St John's Home has provided high quality residential and respite care for over 140 years in a beautiful Grade II listed building. The home is set within three acres of picturesque, secluded gardens with a beautiful chapel for reflection or prayer.
The staff at St John's Home are passionate about promoting independence and providing an environment where residents can continue to enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable life. The residents are actively involved and encouraged to suggest activities, events, meal choices. Many discover a new hobby, make new friends and learn new skills. There is a varied events and activities calendar to ensure there is always something to look forward to.
The dining room is very much the focal point of the home, with tall leaded windows looking out over the lawns and apple trees so it is always bright and cheerful. The kitchen staff prepare a varied menu of freshly cooked meals using local produce, including fruit and vegetables grown from the garden.
The carefully selected staff are professional yet warm and friendly and are passionate about providing residents with personalised care in a caring, socially active and homely, supportive environment, day and night.

a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.909 for St John's Home is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.909
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Lara G (Volunteer) on Monday 27 March 2017. Relates to January 2017.
I've been volunteering at St John's for about five months and it's made a really good impression on me.
I spend a lot of time talking to the residents and they seem really happy with the quality of care, entertainment (films, quizzes, bingo)food etc.
I think the most important thing is that the residents feel comfortable and happy and everyone at St John's is really trying to achieve this.
Because of this I have really loved my time volunteering and getting to know the lovely and interesting people at St John's.
