As soon as you walk through the door of St Edith's Court it feels very welcoming and homely, the staff are very friendly and will always answer any questions, the rooms have excellent facilities with en suite bathrooms and fitted kitchens... Mum has only been here a short while but loves her room and the fact she gets a choice of foods... she feels safe knowing staff are around all the time. I feel quite happy that Mum is living here ... and that she is receiving excellent care.

I feel so lucky to have found St Edith's, I visited many other local care homes. None compared regarding the accommodation. Each resident has their own bedroom/living space plus an en-suite bathroom and kitchen.
More importantly, there is a calm friendly atmosphere with caring staff in every role. Food is good to boot!
St Edith's appears well managed, responsive to needs and they go above and beyond the basics to mark events as they crop up during the year.
I know he is safe and well cared for and we now have the opportunity to spend quality time together again. Thanks.
Our Mum moved to St Edith's in March, it was a painful realisation for both her and us that she was now in need of full-time care, however, since her arrival, she has received amazing care from the whole team at St Edith's and we are grateful for all that each person does. Our Mum is still...
Our Mum moved to St Edith's in March, it was a painful realisation for both her and us that she was now in need of full-time care, however, since her arrival, she has received amazing care from the whole team at St Edith's and we are grateful for all that each person does. Our Mum is still struggling with her change of circumstances but the care and attention and good food that she is getting are helping both her and us, we all sleep better at night knowing that she is not alone and she knows too that she is being looked after and at the same time, keeps a level of independence - for example, it is always her decision as to when and what she eats, and when she goes to bed etc. It is amazing the work that each member of staff does and when I visit my Mum or when I speak to her on the phone, I know that each person she interacts with does so with professionalism, good grace and good humour.
We knew Mum was struggling to live at home on her own but felt very nervous about mentioning a care home to her. When a room became available, we brought her to St Edith's to have a look around and she was completely sold on it! Everyone you bump into around the home is so kind, supportive and...
We knew Mum was struggling to live at home on her own but felt very nervous about mentioning a care home to her. When a room became available, we brought her to St Edith's to have a look around and she was completely sold on it! Everyone you bump into around the home is so kind, supportive and really caring. It's clear that all employees are happy and that makes the fantastic atmosphere. Mum immediately joined in the activities and spends time in the lounge with other residents. I really needn't have worried - St Edith's Court is an amazing place and we are lucky to have our Mum looked after there.
My mother entered St Edith's after falling at home, breaking her femur, three weeks ago. She was very familiar with St Edith's over the years visiting friends. She always said that if she ended up in a care home, it had to be St Edith's. I can now see why. She has been so well cared for and already...
My mother entered St Edith's after falling at home, breaking her femur, three weeks ago. She was very familiar with St Edith's over the years visiting friends. She always said that if she ended up in a care home, it had to be St Edith's. I can now see why. She has been so well cared for and already feels part of the St Edith's family. The staff are caring, happy, very patient and treat her with dignity. She loves the food and has already joined other residents in the lovely bistro.
Beware of the parking. Don't believe you have registered your car when you sign in. There is a separate sign in for parking. My car was being incorrectly identified, if this happens take a photo because the fine arrives 4 months later. Tried to get help from the home but everyone is too busy doing...
Beware of the parking. Don't believe you have registered your car when you sign in. There is a separate sign in for parking. My car was being incorrectly identified, if this happens take a photo because the fine arrives 4 months later. Tried to get help from the home but everyone is too busy doing the job they should. No complaints about the care given to my Mum but the parking is a scam!

Thank you for reviewing St Edith's Court and we appreciate your feedback. We had a new parking system installed in October 2024. The car park has visible signage installed within it, we also have signage on our front door and in the lobby area reminding people to register their car. We experienced some teething issues in the first few weeks of instalment. We have however managed to get fines cancelled for all who made me aware. I have changed the entry system for our home, so a colleague answers the door for everyone and reminds everyone to register their car. An email was sent to residents' main contact informing them of the new parking regulations and asking them to inform all their families and friends prior to cameras going live. I had a meeting with the car park management company this week to discuss any issues and suggest changes to help visitors to remember to register their car. I would advise anyone who has concerns to bring them to me and I will try to resolve the issue.

Once at St Edith’s, she was allowed to settle at her own pace, and within a short time, her health and general demeanour had greatly improved. She now seems happier and more fulfilled than she has in years and is enjoying both the care and company the home provides.
The overall atmosphere is friendly, happy and respectful, and all the staff genuinely seem to care for the residents and are readily available for any questions or reassurance we need.
It has given us the peace of mind that our mum is in a safe, secure environment where she is happy and well cared for.

I’m very impressed with this lovely care home and how my friend is being looked after. There’s just a lovely, happy atmosphere and the staff seem to genuinely care about the residents. It’s clean, with comfortable lounges, a bistro/coffee shop and a light and airy dining room which looks out onto the garden. The food is good and I’ve enjoyed lunch there with my friend. There are various activities too. Well done to all concerned in making St Edith’s Court a very nice place to live. It’s wonderful for my friend’s family to see how settled and happy she is.

St Edith's Court was recommended to us by a Community Health Care Professional. Six months ago Mum had a severe stroke, leaving her with left side paralysis and exhaustion. Mum needed carers four times a day at home. Being widowed, the decision was made to move mum into St Edith's. The emotional improvement in Mum in a short time is noticeable. Mum now has a sense of community, her dignity restored and a quality of life! The rooms are like mini flats, ideal for independence. The staff are super friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is homely, the food in Mum's words is 'fresh and wholesome' and she really appreciates the linen tablecloths! After what has been some dark days, I thank St Edith's management, carers and staff for taking such great care of our beloved mum, and supporting us as a family unit. No regrets. Thank you team St Edith's.
St. Edith's Court is a very caring environment. This home is run by an organised and efficient staff, providing a total all-round homely feeling. The daily menu is flexible, and the programme comprises of various daily activities.

My grandmother-in-law requires fluid thickener in all drinks. This is administered by carers, but also left out, where it can be added to drinks by visitors. However, there were no instructions on the labels of the thickener and no IDDSI guidance on display, leading to us making drinks far too...
I passed my concerns on to one of the care assistants and to the team leader, but rather than being met with a positive response to my request that the IDDSI framework is displayed on the wall, I was told that this would merely be “passed to management”.
I understand the pressures of the home fully, but I also understand that concerns need to be swiftly addressed and followed up.
Thank you for taking the time to review St Edith Court. Your feedback is extremely important to us. We are disappointed to hear that you feel we did not meet the high standards of care we strive to provide on this occasion.

Wonderful staff. I can't speak highly enough of how kind and genuinely caring they are. My mum is 96 years old and has been given a new lease of life thanks to them. The rooms are great, as are the facilities. The gardens are amazing, food is great, but overall, I can't believe the levels of kindness and can't believe how lucky we were to have found this home. I looked at others in the area, and nothing came close - a very happy son.
My grandmother has settled in so well. She is the most active she has ever been. There is lots going on, and she has formed many friendships. The staff are always welcoming and show great kindness.

My father has been looked after by St Edith's for about a year. When he moved in, the team carefully assessed how he could continue to carry on with activities outside the home that he enjoyed. During his time in the home, his health has deteriorated, and the staff have been conscientious and concerned to make sure that he is getting the right treatment. We live some way away from the care home and the staff at the home are excellent at keeping us aware of any concerns. My father often says that he is happy at the home and very well looked after, and he has made the transition from living independently to being cared for happily. We are grateful to the staff at the home for the care and affection they show him.
There are plenty of activities and our mother likes watching others even though she is a bit old to join in most of the activities.
