St Catherine Care Home

The facilities are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, creating a welcoming environment. I believe the food choice could be expanded as my mum does prefer food with abit more flavour as sometimes it tastes bland.

My dad spent the last seven years of his life at St Catherine Care Home and during that time, we came to see it as his second home. The care he received was outstanding-not just in meeting his daily needs, but in the way the staff treated him as an individual, with warmth, patience, and genuine affection. They celebrated his good days, supported him on the difficult ones, and always made sure he was treated with the dignity he deserved.

As a family, we always felt welcome, included, and reassured. In his final weeks, the compassion and sensitivity shown by everyone there was truly remarkable, and we will always hold a deep gratitude for the comfort and peace they gave him. We couldn't have wished for a better place for Dad to spend his later years.

We have no doubt that our loved one ,is receiving the best care & attention, in a happy friendly environment .

I would definitely recommend this care home.

My mum, who has dementia, has been a resident at the home for some years now. I cannot fault the care she is given by the staff there, who not only cater for her needs but treat my mum like one of the family. As a visitor, I always feel welcome and feel that I can chat with the staff about my mum and her needs and they will update me regularly. I feel that Mum is in safe and experienced hands.

My brother has recently been a resident at St Catherine Care Home and I find the staff to be excellent, patient and caring. There is a good ratio of carers to patients and there is always some activity taking place.

Thank you so much for all you have been doing.

As someone who was already looking after my father and very tentative about the idea of putting him into a home, I can honestly say without a doubt it was for the best. From the very first day that my father moved in, he was looked after with the utmost care, and the staff went above and beyond to do the very best for him as he suffered and deteriorated from Lewy Body Dementia. A heartfelt thank you to everyone from the senior management team to the staff and night staff for all their efforts in looking after him during the time he was in the home. He was already on a downward trajectory, but having the care, being surrounded by staff and knowing that they were doing the utmost for him towards the end was a great reassurance for myself and my family. Thank you all again for the care you provided.

From day one, my mother has been treated with compassion and respect. She’s a victim of dementia and her mood and anxiety changes on a daily basis. I cannot fault any of the attention she has received while in the care of St Catherine’s, every one of the carers has gone above and beyond making her feel useful and wanted.

This care home is like a home from home. The carers are warm and caring. As well as caring for my husband, they made the family feel very welcome indeed. We appreciate all the carers so very much. Thank you all!

My friend is a resident at the care home. He is very happy with the service he is getting, especially with a senior; she has been looking after him very well, and just wanted to leave her a good message to say thank you to this senior for the good service - the manager is really friendly and everyone gets along. Furthermore, a big shout out to another member of staff; she has gone above and beyond for my friend.

My mother has been a resident at St Catherine Care Home since March this year. It was a massive step for my mum and the rest of my family, but she settled in so easily, mostly due to all the staff there; all of them go above and beyond to make her feel secure and at home there, and I can see she happy. And a big thank you for making this transition less of a worry for me. Have not one hesitation in recommending you all.

Having volunteered at St Catherine Care Home for less than a year, I have been able to witness the close bond present between the residents and staff. The staff are devoted to providing the best care for each resident and take their needs into account. There is always a positive atmosphere to welcome visitors and greet residents during the day. The staff are always ready to answer questions residents may have and ensure that their safety is priority.

Good caring staff and management. Very polite and friendly. Very considerate when it comes to respect and religion. My mum is very happy and content with the team and facilitates the care home has to offer.

I was a bit weary about putting my mum into a care home, but with her dementia worsening, I could no longer cater for her needs properly. We tried a couple out, but surprisingly alot of care home staff lack knowledge on how to interact with someone who has dementia. We then moved Mum to St Catherine's Care Home, and the difference in attitude is huge. The care home has a familial homey feel which Mum loves, and it made the transition there alot easier. Staff are very compassionate and caring - I have thanked them many times; I am also grateful to the managers as they come from NHS backgrounds and are knowledgeable and involved with the residents. The care home does sensory activities, and the activity coordinators run programs weekly to help 'stimulate' their minds - while I know this won't cure dementia, I'm glad Mum gets to engage her brain rather than sit around all day. I hope anyone going through this difficult process has as much support as I and Mum did from here.

Residents are extremely well cared for. I am particularly impressed by the kindness and compassion shown by the staff and management. The team of carers are experienced, professional and empathetic. Very good atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend.

The choice of home was our preferred option, and we were so pleased that they have a place for him. The staff are everything you could wish for your loved ones. Nothing is too much to ask for. The medical, social and loving care is very obvious. Even the cleaning staff are very pleasant. The manager is very professional and outstanding, but also approachable. I would be truly happy to recommend this care home to anyone - even if it is for end of life care.

Having been a regular visitor of St Catherine Care Home as a volunteer, I sincerely stand by their care for their residents. It is heartwarming to see the utmost respect and dedication that the staff show. It is clear the residents feel safe in their environment, and that the care provided for them is that of wholehearted commitment.

Great team at St. Catherine’s, would highly recommend.

Doesn’t matter how pretty a care home looks, it is the feeling you get when you walk in that counts. And I got the care feeling. Thank you.
