Review from M J (Sister of Resident) published on 16 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has been at St Peter's Care Home for 2.5 years now and I can honestly say I couldn't be happier that I chose this place for him. My first impressions were that he will be very well looked after and cared for. St Peter's had (and still has) a warm, friendly and caring feeling to it together
with smiling and happy staff who made Michael feel 'at home' and safe. When he arrived he was poorly and frail and needed 24 hour care. I was so concerned for his recovery following a cancer operation. He has always received excellent care in every aspect and within one month he had put on a stone in weight. What a huge relief! He has gone from strength to strength with the care he has received from ALL the lovely management and staff. He is a permanent resident and knowing his future is happy and secure gives me and our family the peace of mind we need. I cannot fault St Peter's. Also I am extremely grateful for the support and kindness they show to me. So grateful to you all xxx

St Peter's Care Home is a lovely welcoming, homely place where all residents are treated with kindness, respect and outstanding care.
My mum feels very much at home here and feels safe in the knowledge that she is looked after so well.
The staff work tirelessly to ensure that residents have their
best experience of living here; nothing is too much trouble and each person is treated with genuine respect, dignity and compassion.
My mum feels privileged to live here and says so frequently - she absolutely loves her room too!
I feel very fortunate that my mum is in a home that looks after her do well and endeavours to make her life here as happy as possible.

My mother has been in St Peter's since November 24 and we have constantly found all levels of staff professional caring and very friendly and supportive, the home is always very clean and welcoming and I have found that I don't worry about her if I can't get in to see her for a day or two because I
know the staff will be doing their usual excellent job of caring for her.

Review from L B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving to this care home was a carefully considered transition. It was an emotionally exhausting experience for those closest to my grandmother as it needed to be the right establishment to meet needs but also to support the well-being of someone leaving their home of nearly 60 years plus.
From the
moment my grandmother moved she was made to feel welcome by all staff as were we as her family. The staff continue to show care and consideration treating my grandmother with the dignity and respect that she deserves. Thank you St Peter's.
Reply from Nicola Masters, Service Manager at St Peter's Care Home

Moving to a care home is indeed a big decision, especially when you've lived in your own home for many years. We're absolutely delighted your grandmother has settled in so well and so quickly and feels at home here. She is a pleasure to care for!

Mum was assessed in her home environment before having a month respite in February. Staff were amazing to Mum and her visitors from start to finish, kind and friendly, doing all they could to make her feel welcomed and comfortable. Mum was fully included in all activities within the home and joined
in with more than we thought she would. We can't thank the staff enough and will not hesitate to book another stay when required. The home had a comfortable, homely feel. Would totally recommend this home to anyone.
Reply from Nicola Masters, Service Manager at St Peter's Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending St Peter's. It's wonderful to hear how comfortable your mum felt during her stay and how much she enjoyed the activities. We look forward to welcoming her back soon and are here for anything you and your family might need!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was apprehensive about care home life but settled in from day one. She was made to feel so welcome, and her care has been exemplary. Mum has a lovely sea-view room that she loves. It is comfortable, warm and homely. She has regained lost weight and is enjoying the company of others, both resident
and staff. My mum enjoys a mix of activities, in particular, bingo, and she has had the best Christmas for years. The decorations, food and entertainment were all much more than expected due to the dedication of all the staff. St Peter's makes everyone feel very welcome, residents, friends and family alike.
Reply from Nicola Masters, Home Manager at St Peter's Care Home

My uncle has been a resident at St Peter's Care Home since November 2018, and we have been very satisfied with the care/support he has received during that time, particularly given the tremendous extra pressure on management and staff relating to the Covid situation. The general facilities etc, have
also met expectations.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.422)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.422) out of 10 for St Peter's Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.789 for St Peter's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.789
  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 4.633 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Peter's Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.833
  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.
