Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Vivien B (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
This care home portrays itself as providing 'residential care for older people with increasing physical frailty needing practical and personal care'. We dispute this. When my 90-year-old mother fractured her right arm by walking into the garden from the dining room unnoticed, she was confined to her
room.
I and my sister made daily calls to the home to stress our concerns at her confused and dishevelled state. Despite our concerns she was allowed to become seriously dehydrated and deconditioned, she was admitted to hospital due to a chest infection and toxicity from her medication. The care home then stated they could no longer meet her needs, disregarding the fact that Bi-Polar is a variable condition that adjusts and improves given time and that due to the dehydration, she had been taken off her medication temporarily. Her clothing was completely stained with tea, she had not been given a two-handled sippy cup and we had not been asked to provide one. It was evident she had struggled.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff at St Edith's for the care they are providing Mum now and since she arrived at St Edith's in January 2018. Not being able to visit Mum at the moment is difficult but when my sisters and I speak to her on video calls we can see she is happy and well.
She has plenty of activities to keep her busy and she is among friends, both staff and residents. The home's manager is providing relatives with regular updates on the current situation, weekly activities and any other news, which is very reassuring. Thank you again and take care.

Review from Sarah (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum moved into St Edith’s two years ago. We looked at a good number of care homes before we chose St Edith’s. We like the way the home is arranged, whereby each resident has their own little flat enabling them to retain an element of independence, at the same time as being a member of the community.
The communal areas are beautifully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. The meals are good and are served in a pleasant dining room.
Our mum has a lovely sunny room which overlooks the garden. Sadly she does now suffer with dementia and a lack of mobility. All the carers take very good care of our mum with great kindness and humour and she has developed a special bond with a number of them. There is a good programme of daily activities and all residents are encouraged to join in.
In the current time of Covid-19, we have been able to have regular family video calls, which has helped us all greatly. This has been organised by one of the carers and we are so grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dear Mum has been a resident since 2013. My Dad passed away in 2012 and after a few months, it seemed that Mum had “given up” not wanting to go on without him. She quickly became dependant on me to look after her but eventually, I had to admit that I couldn’t manage to care for her on my own, so
the decision was made that she would be better cared for in a home. I felt guilty and sad that I couldn’t cope and to be honest felt that Mum would fade away within a year or so but that was far from the case. The staff at St Edith's are absolutely amazing. They treat Mum like family in fact, she looks upon some of them as just that. She is well looked after, with staff showing much kindness and patience. The food is very good. There are lovely gardens to sit in during the summer months. My fears for her have proved to be unfounded and she is now in her 94th year and still very well which is testament to the care she receives.
Couldn’t really ask for anything more.

St Edith's provides excellent care for my mum, and she, herself, says she 'couldn't be in a better place'. The staff are all very kind and professional. Mum enjoys the activities, and the food, and is glad to be somewhere she feels safe and has people around her to help if needed. Today the staff enabled
mum to video call me and it was lovely to be able to see her, to reassure her that all her family are well. Thank you so much to all the staff who are working so hard at these difficult times to keep all the residents safe and well.

This home is outstanding. My mother is in her 103rd year and has been at St Edith's for three years. She would not have survived without there care and attention. All the staff at St Edith's are exceptional, and they have certainly made my life a lot easier by giving me peace of mind in respect of my

Since a very bad fall, our father required 24-hour care and has been resident at St Edith’s for the past 9-months. Cannot praise the care or staff enough for looking after him. A very nice, clean and friendly environment, and glad we chose St Edith’s, as Dad is very happy and content with the attention

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our family is very happy with St Edith's Court. We looked at eight other residential homes and were extremely alarmed at many. We were recommended and visited this home and were instantly impressed. We knew immediately this was the one and felt the different vibe and genuine feeling of care. Let's face
it - this is what we really all want.
My mother went into the respite room until her lovely garden view room became available, and she's never looked back. We had difficulty convincing her at first and we had great problems ourselves with our feelings, but happy to report this has all subsided and would recommend St Edith's Court to anyone facing the same dilemma.

My mother moved into St Edith's Court eight months ago when an acute deterioration in her health made it impossible for her to care for herself. Having been very independent all her life it came as a shock to her to move into a home. All the staff were very kind and extremely patient with her and she
settled down quickly. She now says that she would not want to live anywhere else.


My mother has made new friends in the home and loves joining in all the organised activities, which are varied and stimulating. I am particularly impressed with the dining facilities and the quality of the food. The home and the rooms are kept very clean and in good repair.
The care staff and management are always very approachable and keen to help.
I would highly recommend St Edith's Court.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.549)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.549) 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 4.5 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.549 for St Edith's Court is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.549
  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 23 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 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
    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 23 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.
