Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into St Dominics in October 2021 when she was no longer able to manage in her retirement apartment on her own. The staff have been amazing, both in terms of kindness and care that they show Mum, but also in the help and support that they have given me. They treat Mum with dignity, respect
and encourage her to be independent, whilst also providing whatever help is necessary. I have been so impressed that when another of my relatives was taken ill and also required care, I didn't hesitate to call St Dominics. They have pulled out all of the stops and were able to place my two relatives in rooms next to each other, which has been so reassuring for them both. They both speak very highly of all of the staff and never fail to mention their kindness. I am extremely grateful to all of the staff for all that they have done/do for both of my relatives. They truly are a first-class care home.

My mum went into St Domonics in April 2020, and at the start of Covid restrictions. The staff were great in keeping us informed of Mums day-to-day care. When we were able to visit Mum, we saw for ourselves how kind and caring all the staff were. The rooms were always clean, and with activities going
on for the residents, we were very happy with Mum care and cannot adult the care and love she received.

Having looked after Mum myself for 6 years, I really wasn't looking forward to the prospect of Mum going into a care home, following a spell in hospital. However, I cannot speak highly enough of St Dominics and their staff, and I consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to find them at a time
when they had a room available.
They made the whole process of transitioning Mum from the hospital to the home very easy, in fact, they took care of the whole thing and were on hand to provide advice and guidance every step of the way.
I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they have shown to Mum in the 2 months she has been there; she seems very settled and happy. Not only this but when Mum was discharged from the hospital she was not in a very good way at all (she has dementia); however since being at St Dominics she has picked up tremendously and seems very happy to be there. I cannot recommend this care home highly enough.

My mother became a resident of St Dominics just before the Coronavirus pandemic. The home has been good at keeping the family informed about all the changes that have had to implement. The staff have shown kindness and support to my mother whilst treating her with the dignity and respect that we expected.
The staff have put the residents first at all times, and my mother has said she feels safe and well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother fell ill just after Christmas, to the extent that I tried to care for her and found after three days, it was impossible to cope. Mother had prior to entering St Dominics been at home on her own, saying how lonely she was. In the home, she had many people to socialise with.


Mother took a

while to settle down, but soon was really enjoying her stay. She really enjoyed the quiz's, bingo and chatting with the other residents. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, even pushing her in a wheelchair around the garden in the snow when she wanted! Whenever I asked her about the staff, she would tell me how wonderful she found all of them.


They cared for her in her last days with compassion, catering for her every need.
Whenever I contacted St Dominics, they were reassuring about Mums health and welfare.

Despite lockdown, we were fortunate to be able to move two sisters to St Dominics to individual rooms close by each other. Although we have been unable to go into the premises, (due to COVID lockdown), we have had every assistance from the staff to settle the ladies in their rooms and provide them with
the care they needed. They have been fortunate to have hairdressers and chiropodist visits during most of the lockdown, and we now look forward to seeing them in person in the coming months. Both ladies have been very appreciative of all the care staff who have been extremely friendly and helpful. The residential home has been very accommodating in allowing beds, riser/recliner chairs and pictures to be put up in their rooms from their home, together with various personal effects.

A wonderful care home who's caring and dedicated staff are a model on how the delivery of care to elderly residents should be delivered. They have looked after my father since November 2019 and he has not only improved in his physical and mental health, but they have managed to give back to us the fun-loving
gentleman he used to be. He now thinks of St Dominics as his home and cannot speak too highly of the staff.
We cannot thank the whole team enough for their hard work.

Dad is so much happier now he is in the home. The care he receives is amazing and the staff are extremely attentive.

Lovely clean, welcoming and friendly residential home with very caring staff who make a concerted effort to ensure that all their residents are happy, comfortable and treated with respect. My dear friend and neighbour has been completely transformed in the two weeks he's been here. He's put on some
much-needed weight, he's brighter and less forgetful and most importantly, he's no longer lonely! There are lots of activities every day, and it would be difficult to not find something that you liked. The tea/coffee time cakes, buns (and mince pies!) are all home-baked by the cook and they're delicious! Residents are always encouraged to be as independent as possible but kindness and help are always present as and when required. Rooms are clean and personalised... some smaller than others, but with pleasant views of the beautiful surrounding gardens mostly. A little haven of homeliness.

St Dominics helped make the last months of our mother's life comfortable and secure. The staff were friendly, cheerful, caring and showed great kindness and patience when helping our mum. The care home provided many good activities for the residents, our mum's favourites were the harp recitals. As my
mother's health began to fail, the staff gave her such special care whilst making sure she maintained her dignity. The most outstanding aspect of the care home was the great care and attention that was given to our mother in her last hours. They made sure that she was never alone and stayed with her through the night. The staff of the care home extended their support to us at the end as we said goodbye to mum. I cannot recommend St. Dominics highly enough as a place which puts the emphasis on care.

Our aunt was cared for by the St Dominic's family for 4 and a half years until her passing on 27.02.19. She was previously cared for by our uncle until her dementia became severe. St Dominic's welcomed our uncle, who was a frequent visitor most days and he participated in activities, entertainment,
enjoying lunch with our aunt which benefitted them both enormously. Our aunt was always treated with such dignity and care according to her needs in such a happy environment which we thank St Dominic's so much for.

My mother has been resident at St. Dominics for six months and has settled very well, which bearing in mind she suffers from Alzheimer's, we thought she might struggle. The staff are extremely attentive and have got to know my mother extremely well very quickly, and respond to her issues with compassion.
They do not hesitate to contact me if they are at all concerned and this has been borne out in the last couple of weeks when mum has been particularly agitated and by just calling me to speak to her on the phone, has settled the issues. A weekly routine of phone calls to my mother has now been suggested and seems to be doing the trick. Mum herself says she is happy and that if it is a care home she needs to be in, then St. Dominics is where she wants to be! Whenever we visit there is always a calm and happy atmosphere.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for St Dominics Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.750 for St Dominics Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.75
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Dominics Residential Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
