From the beginning, the entire team at St Marks-from management to frontline staff-have shown incredible patience, empathy, and unwavering support. They helped her come to terms with this major life change, always encouraging her independence, even during the more challenging moments.
Living with dementia brings many complexities, but the staff have walked alongside us every step of the way. Mum is always included, gently encouraged when hesitant, and treated with such dignity and respect. It's clear that she is genuinely at the heart of the care they provide.
Their communication has been excellent, keeping us informed through regular calls and meetings.
Thank you all for the care, compassion, and kindness you show every day.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very pleased to hear your Mum has settled well at St Marks and that our team's support, communication and encouragement have made a positive difference. Our staff work hard to provide compassionate, person-centred care, and your comments mean a great deal to...
My dad has been at the care home for just over a year now, he is very happy and content. All the staff go above and beyond with the care and compassion they give to him. He loves the food choices and always tells me what he has chosen to eat, he really enjoys the days out and activities available, keep up the good work St Marks.
Dad's physical and mental health has improved dramatically since being at St Marks, he especially loves beating everyone at a quiz!
Dad has full capacity and has nothing but praise for everyone at St Marks. Thank you all so much for everything you do for him.
They are always engaged with the residents providing them with good care and attention, good food and personal care.
Yesterday the staff had organised a wonderful summer afternoon barbecue. The weather was lovely, there were games and an excellent guitarist who played some jolly popular music.
Everyone appeared to be having a very good time, residents and staff alike.
It was a real pleasure for us all. Many thanks to the staff for organising such a fun afternoon.
I visited the friend of my nan in the care home the staff were so friendly and the residents were in good spirits. We were offered tea and biscuits and staff were approachable nothing was too much trouble for them they took their time to be with the resident.
I would like to say a big thank you to the manager and all the staff of St Marks care home for their good, professional job, kindness and patience in looking after our friend. Well done, and all the best for the future!
