We visited my relative on 22nd November. It happened to be entertainment afternoon and we were invited to have lunch with our relative and other patients. This proved to be an excellent afternoon with patients and staff thoroughly enjoying it all. The atmosphere proved to be very good indeed. Patients who were able to get up with the help from staff enjoyed a little dance. Everyone enjoying the afternoon. We were sorry to leave at the end of our visit.
Many thanks for your review. We realise the importance of a full and varied activities programme. That was the first time that particular entertainer had visited us and we have already booked him to visit again. It was lovely to see so many residents and staff up and dancing as well as some relatives.
So far, I am absolutely delighted with everything. Knowing that my mother is in such safe hands in terms of care, comfort, welfare and socialising, has relieved me of enormous worry and stress and provided her with a safe and nurturing...
So far, I am absolutely delighted with everything. Knowing that my mother is in such safe hands in terms of care, comfort, welfare and socialising, has relieved me of enormous worry and stress and provided her with a safe and nurturing environment. My family and I are made welcome to visit at any time, just like being at home.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. Although first and foremost are our residents' needs, we realise that this can be a difficult and stressful time for family members also. It is good to know that we are making a difference in your lives as well.

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.

It was lovely to hear that you feel your mother has settled into life at St Dominics and it is very rewarding for our staff to read your comments regarding the care they deliver.

Thank you for reviewing our home. It was lovely to hear that you feel your mother has settled into life at St Dominics and it is very rewarding for our staff to read your comments regarding the care they deliver. I hope your review will help others, faced with similar circumstances, to learn that there is genuine kindness, care and attention to be found within a care home setting such as ours. Your mother is a wonderful addition to our home and we shall continue to manage the families’ communication with her in the various forms suggested, to ensure the continuing health and wellbeing of your mother and her extended family.
My mother has been resident for well over two years. She has dementia but has really enjoyed her time here and has a great relationship with her carers. All the residents are different characters, some more demanding than others, but I think they are well looked after by a dedicated staff.

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always so nice to hear about good experiences, especially about the relationships that are formed with the carers. It really does show them that their hard work and dedication is appreciated.
I cannot fault the housekeeping staff. If I have a problem and mention it to management, it is dealt with promptly.

Your mother and her family and friends promote and support the home in so many welcoming ways which enriches the lives of the residents living here for which we are grateful.
I have always found the management and staff are excellent. Having been to other homes before St Dominics Residential Home, I found St Dominics Residential Home was at the top.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are so pleased to hear that you feel your relative has real choice and he is living relatively independently. We also appreciate your lovely comments regarding our hard-working staff.
When my mother comes in for respite, she is very happy with the care she receives and the staff make her feel welcome.

Although I know my mum could be "difficult" at times she could not have been shown more care and love during her final few days and was shown dignity and respect by all. Thank you.

Thank you for your lovely review. Despite your mother being known locally as ‘the yellow peril’ for her scooter escapades before joining us at St Dominics, we have nothing but joyful memories of her time here.Thank you for your kind comments, our staff will be touched, but your mother taught us so much from her tenacity, humility and faith that we became better people for having known and cared for her.
My mother was very well cared for by St Dominics Residential Home for the four years prior to her death. She enjoyed the happy environment of the home and the end of life care and support to her and myself was exceptionally good.

Thank you for your review. We have such fond memories of your mother who adored being able to walk around our gardens. We hope you will agree that your mother’s life changed for the better after coming to St Dominics and we feel privileged to have been party to that. Caring for your mother and supporting her family was made easy by your kind and supportive attitude towards the home and staff.
My mum settled very quickly at St Dominics. The caring, friendly, happy atmosphere at the home has proved to us that this is the best place for my mum. We are extremely grateful to the lovely staff for giving us peace of mind, we know that mum is very happy and receiving first class care.

Thank you for your lovely touching review. Your mother is a joy to care for and we are pleased that her health is stabilising. We are so pleased that you have found the atmosphere conducive to your mother’s wellbeing and that the care your mother is receiving has put your mind at rest.

This is an older, independently owned care home which is run for profit so staffing levels are maintained with this in mind. The room I am familiar with and the home overall is a little dated but is quite adequate and kept in a good state of repair. Everyone I am familiar with, carers, management, office, kitchen and cleaning staff are all friendly, professional and keen to do their jobs in a caring fashion. I have had lunch at the home several times and the food has always been excellent, comparable with a good restaurant.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We were a little disheartened to read your initial comment but are pleased to read that overall you are happy with the care provided for your mother. Our staffing levels are based on the dependencies of the residents in our care and we are well above that figure. The proprietors’ primary concern is always with the resident and the business must remain in profit to ensure their ongoing care requirements are met.

Activity programme is varied, well thought out and fun. Since being at St Dominics, my father's well-being has improved 100%. I cannot recommend St Dominics more. It is a fantastic care home.
What a lovely review. Thank you. We hope this will show our staff, across all departments, that they are appreciated and getting the care right for your dad. Obviously, our primary concern is your dad but meeting family’s expectations is also important to us and we are pleased you have voiced this. We are very excited to share in your dad’s forthcoming birthday celebrations.
