St Christopher's
from Helen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

St Christopher's is an outstanding care home. It has a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere with incredibly caring and experienced staff. They are an exceptional and motivated team of people who take a lot of pride in doing a good job. They have got to know my Mum and really treat her like a family member.

My mother loves singing and used to be in a choir, we were so touched that they recognised this and asked her to sing with another member of staff at the recent carol concert. That is just one example of the ethos at St Christopher's of treating residents as individuals. Visiting Mum is a happy experience because she is so settled and the staff are so welcoming.
The home is beautifully maintained with the look of a well appointed private house with lovely bathrooms.
As my mother has Alzheimer's it has been a worrying time. Moving here has changed the situation for the better to the extent that her Alzheimer's has remained stable since she came to the home in April '24.

from Debbie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

St Christopher's is a homely place to live, with lovely colours everywhere, comfortable sofas and armchairs in the sitting room and a dining room laid out beautifully for meals, always celebrating whatever time of year it is. Their Christmas decorations throughout the home are fabulous. The staff are

all permanent, well trained and rotated on occasions between St Christopher's and the adjacent their sister site to provide continuity of care and cover over the long term. There is good communication between staff on the different rotas and I especially notice how cheery and on the ball the night shifters are. My experience of the staff is that they are respectful to residents, kind and conscientious.

Overall Experience

There is something rather special about St David's Nursing Home. From the moment you enter this unique world, you are surrounded by the amazing care and kindness shown by all the staff. Nothing it too much trouble. Every effort was made to provide a family environment for both my Dad and myself.
I

cannot thank them enough for the fantastic care given to my Dad.

Review of
St David's Nursing Home
from David G (Son of Resident) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mother has now been in St David's for a period of 7.5 years. St David's is owned and managed privately, and the owners have a very strong ethos of professionalism, care, and support. This is reflected in ensuring through the selection of staff that this ethos is reflected right across the community.

Many staff have said that St David's has come to feel like their family; indeed, my wife and I now very much feel the same.
Great efforts are undertaken to ensure the residents are entertained, and the owners go out of their way to hold community events for the family and friends of the residents.
The building is old and not purpose-built, but well-developed plans are underway to mitigate this through the new building and extending it.
My wife and I have now had three of our four parents in St David's and would happily recommend it to people's loved ones.

St Christopher's
from S V (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mum moved into St Christopher's Care Home in November 2019 when she could no longer live independently in her own home. From the very first day, she was made to feel welcome. It was a home away from home. Everything about St Christopher's is exceptional. Spotlessly clean, bright and airy, superb

grounds and wonderful catering. When Mum's health began to deteriorate, both the medical care and pastoral care were excellent and the communication with the family was very clear and concise. All through the COVID pandemic, we were able to maintain contact with Mum. Over the past couple of years, Mum was on end-of-life care, which was thoughtful and sensitive. All her needs were met without fail. Mum passed away peacefully in October and even in her final hours the staff went the extra mile for both her and the family. We cannot praise or thank everyone associated with St Christopher's enough.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at St Christopher's for over 3 years and we have been delighted with the quality of service and care. She has been able to join in lots of activities and trips and has been part of a community whereas prior to moving to St Christopher's she led an increasingly isolated life. I cannot

recommend it too highly!

Overall Experience

My mother has lived at St David's for more than two years. This interesting old building with its beautiful grounds provides a very comfortable and homely environment for the elderly residents. My mother most enjoys socialising with fellow residents and staff in the cheerful lounge and in the dining

room at mealtimes. The atmosphere is very much that of a family with welcoming and caring staff.

from Sarah W (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

St Christopher's is set in a beautiful and peaceful location, full of wildlife. The care my mum receives at St Christopher's is second to none. Mum was very unsettled when she first moved there but the staff went out of their way to make that transition go very smoothly. The staff are truly very caring

in the way they care for Mum and also take time to get to know the families. The residents are kept busy with lots of daily activities which are captured in a monthly newsletter. There is a real community atmosphere, families are invited to join residents at events such as firework evening and summer fete and many events in the church including a carol concert and to celebrate Nurses Day.

from Nicola B (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

St Christopher's is unlike any other care home I've visited (and I looked at a few when trying to find the right place for my Mother). It is small and friendly, truly a home not just a care facility. There isn't a high turnover of staff, which speaks volumes and is so important for my mum who has dementia.

The kindness, care, and compassion she is shown, on a daily basis is wonderful. The place is in a beautiful setting, the rooms are lovely and there is a great range of activities but, most importantly there is a personal touch in the way the staff care for and interact with the residents as individuals.

St David's is probably the best care home in Berkshire. Set in fabulous grounds, run by a caring family team, and with the friendliest carers you could want. The accommodation is spotless, there are regular activities, and everything is run perfectly.

Overall Experience

A fabulous home with staff who are both professional but also, and far more importantly, care for each person as an individual. The staff are flexible and accommodating both for the residents but also their visitors. My mum had an easy transition into this home, quickly falling in love with the peaceful

dining room space where she could enjoy the beautiful garden. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

from Harry C (Husband of Resident) published on 15 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have sat for hours with my wife mainly in her room almost every day in the twenty months she has been in St David's. The staff all know and greet me cheerily by name whenever they see me, and the hospitality offered to me has been a delight. I have also got to know, often by their first names, many

residents and their visitors. I can and do say with complete conviction that the care and personal respect lavished on my wife in all that time has far, far exceeded anything I might have expected. The owners are regularly in St David's, keeping in friendly contact with visiting relatives and friends and organising and participating in frequent on-site festivities and celebrations. The carers and nurses know well all my wife's little foibles, and treat her with never-failing kindness. Nothing phases or is any trouble at all to them. My wife's room is kept spick and span, plants watered, dead flowers quietly removed, and electric blinds kept in perfect order. A better nursing home is not to be found.

Overall Experience

The staff went over and above for my mother's 90th birthday. Sash, cake flowers and gift on the day and then huge preparations made for her family party. Nothing was too much trouble - even the clearing up afterwards which I felt bad about as small children had been invited! They had decorated the room

beautifully- to such a high standard and every requirement big or small was catered for. Chef made a beautiful cake for the occasion. Everyone was involved!

Overall Experience

We looked at a lot of care homes when my Mother was no longer able to live at home. As soon as we walked into St Christopher's we knew we had found a special place. It is small and homely, the bedrooms are very comfortable. The staff are all kind and caring, there are activities every day and every

resident is treated as an individual. The staff pay great attention to the needs of the residents and if they are at all concerned about my Mother they ring immediately. The home is always very clean and everything smells fresh. My Mother has now lived at St Christopher's for two years and I'm still very pleased that we chose St Christopher's.

My mother has been at St David's since 2020 and throughout that time the care provided has been exemplary. She has flourished in the home with the attentive care, stimulating activities and loving environment. As her son, the home been a great source of confidence as I know that she is being so well

cared for. It has completely changed my perception of care homes from somewhere to be endured to somewhere that is enjoyed and a source of happiness.

Overall Experience

My mother has resided at St Christopher's for over two years and the care that she receives there is exemplary.
Although she is 94 and has Alzheimer's Dementia the staff treat her as an individual and specially cater for her interests, namely music and current affairs.
The atmosphere and decor is

that of a country hotel, the food varied and appetising.
The staff are kind and caring, continuity is good and we are welcomed as friends.
The grounds are glorious and beautifully kept.
Many activities are provided both inside the home, in the grounds and also trips out.
My sisters and I feel very fortunate to have found such a lovely place for our mother's remaining years.

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident at St David's Nursing Home for a year now! Our whole family have been so impressed with the care he has received. It's a privately owned care home and the owners are visible and have a very active role in managing the home! Their staff retention is amazing and many of the

carers are long-standing members of the team which speaks volumes! The residents really matter! They are treated beautifully and everyone smiles and says hello to residents and family members, whether it's a member of the maintenance team or cleaning crew! Special attention is made to provide favourite meals, fun and engaging activities, outings, family events and they have lots of people come in to provide entertainment! The building and grounds are immaculately maintained. Everyone is so accommodating and the care is second to none! It's a very special place!
