Everyone is helped to take part in the activities e.g. bingo and singing. At Christmas, she was taken out to see the lights in the town. There is a beautiful walled garden where we love to sit together in the summer.
Whenever I visit, my mum is always nicely dressed. Her room and all the communal rooms are always clean and fresh.
I was recommended to St Joseph's, and I consider that we were very fortunate indeed that there was a room available when my mum needed it.
On days when I cannot visit or if I am away, I am always completely confident that she is in capable, kind and caring hands.

young and and not so young staff but all embraced the 'one big family' aspect of St. Josephs. When Mum was struggling with her health, she had visits from some of the residents so all in all I could not have been happier with her care.

that this is a very caring and homely environment. The management team are very watchful and helpful and, when asked, happy to discuss every aspect of the patient's care. Although my mother in law's stay was a relatively short one we could not believe how friendly and supportive the staff were. Every wish or request was acted upon immediately and in between times the offer of a cup of tea was most welcome. Although she was a practicing Christian there was no overriding religious emphasis, apart from the reminder around you that this is a convent, but a wonderful sense of calm prevailed. We found that even in such a small home other patients were friendly and keen to befriend any new intakes. I would recommend anyone to this wonderful care home be it patients in their final needy days or those seeking a secure and comfortable home in their latter years.
