As a family we were made to feel both welcome and supported by every one of the staff. In caring for mum it always felt that there was a strong supportive team but that her individuality was enjoyed and respected. I know mum had no desire to be in a care home but in choosing St Nicks we felt that
we had found a community where she would be cherished and well cared for. It was lovely that the carers shared her enjoyment of wearing her nice clothes and colour co-ordination and the incredible laundry team kept her clothes looking great. The communication from St Nicks, in particular from the nursing team, was excellent. Every change in needs was discussed with the family and the experience of the whole care team in caring for elderly residents with complex needs was very clear. We can see that mum had developed a rapport with the care and nursing team and I felt the same - I will miss my visits and chats with a couple of the staff members and the nurses and carers. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly delighted to hear that you and your family felt welcomed and supported, and that your mums individuality was valued and respected. It means a great deal to our whole team to know that the care, communication, and little toucheslike supporting her love of nice clothesmade a positive difference. We will make sure to share your comments with the staff and laundry team, who will be so pleased to know their efforts were appreciated. It was a privilege to care for your mum, and we send our very best wishes to you and your family.

Mum spent 16 nights at St Nicholas enabling me to go away for 2 glorious weeks with my husband. We could do this because we knew Mum would be safe and looked after. The standard of care is high - all staff members are friendly and approachable- really skilled in forming new relationships quickly. In
a short time Mum became really fond of all the staff working with her. Mum's needs are complex - she has bowel cancer and needs a low residue diet and once everyone understood what that looked like in practice, she was able to have tasty meals.
There are varied daily activities which you can join in with and which Mum thoroughly enjoyed.
However good a team is they can't function fully without good leadership. St Nicholas is very very well led. The ethos, values and committment of all are clear as soon as you enter the building.

My relative is happy, cared for and loved and respected at St Nicholas House. Her words 'I love it here, there's always something to do.". The respect and care and attention I have witnessed is nothing more than excellent. Watching the interaction between staff and residents, reflects an adult caring
and person-centred environment where the best is brought from individuals. Thank you for your wonderful care.

We’ve been very pleased with the care Mum received at St Nicholas, the staff are thoughtful, and the atmosphere is calm and warm. When Mum is poorly, the nurse is very responsive, and communication with the care staff is excellent. The activities are fantastic, and the home is well-organised. The activity
staff, as well as the manager, deputy and receptionist, have been amazing at helping to settle in Mum and welcoming in family members and visitors; we’re all very grateful.

Mum moved into St Nicholas House in November following a long spell in the hospital where she was very unwell. Since moving to St Nicholas House, she has been made to feel so welcome, and the staff are all so lovely. Mum's mental health has improved, and following wonderful care, her bed sores have
either cleared up or got a lot smaller. Mum really enjoys the food and having her hair done by a visiting hairdresser each week. The activities coordinator is wonderful and painted Mum's nails as part of a pamper morning; Mum has never had her nails painted, ever! Activities take place every day. Mum doesn't always want to get out of bed, but the staff are good at trying to encourage her to get out. I can't fault St Nicholas House or the care my mum receives.

Mum has lived at St Nicholas for nine months now, and we are extremely grateful and thankful for the very high standard of care that happens for the great majority of the time. The care, environment, food and general well-being of the residents are first-class. In particular, the activities staff are
just fab - something on offer nearly every day of the week. We feel very strongly that our views and wishes are listened to. The manager does a very good job of leading her team. It is s compliment to the staff that they attend many of the resident's activities during their own time.
The best care home in our locality.

Mum’s room is so lovely. We took all her pictures and photos she had at home to make it familiar to her. She’s made friends with a lot of the people in the home. The carers are lovely to her and she’s always clean and tidy. Although she’s only able to use one hand, she likes watching the activities.
The manager is very friendly.

Since Nan moved to St Nicholas House, she has been warmly welcomed by all the staff, care, nursing and admin staff. Nan has been assisted to join in the large variety of activities. Nan enjoys the food, and there are always lots of options. The care home staff have been extremely accommodating and helpful.
We are very pleased with Nan’s care.

My mother has been in St Nicholas House since April 2019. Being the eldest of four sons and as a family together, it was hard considering how independent our mother has always been. We can honestly say that Mum could not have been anywhere very than "St Nicholas", given the circumstances. Management,
staff and facilities have been first class. During the Covid restrictions, the staff have been like family to Mum, and as a family, we owe all staff at "St Nicholas" a debt of gratitude.

My father is loved and very well cared for. He is always shaven, and his nails and hair are kept neat and tidy. He always looks happy when he sees any of the carers. We are informed immediately if there are any health concerns. Visiting is easy and pleasurable, especially in the garden in the summer.
