Care Home Owned by Royal Star & Garter in London

finally persuaded my mother to give the RSG a try for a couple of weeks to see how she liked it, she's now been a resident for several months and things couldn't be better. The care at the RSG far surpasses her previous care arrangements. It was a big move for her to give up her independence and move into a care home and it did take her some time to adjust but now she is so happy that she made the move.
The most valuable asset at the RSG are their wonderful staff, their skills, service and interactions with residents is exemplary. The care at the RSG far exceeded our expectations.

but daily life seems to be well covered for all.
A charming, homely ambience, noisy and informal with all Residents addressed by name all the time - a significant detail.
I enjoyed my 3-week stay; have come home for a rest ! Before contemplating future possibilities.

and the food looks varied and delicious. My mother has suffered a great shock because of a terminal diagnosis and as a result has been rather withdrawn, but all the carers and nurses have been wonderful in trying to bring her out of her shell. Overall the whole family feel very comfortable that she is safe and being well looked after in such a lovely home.

environment, the range of activities and above all the care and dedication he received from the staff.
Dad received 6 days end of life care in October. He and our family received outstanding care during what was a extremely emotional and difficult time. He was treated with such dignity and love - we really couldn't have asked for more. Also for our family who stayed with him for 24 hours a day - nothing was too much trouble to make us feel comfortable too. Thank you so much - you have a tremendous team of dedicated and professional staff.
My mother is also now at the Royal Star & Garter as she has dementia. We feel this is the only home we would have wanted her to stay in.

he was receiving excellent care.

with other residents who shared similar interests. The staff were thorough, communication was excellent throughout her stay. She was treated with dignity, compassion and care and we could tell when we picked her up that she had really bonded with the staff. We would definitely use the service again. A big thank you!

to her friends. Mum was given the opportunity to be independent and invited but not forced to join in with all the many and varied daily activities. She had a lovely room and could walk out into the pretty and well-kept garden. The home has a serene, calm feeling about it with the nursing staff going about their care in a quiet professional manner. The nurses wear their own clothes and have name badges which we thought was a lovely idea. Mum was invited out on day trips and visitors were welcomed into the home. Mum loved her room and loved how quiet and calm it was there. She enjoyed the delicious meals which were served with thought and care.

a daily basis for new problems and developments that arise. That all changed the day Mum moved into the Star and Garter. She is living her best life. Constantly discovering new talents for art, flower arranging, and singing to name but a few. There are regular entertainers who visit with great performances every week. The staff have a genuine love of their work, a real feel of caring. I leave Mum there knowing she will still receive the kisses and cuddles I'm not there to give. Goodbye sleepless nights and constant worries. I can quite honestly say Mum is living her best life. Thank you so much everyone at the Star for giving all our family peace of mind.

to my stepfather's national service. Though she had always dreaded the idea of going into a home my mum quickly settled in and actually gained a new lease of life when she found she was able to participate in some of her favourite activities such as painting and gardening there and go out on trips to places like Buckingham Palace, the Albert Hall and the seaside at Brighton. She eventually spent eight happy years at the home before passing away peacefully there with her family present earlier this year. During my mum's time at the home we got to know many of the staff members and they truly are the most wonderful, dedicated and caring team you could possibly entrust your loved ones' care to.

so touched to know that one of the welfare staff had learned about his cat, I know how difficult it is to communicate with Dad so this means that the lady took time and care to understand Dad and learn about him. Dad came back from his respite break happy, he said himself that he enjoyed the food a lot. We felt heard and respected by the staff and it was a great experience for us after some terrible past experiences with respite care.

could have been in a better senior's home.

Superb facilities from the garden area, lounge cafe, activity areas, physio room and dining room for the residents and family.
The menu and quality of meals are exceptional.
All the staff seem to have a passion for their work.
Have met some wonderful residents too on my visits to see Mum, some real characters with amazing stories.

between my father and the staff is lovely to see.

the care home provides.
Food is excellent cooked on site with multiple options, which residents can have in their rooms but are encouraged to eat together.

another care home in order for her to be closer to her family. She seems to have settled in remarkably well, and on my frequent visits during the past week, she has appeared relaxed and happy. The staff have been very helpful in every respect, which has been so reassuring for all of us. Mum can't easily communicate any more, but we sense she feels peaceful, well looked after and at home. All we could wish for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

make it easy for us all. Thank you.

prepared by the staff - decorations, cakes and a performer to serenade the event. I cannot praise the ethos of Royal Star & Garter and the care which the staff take of their residents highly enough.

over personal issues external to the home itself. There are many activities provided for the residents and the staff are very good at motivation and encouragement to keep residents engaged without impinging on their personal freedom and wishes. There are high quality external visits arranged from time to time and often visiting entertainment and experiences (eg.alpaca encounters and piano recitals). There are always refreshments available and the food, in my opinion, is very good indeed.
The staff are patient and cheerful and show great kindness and respect to residents and to visitors alike.
My sister and i both believe that she is fortunate to live in such a superb home.
