My uncle came to St. Edith's initially on respite but then becoming a permanent resident. He seems to have thrived since his arrival and we are extremely pleased with the care and support he is getting. The staff at the home have all been excellent, always very friendly, approachable and helpful.

Clearly, a very professionally managed home.
The manager (Joanna) was always available with a smile and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, taking time to answer our questions and concerns. She was smart, professional and friendly.
I was not overly familiar with a care home environment, and had only limited knowledge of what to expect. All I can say is that I would recommend St Edith's Court without hesitation.

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.

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.
My mum has really thrived since having in and has made a real recovery as she came here from hospital. It is great to see her happy and laughing again. The care here is excellent, very caring and friendly with lots of activities. Excellent!

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...
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.

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

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.
Thank 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.

My father enter St Edith's in the respite room after a months stay in hospital after getting stuck in bath. Prior to this he was completely independent at 92 years old. Finding that he now needs assistance with daily tasks has been a shock for him as well as us. The staff who have cared for him have been wonderful and treated him with respect and dignity. We have now got him there full time in a room of his own and he seems to be slowly settling in. St Edith's came highly recommended by several friends who had relatives there in the past and it has not disappeared.
The overall atmosphere in the home is excellent. The staff are professional, friendly and welcoming. Catering arrangements and cleanliness are first class. Decoration standards are very good and make the home bright and welcoming.

I am so happy that I found this little gem of a care home. It truly is a caring home from home. I was so worried about using a respite home for my mother-in-law and the staff were so welcoming and reassuring. We had a wonderful initial visit and met residents who were very obviously happy and comfortable and content. My mother-in-law spent a very happy week with caring staff that couldn't do enough for her and even checked her throughout the nights bringing her tea if she wanted it. She loved the food too! The diamonds in St Edith's are the amazing staff; forever cheerful, helpful, loving and caring, working so hard to ensure the happiness and well-being of the residents. She even joined in with social activities and came home looking like a glamour girl after having her hair done there! Thank you so much to everyone. We appreciate you all.
