I visited St Edith's recently with my mum visiting her friend. I was quite surprised just how lovely and welcoming the staff were. The premises itself was kept so nicely and the residents all appeared very happy. Whilst there, I observed the lovely way the staff interacted with the residents. Even my
mum commented on how well and happy her friend appeared.

I went to look at St Edith's Court with a view of a family member being a resident.
I was welcomed in a warm and professional manner by senior staff, who were very informative and understanding who has much knowledge of the care system.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The premises were clean and fresh
smelling.
Residents looked happy and well looked after.
The grounds were kept emaculately.
Thankyou for your time.

My Grandmother lives in this lovely care home and is looked after, with the upmost care and dignity. The staff are very caring and are fabulous at providing activities for all to partake in, if they so wish. The home is warm and friendly, and the garden is immaculate and such a beautiful area for all
residents to enjoy.
Everyone truly cares, and willing to support in every way.

I visited a friend last week the home as always was spotless and smelt lovely and fresh. Staff are always friendly and caring and I am always welcomed with a smile and a chat which is so nice. My friend was in the garden having a cup of tea and biscuits with some other residents and I was made a coffee
and we all sat and chatted. The home manager popped in the garden to see us all I must say she is always approachable caring and the residents think the same. The garden is well maintained and I look forward to many more visits during the summer time.

I cannot praise St Edith court enough - my mum stayed with them for respite for 3 months whilst repairs were being done at her house following a leak. She was treated with respect, dignity and cared for 24/7. The home is welcoming and spotlessly clean, it really is a home from home. All the staff were
friendly and professional and went over and above to meet my mums needs, even picking her recliner chair up from her house and returning when she went home. Thank you for all you did for my mum.

My mother has been at St Edith's for just over 2.5 years. We chose St Edith's as it is a small friendly home with the advantage of a huge garden.
The staff are compassionate, caring and sensitive to the residents needs. My mother was recently admitted to hospital and returned to the home in a very
frail state. The staff have nursed her back to health and she is back to her old self.
The home has had some recent management issues but this has now been resolved. I am confident that my mother is safe and well looked after.

St Edith is not only a care home, it is a safe haven. There is support, compassion, professionalism, respectfulness, understanding and sensitivity towards the residents, as well as the focus on residents overall well being. There are activities for the resident throughout the week, the garden is beautiful
and a pleasure to walk around. I have visited many homes in the past and St Edith by far, comes out the best. So, thank you all at St Edith for everything you do for my aunt.

From the moment I entered St Edith's Court, I have been impressed. The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is wonderful and the environment is clean, bright and welcoming. The facilities are excellent and the residents rooms are spacious and airy. The bathroom and kitchen allow my mother a degree
of independence she did not have at home and are good sizes. I am very grateful that my mother has a place at St Edith's Court. It's our first experience of a care home and we couldn't be happier with the lovely staff and care she receives.

My mother has been at st Edith's for nearly two years, she arrived with mobility problems but very alert. She has deteriorated and now has palliative care. Throughout her stay the staff have been amazing, so dedicated and caring especially now that she is a more difficult resident. My wife and I have
recommended St Edith's to numerous friends and acquaintances.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mum moved in last year ,and the home seemed lovely ,very clean and her room was nice
We were promised that there would be activities on a regular basis and she would be included and welcomed and made to feel safe and part of the home
Sadly this wasn't the case ,the management is extremely poor
,there is no communication ,no documentation when concerns were raised by us they were not investigated and we even got laughed at
After several safeguards have been raised and complaints expressed still they can not answer our questions so we have had to move her which has been hard for her and ourselves
I would not recommend this home to anyone and feel sorry for the residents that remain there if they are being treated in the same way as my mum

Review from A G (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 17 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My father in law was in St Edith's Leigh on sea from October 2024 to the 10th of March 2025. The care he received was wonderful.
He sadly passed away in hospital after being taken there by ambulance from the home.
We cleared out his room completely within 36 hours of him leaving the room.
So the
room was available to Anchor to re let by the 12th of March.
We asked for the balance of the March fee (around £3300) to be refunded on the 13th of March.
After reminding the local administrator at the home several times we are still waiting for the monies to be refunded, she assured me that the head office would refund the monies as she was unable to actually forward the funds.
It's now April 11th and no refund has been made. I have phoned the head office and they were adamant that the local home is responsible for the refund. The local home assured me that the refunds come from the HQ.
Long story short. I need the £3,300 to help pay for funeral expenses.
Still waiting a month later.
Reply from Natelie Bessey, District Manager at St Edith's CourtThank you for taking the time to review St Edith's Court. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our care at St Edith's Court and please accept our condolences on the passing of your Father-in-Law. We are sorry to see that a refund of fees was not processed in a timely manner. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me, where this issue has now been resolved.

I have found St Edith's to have a warm, friendly happy and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are kind, caring considerate and patient. Management are willing to act, assist and most important, listen. As Mum is still settling in. She hasn't attended activities yet but we hope she will soon, so I cannot comment
on those. I hear laughter and see happy faces in here and it does feel like Mum's home - warm and cosy.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for St Edith's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.577 for St Edith's Court is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.577
  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 Edith's Court is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 22 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.
