My mother (aged 92) has been in care at St. Marys Court for 4 years suffering from dementia. Her care has been excellent given that she has continued deteriorating and has required a high level of support. I genuinely cannot praise the carers enough, their patience, kindness and affection is exemplary. The home is well run, spotlessly clean and always welcoming. She is happy and content, whilst receiving the best care possible.
Mum was a resident on Cedar floor for 21 months and throughout that time I was impressed with the level of care she received.

Mum was a resident on Cedar floor for 21 months and throughout that time I was impressed with the level of care she received. The staff carried out their duties professionally but with kindness and sensitivity at all times. None more so than during January/early February, during Mum's final weeks. The dedication, support and care were exceptional. It was a great comfort to the family knowing Mum was receiving the best care possible, especially in her time of greatest need.
My wife has been at St Mary's Court Care Home for some months and because it has 24/7 visiting, I have been able to spend some considerable time there. This has enabled me to have an 'inside' view of how it functions. The home has good but discreet security and manages to combine good safety with...
I am not one to be over-enthusiastic in writing recommendations, I rarely do so. So I surprised myself to find that I have given such a high score, but all very much deserved. I have been unable to fault it.
Cannot praise the staff and home enough. We have our Mum back for the first time in about 5 years. She is really enjoying herself and has made lots of new friends.

My husband moved into St Mary's 6 months ago and during his stay, I would like to say thank you all for the care and attention he received. I visited regularly and was very impressed with all the activities he was encouraged to attend. Once again, thank you very much for all your help.

Ash community is a wonderful, caring place for young onset Alzheimers. Friendly, caring staff members with a genuine interest in each resident. My husband loves his time there.

My husband was at St Mary's Court for over a year. I was a regular visitor who turned up on different days and times. The care and love the staff gave to my husband was excellent. Throughout the week, there were plenty of activities for the clients to engage with if they so wished. At least once a...
I reviewed many care homes in the area before I choose St Mary's. The service and care received was beyond my expectations.
After a long struggle deciding whether to move my wife into care events lead me to the conclusion that I couldn't care for her effectively at home. Local services provided only limited care facilities. The change in my wife is the result of good care and activities was almost immediate.

My sister is in residential care Ash unit and after ironing out some initial issues, which were resolved, we are now satisfied with the care given, in particular, one member of staff who is absolutely excellent.

Whilst happy in St Mary's my mother was affected by the call button response times, especially at night when nobody arrived at night time to help her to the toilet and having to use the incontinent pants. Food choice limited due to her being allergic to fish. No set time for meals - mother likes consistency.

They are respectful, understanding and made the emotional journey we were on a little easier. We can’t express in words how grateful we are that we chose this home for our dad.
I have been looked after extremely well here at St Mary's. The staff have been excellent, kind, friendly, caring and always found time for a friendly chat. I have been spoilt rotten by everyone and the food has been superb. No complaints whatsoever.

My mother arrived at St Mary's very poorly, having broken her pelvis in two places. She was there for nursing care on Cedar Unit where the care she received was amazing. She was non-weight bearing and required physical and mental support - the staff were always encouraging, treated her with dignity, but above all kindness. She came home towards the end of March walking with a frame and has progressed to a walking stick. Thank you Cedar Unit for everything. We were able to take mum to see everyone on 16/8/18!
Always treated with respect. Care shown to residents I came into contact with. Staff helpful on all occasions I have visited the home.

Everyone at St Mary's Court are wonderful. My mother feels safe and happy, which is the most important thing. As soon as you enter St Mary's you feel welcomed. It's spotlessly clean and the food looks great.

My sister was treated with such kindness, understanding, patience and care, I could not have wished for anymore during her very short stay. I will always be very grateful to St Mary's Court.

St. Mary's Court is a very friendly home and all the staff are caring and helpful. My Mother in Law always looks comfortable and clean when I visit and when she needs help with anything, the staff respond quickly and cheerfully. The doctor is always called if there are any health issues.
