Review of Royal Star & Garter - Surbiton from Chris S (Son of Resident) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mum moved in to the Royal Star & Garter home after living for 50 years in the same house, the past 35 alone as a widow. We were worried about whether she would settle into a new environment. We needn't have been concerned - the staff have been brilliant and she settled in straight away. The quality of care has more than lived up to the home's wonderful reputation, as has the kindness of everyone she comes into contact with. What has really surprised us is how much Mum's quality of life has improved since moving in to the home, compared with living at home, even with carers and family visiting regularly. Whenever we see her she tells us how much "fun" she has been having. As a family it is a huge relief to know that Mum is safe, properly cared for and enjoying her life. Thank you!

Reply from Helena Maher, Home manager at Royal Star & Garter - Surbiton

Thank you for your lovely feedback Chris. It is a pleasure to have your mum living with us. Kind regards Helena

Overall Experience

Absolutely delighted with how well my mum is settling into her wonderful new 'home'. Since the first moment we visited to the short and efficient transition to moving in, I have been delighted with how professional and friendly the entire staff and management have been. The peace of mind knowing that my mum is safe, extremely well looked after, but above all happy with her new environment means so much to us as a family. I can honestly say that every single person greets you with a welcoming smile. My mum is treated with respect, patience and kindness too. Thank you on behalf of us all. and we cannot wait to join the family social events and make more wonderful memories with our mum.

Overall Experience

Today we had the most amazing help in attending Mum's hospital appointment. As a wheelchair user it is difficult to get to and from the hospital. We were offered the use of the S+G minibus and the driver was prompt, friendly and obviously knew Mum from social visits. It was stress-free for both of us. We felt extremely grateful. S+G went above and beyond as usual. Thank you.

Review of Care for Veterans from Trevor P (Father of Resident) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has recently stayed at Care for Veterans again for respite. All of the staff are exceptional and so warm and caring. Our son is unable to communicate but the staff are familiar with his needs and always communicate with him directly involving him. Everyone in the home seems to have the ethos that the residents are the priority and this starts with the warm welcome at reception. As well as during his stay our son visits the home for regular physio sessions. This team are fantastic who are professional and knowledgeable working with him to maintain and improve his flexibility and movement and they do this in a happy fun and friendly way.

To the managers and everyone involved in his care thank you.

Review of Royal Star & Garter - Surbiton from Philip S (Husband of Resident) published on 8 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This nursing home is excellent and no praise could be higher for every member of staff, they are wonderful. The only disappointment was the cost of the shared room my wife had. We were quoted £2090 per week for each room, but as there was only one available we accepted this. We received a 10% discount and paid £7105.98 for this. We consider this very expensive for one room. I asked if there was any room for negotation but was told this was a head office decision. Does this remain the home's position?

Reply from Helena Maher, Home Manager at Royal Star & Garter - Surbiton

Thank you very much for your review. I'm so pleased that your two-week stay with us was excellent and that you valued the exceptional care you received from my team. I would just like to respond to your feedback on the cost of your care. As I didn't have two rooms available at the time, you did...

Review of Royal Star & Garter - High Wycombe from H B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mother moved to the Royal Star and Garter in March 2022. It was her decision to do so, reluctantly, as she was no longer managing at home, even with carers. The care she receives there is and always has been outstanding. The staff are friendly, professional and efficient. They treat the residents with respect.
The changes in my mother were almost immediate. Eating regular, healthy meals, and her medication is administered regularly. She is always well dressed, hair and make up done, which is important for her. She socialises with other residents. There are various activities and outings. It is like a 5-star hotel! She is really happy there. It is her home,
The Royal Star and Garter is outstanding, with a wonderful ambience.

We cannot praise it highly enough.

Review of Royal Star & Garter - Solihull from David B (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mother is a resident and my Father was briefly there for 'end of life' palliative care.
The home and staff are simply wonderful. Mum has early-stage dementia and her condition presents challenges. The friendly staff have always treated her with great respect and dignity and the management/nursing teams are always seeking to make Mum's time there as comfortable and interesting as possible.
We could not have wished for a better place for my Dad to pass away. The care and compassion shown to my Father as he gradually slipped away was truly outstanding and of great comfort to us as a family at a very difficult time.

On a practical level the food, restaurant and entertainment are brilliant, the home and Mum's room are always very clean and the laundry service is very efficient. I am confident this home sets the bar for exceptional care - well done team Royal Star and Garter!

Overall Experience

My mother has been at the Royal Star & Garter High Wycombe since January 2022 and I visit regularly from Autstralia. My recent visit was the result of a fall my mother had. I have always found the staff treat mum with outstanding care and compassion. Most importantly Mum is treated with the utmost of dignity. Living so far away hand on heart I know I leave my mum in the best of hands every time I leave which is never easy. I am always made to feel so welcome too.

Review of Royal Star & Garter - Surbiton from Barbara R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm impressed with the quality of care and the whole environment. Particularly, I would highlight the social activities, medical care and quality of food. The staff are uniformly pleasant and upbeat, and take a personal interest in the residents. We really enjoy going for walks in the well-tended gardens, and we have used the little room in the garden for private parties. My mother-in-law rates the food highly, especially the home-made soups. The staff are courteous, well trained and encouraging. We feel lucky to have found this residential home with its superior ethos.
