St Margaret's Residential Home

A lovely little care home just off Sidcup High street. My brother has settled in there really well since moving earlier in the summer. He gets far more interaction and attention than in his previous care home and has responded well. Staff are lovely and welcoming. My brother is putting on weight not least due to the food being more appetising. Lots of things to do and be involved with and they include relatives in what it planned going forward. Lovely gardens to sit out in and spacious bedroom with good dual aspect views.

Thank you to everyone involved with St Margaret's for making both Mum and my life easier.

A big thank you to the staff at St Margaret's. I am very grateful for the care given. My husband is very happy here.

Lots of effort goes into the care of the residents, making them feel comfortable and making every effort to engage them in various activities and events which our relative always seems to like...glad to have found this place...

The atmosphere is always welcoming.. The cook does a great job, food is lovely and mum looks healthier since she's been here.

Mum was assisted in being showered and dressed every day. She used to say that if someone told her 2 months ago, she would be showered and dressed by a man, she wouldn't believe them. It turned out that one of her favourite carers was a man, but he made her laugh so she wasn't embarrassed. She took part in activities, which she really enjoyed. She sat in the garden and chatted with her new friends. She even put on a little weight. When she got really ill, they could have said she had to go to the hospice, but she desperately wanted to stay there. So, the palliative team supported her at the home. The St Margarets staff looked after her with such care and compassion, we will never be able to thank them enough. We still visit as we cannot say goodbye.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about St Margaret's Care Home! The staff here are truly exceptionally caring, attentive, and dedicated to providing the best possible care. The facilities are incredibly personal and welcoming, making it feel like a true home rather than just a care facility. My nan has been staying here for a little while now, and I am thrilled with how happy and healthy she looks. The team at St Margaret's goes above and beyond to ensure every resident is comfortable and content. I would 100% recommend St Margaret's Care Home to anyone looking for somewhere safe, caring and loving.

If you are looking for a care home, then look no further. I would 100% recommend anyone placing their loved one in the care of the people at St Margaret’s.

Looking for a care home is such a personal decision, and when we viewed others, they just didn’t feel right, but St Margaret’s felt like home. It felt like a place where I was happy to bring my own children, a place where I felt relaxed and a place where I felt the residents were cared for and happy. The atmosphere is relaxed, often with music playing, always warm and welcoming; this is not a spa hotel care home, this is a warm hug care home, a place where residents feel loved and little details matter. Like your favourite pair of slippers, it offers comfort and security to its 23 residents as they slow down their pace of life. The manager cares so much about each and every one of her residents, and this is also true of her staff. My grandad particularly loves one member of staff, who is an absolute legend in the way he treats the residents like they are his own grandparents. What more can I say, thanks so much for taking care of one of my favourite people.

Five stars all-round.

My sister and I would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, all of the wonderful staff at St Margaret's for their compassion and care that they have shown our mum. Our mum was showered with love, treated with the utmost respect, always treated with such dignity, was spotlessly clean and very happy. If you are looking for a care home, look no further, it's home from home. The food is home-made and delicious! I would always come away knowing that Mum was in such great care. Thank you to the manager, senior carer and everyone else involved, absolute stars.

My friend has been here for nearly a year, and she says it's the happiest she has been for years. Everybody is friendly and helpful - a good welcome is always received. Her overall appearance, weight and outlook have improved 100%. This is a small home, but everyone seems happy and content.

Mym has settled into St Margaret's really well. The staff are lovely and really helpful. Mum really likes the staff, and they have helped her to settle. Her bedroom is very clean and decorated nicely with nice furniture. There is a lovely garden. The food choices are varied. I am very grateful for the care Mum is receiving.

I cannot thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind that my aunt's care is first class.

Dad has been in the care of St Margaret's for 8 months now. He has been very happy there and has joined in with the many activities provided, especially the singing and dancing. It is obvious the moment you walk through the door that this is a happy and comfortable place to live. Dad took a while to settle but now tells me that this is his home and the people there are his family, which is peace of mind for me. St Margarets is very clean, and the staff work extremely hard to ensure that the residents are kept clean and well dressed. Sadly Dad's health is now declining, but he is receiving the very best of care from people he has come to love and trust. If your loved one is going to St Margaret's, please be assured that they will also receive the very best of care from people who enjoy the care they provide

It was a very difficult decision we made to move Dad into residential care. Four weeks on, and we couldn’t be more sure that we have chosen the right place! Dad has settled well, and we are grateful for the care and support both he and we have had. The staff are all so kind and generate - a lovely ‘family feel’ to the home. Dad has been gently encouraged to socialise in the communal areas, which he wasn’t keen to do at first. I can’t comment on activities as I don’t know enough about them. I did, however, meet a newly appointed actives coordinator recently who was very enthusiastic and interested to hear about Dad and his interests. We recently attended a family BBQ there, and it was evident that other families we met feel the same as we do about this lovely home!

A lovely place for my nan to be. Staff are wonderful and go out of their way with the care they provide. Great improvements with new management. We especially love the Facebook updates, so we can see how happy she is even when we are not there.

Finding a suitable care home is challenging, and no home is perfect, but our family feel particularly fortunate that Mum/Nan found this one.

Excellent care home. All staff were so kind and caring in the two years my mum was resident. Sadly she died in June, and her care in her final days was superb. The manager is good and runs a tight ship, and the staff are superb and devoted. The care home is lovely with good entertainment, and it was great to see Mum dancing when able. Highly recommended facility if you want your loved ones to be well and truly cared for.

I have only been a resident here for the last five months, so I am unable to give a thorough overall opinion, but so far, I have found the staff to provide a polite, friendly atmosphere.
