Trying to arrange care for my sister from 500 miles away was not easy. St W's and the management team made it an experience that was reassuring and effective. Since initial respite care my sister has settled in to full residency with success, she feel safe, secure and care for my daily phone calls to
my sister reveal a staff and care team that are genuine and personable- my sister's opinion and delight.

Thank you, you really did have a challenge making such important decisions from such a distance. I am delighted that the team supported you well and even more delighted that your sister has settled in and become an important new member to our Nellsar family.

My Mum has been at St Winifred's since January. She has dementia and is bed-bound, but since day one, the staff have done everything they can to make life for her as good as it can be. They are always very cheery, caring and helpful and open to suggestions from us.
There are so many activities on offer
for the residents, and despite my Mum's difficulties, they try to include her in as much as possible. I am so grateful for her care at St Winifred's and would recommend it to anyone.

We live in California and this was the first time we saw my grandma at St Winifreds. It seems that she is exceptionally well taken care of. Wehn we visit she is out of her room, sitting in the sun. She is regularly offered snacks and refreshments. The staff go above and beyond to ensure she is comfortable
and happy. Furthermore, they have made our visits with her so happy and welcomed us into the home too. We really appreciate it!

The summer BBQ in June was a wonderful afternoon, unfortunately dad couldn't attend as he is bed bound but he still enjoyed the wonderful food on offer. Mum and I had a lovely time in the sunny garden, the chefs and staff done an amazing job with the food on offer, there was even an icecream van for
a lovely 99, everyone was well fed and watered with a glass or two of lovely Pimm's there was also live music for a singalong. A big Thankyou to all staff who worked so hard to give the residents a beautiful afternoon

Another lovely meeting with my aunt at St Winifreds. I always find her happy and well cared for. I booked to have lunch with her in their dining room. The food is plentiful, tasty and well presented. On Friday a BBQ was organised, with all residents taken out to the beautifully decorated garden. Plenty
of shade and refreshing summer drink on offer! Well done everybody.

I am SO pleased that my brother has a room at St WInifreds. His situation at home was becoming untenable and St Winifreds has provided the care he needs. He is now eating and sleeping well, has his nursing needs cared for, and I feel that he has his sense of humour back.

We were struggling as a family to provide sufficient care and support as Mum's mental capacity deteriorated.
Her admission to St Winifreds has taken away a lot of stress for all concerned. After 4 weeks Mum is still finding it difficult to adapt to her new living arrangements but we continue to hope
that she will settle down soon!

Following a very difficult and stressful period of time, we were fortunate to find a room available in St Winifreds. All the staff have been so kind and caring which has played a major role in helping me to quickly settle in and get used to the routines and all that is available to me. I can't emphasize
enough how much myself and my family needed this.
My room is like a bedroom at home and is such a massive improvement to a room in a hospital. I do not mean to criticise the hospitals, as they have a different role to play.

Thank you so much for leaving your review. As an ex-carer, you will know only too well that staff do not always get the appreciation they deserve so this is a welcome tribute.

My mum was a resident of St Winifreds Care Centre for a couple of months. She arrived not very enthusiastic but soon settled in and enjoyed the social element of this lovely home. Her care was outstanding. She enjoyed a very varied menu with the food fresh on site. Sadly Mum passed and she was treated
with care and dignity. I can't thank St Winifred's carers and staff enough.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dear mum. I am so delighted that your experience and of course your mum's experience, was so positive. Your feedback is great to hear as it helps us appraise our service, give lovely feedback to the staff and very importantly it helps the people currently looking for care placements choose with confidence. Wishing you and your family well.

On a visit to see family members today, the whole experience was wonderful. I left my mother sitting in the car nearby while I went to see if I could park there. I met a young carer outside who couldn't have been more helpful and took me to the office where the charming lady in admin sorted me out.
We had a lovely time with our family, who were obviously happy and well cared for in a very nice double room. We had a great time catching up and hope to go back in a couple of weeks.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) out of 10 for St Winifreds Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.668 for St Winifreds Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 374 Ratings = 4.668
  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 Winifreds Care Centre is based on 32 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
