I am very glad that I chose St Lukes and would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for their loved ones.
Thank you so much Trevor for your lovely review. Your support is very much appreciated.

My father in law entered The Oaks at St Lukes earlier this year from anther care home which didn't suit his needs. The home is lovely, a dedicated dementia unit with space for the residents to walk about, interact with each other and the staff, and to be able to go outside as they want which was a huge plus. The staff are all very friendly and professional, and communicated with us very well. Unfortunately he deteriorated quite quickly, but the staff adapted his care, were pro-active in engaging outside agencies to keep him comfortable, we were involved in decision making regarding his care the whole way. He was able to have a peaceful and dignified death which we were very grateful for.
Hi Mandy, many thanks for your kind review, it is very much appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure to have cared for your Father in Law.
Management are totally inept, they are saying they will give more training to the staff, personally I think a total management review is...
Would not put my loved one in this home again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Please accept our deepest and most heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. We are profoundly sorry to hear that you felt that your experience did not meet the high standards of care we strive to provide.
We are glad to hear your kind words about our care team's nature, but we take your concerns regarding dementia and end-of-life care training very seriously. We want to assure you that we regularly review our training programs to ensure all team members possess the specialized skills required for complex care.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you and your family comfort during this difficult time.
Mum has been in Lilac since Feb 25 and our experience of staff care is excellent. It is a friendly, caring environment for those living with dementia. We are pleased that eventually a new Activity Lead was appointed this year, and sometimes volunteers come in. Singing sessions in particular are...
Thank you for all you do.
Many thanks for your review S R. Your feedback and support is very much appreciated. Daniella will ask the Activities Team to email the planner out weekly and also upload it to our social media page.
Our Mother is happy and enjoys interaction with the staff.

All I can say is a massive thank you to all St Luke's staff for settling my aunt in. She loves the food especially and every time I visit she tells me how kind everyone is. She enjoys the various activities that are laid on, particularly the exercise class. She is grateful for the services of...
Liaison is very efficient and everyone takes time and is welcoming and helpful any time we need to ask anything.
Many thanks Sue for your positive feedback. Your support is very much appreciated. We are so pleased that your Aunt has settled well at St Lukes.
I am extremely pleased and impressed with all the care that my husband is receiving and feel that this has helped him enormously to settle into his new environment. I, my family and friends all enjoy our visits to my husband and I would add my 2 sons and 4 grandsons enjoy seeing him too.

The level of care and dignity shown to us and my father was truly outstanding and way above the level...
We visited after he passed away and interrupted Maxine the manager who was talking to a couple of visitors. We gushed about how good the care had been - it turned out the 'visitors' were CQC inspectors! Hopefully it helped with the report.

My mum recently had a chest infection, she was promptly seen by the nurse who attends from the local GP practice and prescribed appropriate antibiotics. Prior to her admission whilst living alone, mum would become very anxious if she became chesty , I was reassured that she would be comforted and was in good hands from the very kind staff at the home. The senior carer contacted me , keeping me informed of mum's treatment & progress. Mum has been very happy at St Luke's since her admission in Jan 2024. She feels safe , enjoys most meals , likes to be sociable and joins in with all activities. I would like a weekly list of activities as mum has poor memory and would help during our weekly Zoom video calls as I live a distance away. Maybe they could be posted on the Facebook page?
Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. Our Engagement Lead has the Facebook Page set up, so when she returns in April we will get it up and running.
They always contact me with issues that effect my brothers wellbeing. For example if he has a fall irrespective of whether he has hurt himself they will contact me.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Your response is very much appreciated.
My mother is very settled at St Luke's in the dementia unit. The home is clean and well-run. The staff are professional and friendly. My mother feels safe and enjoys the interaction with other residents and staff. She has regained her spark and independence which is great to see.

I cannot praise the wonderful staff who are so patient, and show much kindness and love to my mum. Also, the hairdresser who cuts my mum's hair makes her look 10 years younger! She along with all the other staff makes my mum and other residents feel special, which is heartwarming. I could say lots more positive comments about St Lukes but I am limited to how many characters I can type!
Thank you for your very kind review. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
The home has been nothing but excellent in every way. The care is top notch along with the food. The rooms are decorated for new residents and they allow you to personalise their rooms so your loved ones feel more at home. As soon as you walk in it feels comfortable and calm.

Since he went in there I have started to relax and can do a bit more myself knowing he is very well cared for.

My mother has truly flourished since moving into St Luke's. From the moment she stepped through the doors, she was greeted with warmth, compassion, and professionalism. The staff are incredibly skilled, but they also genuinely care about the residents' well-being, treating everyone with dignity and respect. Since living here, my mother's health, happiness, and overall quality of life have improved immensely. The nutritious meals, engaging activities, and personalised care plans have all contributed to her thriving in ways we hadn't seen in years. She has formed wonderful friendships, and the community atmosphere brings her so much joy. I'm impressed by the team's dedication and attentiveness, everyday needs are met, and going above and beyond to create a loving, safe environment. Knowing my mother is in such good hands brings peace of mind. I couldn't recommend St Luke's more highly.
Thank you for your lovely response. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
The care and attention given to my Mum has been second to none. I feel she is well cared for and if any issues I am contacted swiftly. Very grateful for all the hard work the staff do at St Luke's Care Home. Thank you!

My mum has been at this care home for the last year & the care home is clean & the carers are pleasant but the only thing that lets it down is communication when an issue happens I don't seem to get notified until it's been brought to my attention by another source which is very frustrating & when an investigation is ongoing we don't get updates from the department.
Thank you Mark for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. I am still in the process of doing the investigation, so at the moment I do not have any updates for you. As soon as I have an update I will let you know.
I feel very much at peace knowing my mum is well looked after by a lovely team. The home is always very peaceful and the staff are approachable. The only issue I have is with the constant heating being on even in the warm weather.

Another month, and staff going beyond expectations again. The thoughtful attention and thinking ahead to the care needs is excellent. Contact with the staff is always pleasant and informative. Looking forward to the warmer weather to sit out side in the courtyard.
