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 he receives.
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...
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.
If you are lucky...
If you are lucky enough to have your Mum or Dad to live here you’ll be happy as well.
Staff look after my mother very well. She recently had a fall and broke her ankle, she’s been brought back to good health by good care at the home. Day activities are good and stimulating.

When my Mum reached the age of 101, it became clear to the family that the time had come where she could no longer look after herself and she didn't want to be left alone.

When my Mum reached the age of 101, it became clear to the family that the time had come where she could no longer look after herself and she didn't want to be left alone. We started to look into care homes in the area and visited a number, some of which we found to be very questionable. Our cousin recommended that we give St Edith's Court a visit as she knew a resident there and said how she was very happy there. We made an appointment and met the manager, she showed us around and we immediately felt that this was ideal for our Mum to spend the rest of her life. At the time there was no room vacant apart from the respite room so we moved Mum in while they were decorating and carpeting her own room. Mum has now settled in after 5 months and we, as a family, know that she is safe and extremely well looked after and cared for by the excellent staff. We would highly recommend that if you are currently in the same situation you contact St Edith's in Leigh on Sea.
My sister moved into St Edith's Court just over a year ago, understandably a little apprehensive but didn't take her long to settle in, everybody was kind and considerate nothing was too much trouble.

My sister moved into St Edith's Court just over a year ago, understandably a little apprehensive but didn't take her long to settle in, everybody was kind and considerate nothing was too much trouble. I feel sure my sister wouldn't want to live anywhere else as she likes to join in with everything going on within the home. Not long after she moved in, my mum joined St Edith's Court who was adamant she wasn't going into a home but, unfortunately, she could no longer care for herself. She soon settled and loved it even saying to me she wished she had done it sooner. Mum didn't have long at St Edith's Court, unfortunately, she passed away at the age of 90, but I couldn't fault the care she received, equally the same for my sister, she loves it
Our Mum passed away in April 2018. Despite being extremely busy, the staff cared for her extraordinarily well, meeting even her intimate needs with a smile and a light heart.
They appreciated who she was as a person; a lady who loved a laugh and they treated her accordingly, having a giggle...
Our Mum passed away in April 2018. Despite being extremely busy, the staff cared for her extraordinarily well, meeting even her intimate needs with a smile and a light heart.
They appreciated who she was as a person; a lady who loved a laugh and they treated her accordingly, having a giggle with her whilst still being respectful and preserving her dignity, which demonstrated not only their empathy but also their skill at recognising her needs at that time.
We understand that caring isn't the most glamorous or well-paid job, we did our research and saw first hand what bad care and slovenly staff looked like in other care homes.
However, the carers at St Edith's never acted like that, we could tell they wanted to be there and it was clear they loved doing what they were doing.
We would recommend St Ediths to anyone, whether suffering from dementia, or, as was in my Mum's case, just physically not able stay in their own home any longer.
Very nice, friendly, professional, clean home and will look to put my name on the waiting list. I would definitely recommend St Edith's.
