My mother-in-law has been at St Edith’s for nearly a year now. At 96, she was finding independent living difficult but was very reluctant to leave her own property.
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.

I have been so impressed with the care and welcome given to my mother since she has been in the care home. All the staff have been wonderful and she is extremely happy with all her medical needs met. She is sociable and has appreciated the facilities and activities offered. It has been such a relief
for me too, as I know she is now safe and happy.

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.

My mother has Parkinson’s disease and found that living independently was becoming more of a challenge.
We looked at several homes before choosing St Edith’s - but once we had visited St Edith’s, she was confident that this was the home for her.
She enjoys the independence of her own flat but knows
that help is always at hand with personal care. The staff at St Edith’s are very caring, and I am happy that she is safe and well looked after.

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 thickly
for her.
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.

Reply from Kerry Endicott, Home Manager at St Edith's Court

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. We have taken swift and appropriate action to rectify the IDDSI information at St Edith’s Court. If you wish to discuss this further, we operate an open-door policy and I am happy to do so at a mutually convenient time.

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 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.

My father has been living at St Edith's court for 18 months. I have to say it is the happiest I’ve seen him since my mother died in 1991. For someone who is a quiet non sociable man, he has been bought out of his shell. He is engaging in daily activities at the home and taking part in activities he
would never have taken part in. He has a very healthy interactive relationship with all staff in the home. He feels safe and cared for and I feel I can approach the home and be reassured of any worries. Communication between staff and relatives is 100%.

We had a very short time to arrange care for my father on release from hospital. We have a bit of knowledge of care homes from when my mother needed the services. We have seen quite a few. First impression of the home was that this is the one, a feeling that is still there a month later. They went above
and beyond when trying to accommodate my father. The staff are very nice and obviously good at their job. My father is treated with respect and the communication between my sister and I with the staff is excellent. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for care of a relative. My daughter summed it up nicely when she said; I wonder if I can book a two week holiday here.

This is a well-run, friendly care home. It benefits from being a modern build, with lots of natural light, wide corridors and a standard (ample) room size. Each room ("flat") contains an en-suite with a walk-in shower and a mini kitchen. The staff always have time to stop and chat with residents while
they go about their duties. Staff give residents respect and encourage them to talk about their life stories, with input from relatives when necessary. My uncle has certainly been helped to settle in by this kindly and sympathetic approach. I did not witness any activities, but lots are listed on the weekly programme. Judging by the quality of the lunch, which I was invited to join in, the food is excellent. Staff are on hand to assist with feeding as required; they also gather feedback on the meal from the residents to take back to the catering team. The staff at St Edith's cares about their residents, and it is one of the best dementia-friendly care home I have come across.

Mum has now been in St Edith's for three years and has found it difficult to adjust to being widowed suddenly and unable to live alone, but at last, calls it "home" and feels safe and very well cared for. St Edith's have kept Mum safe during the dreadful experience of Covid, and at times, this was very
difficult as unable to see, hug and spend time with Mum, but the staff went the extra mile, and Mum remained very positive and always said they were doing their very best, and we had to trust this. We, as a family, are so pleased we chose St Edith's to care for our mum, as it is always very clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and we know they care and show her love. Given our experience, we would recommend St Edith's as the place for a loved one to be cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for St Edith's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.520 for St Edith's Court is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 294 Ratings = 4.52

  • b) 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:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
