting the home over many years. I have always found the place welcoming and the staff pleasant. A good atmosphere, I just wish my mother has been in St John's when it was her time to enter a home.

I picked on near me which was just about ok.
