St Mary's Care Home

Staff remain friendly and hospitable. I like the option to have something to eat alongside Mum. There's always a cup of coffee on offer. Sometimes there is an issue with Mum having stained clothes or needing a change, but this is addressed promptly when highlighted. Overall, Mum's condition is progressing but she remains in reasonable fettle with a good appetite. Still think it's daft not to have wipeable chairs.

My mother has always been very well looked after and cared for. The staff are kind, empathetic and very caring and professional. Everyone here goes above and beyond to welcome you and it really does have a lovely atmosphere. The care my mother receives is excellent and I feel comfort knowing she is in safe hands.

The Council have been trying to move my mother to another residential home dye to the costs, all the staff have been very helpful and concerned for my mum's well being and offered help and advice for me in an attempt to prevent the move. Thankfully there is a positive outcome after 7 months of worry for me and Mum is staying at St Mary's Care Home. Our family is very grateful for all the concern shown by staff and for the managers help and negotiations.

Mum was given a room after hospital discharge on Christmas eve. Having met the manager and deputy prior to this we received outstanding support and help. Mum has been given the care, support and medical help she needs without questions. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their continued not only through the Christmas period but also for their valued support, informed and knowing of mum's care. We cannot consider anywhere else to take mum other than here. They are outstanding.

The staff, rooms, food and hospitality are all amazing. As a family we can't rate St Mary's highly enough. Knowing my uncle is safe and cared for is such a relief and knowing we can visit anything is also very reassuring. They offer a very personal service and I would recommend it to anyone.

My mum has been in St Mary's for an initial four-week temporary stay after having been in hospital, after a haemorrhagic stroke for ten weeks. She already had Alzheimer's and the stroke has advanced this condition. Myself and my sister's have been impressed with the care Mum has received from all the staff at St Mary's from the Manager and admin staff, care workers to the domestic staff. They have all been really nice. Several of the staff have remembered mine and my sister's names too, which is really nice when we visit. There is a really nice, calm atmosphere. Bright, airy, and clean. Nice dining area for residents to have their meals. Overall would recommend to others looking for a nice place for an elderly relative to live if they need to be in a safe place with 24-hour care.

Very nice home & very welcoming. Carers are very attentive & the makeover looks great. Everyone has been so good to us since Mum moved in but special mention to the Hospitality manager, he has made us feel very welcome and one Nurse in particular has been so sweet and caring.

I would recommend St Mary's Care Home to anyone.

The talk that we did on Wednesday about the owls and seeing the beautiful barn owl was very enjoyable.

On visiting the care home with my mum to see her friend we had a warm welcome and were offered tea and coffee. The home felt relaxed and there seemed to be plenty of activities ongoing with people taking part. We were offered lunch that looked delicious but sadly never had the time to stay

St Mary's Care Home was once one of the best, kindest, caring, and excellent care homes, and my relative was more than happy. The new owners arrived and all I can say is the once happy environment is now one of unhappy residents, staff leaving and the home is not kept clean. I arrived to my relative being in dirty clothes, their room had not been cleaned to its usual standard and they were sad due to being told to eat in their room. Absolutely disgusted. Kingsley Care in my opinion is more about posh soft furniture that is not practical for most residents, they had no respect for the original staff who worked so hard and the residents felt safe with.

Dad was 89 years old, and very frail on admission to St. Mary's. After a brief hospital admission, Dad chose to go back to St. Mary's for end-of-life care. The staff was very kind and supportive to all of us during Dad's stay. Myself and my family have all said we would certainly recommend this care home to others.

Mum has not been in this home for a year yet, and I can see how much happier she is and more relaxed compared to another care home she was at. When I visit, all the staff are amazing and patient with the residents. Mum is always wearing her own clothes, which I know is hard for care homes, but St Mary's is doing well at it. The manager and all her staff give me the peace of mind that Mum is cared for and safe. They are all amazing.

Rooms looked out onto the garden which was lovely, all the staff were polite and pleasant. Would definitely recommend St Mary’s to my family and friends. She always tells me the food is nice and there always seems to be available snacks and drinks.

My dad enjoyed it at St Mary’s Care Home. All the staff were very kind and helpful, making his stay for 11 months the best they could. He made many friends and was grateful for how the careers looked after him, and enjoyed the activities that they did. I cannot fault the staff, they were all very good and kind and always made visitors very welcome. A lovely care home.

Would highly recommend

My dad has been at St Mary’s for nearly five years and my mum for three years with him and always says to me I’m so glad you found this home. The carers are lovely and very caring and also welcoming when we visit.

My mum was at St Mary's for just over one year. All the staff were very friendly and caring. The home was always relaxed and calm. My mum enjoyed the activities she did, and I couldn't have wished for a better place for my mum. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Having visited a friend twice in recent months, I have found much to comment St Mary's Care Home. I have been welcomed by the staff, who knew exactly where my friend could be found and directed me accordingly. They were friendly and approachable, yet professional. The home has no smells of urine (which I have found in other homes) and is bright and spotlessly clean. My friend's room overlooks the garden with a big window seeing her plants and is comfortable. In fact, it is just like "home", and my friend is happy and well cared for. Call bells are answered immediately, and staff are very much in evidence of caring and assisting residents. Love that the windows in her room care be opened, but have a safety device preventing anyone from getting in or out!

A very good care home with staff and management providing a solid base or residents to enjoy their "twilight" years. The ensuite bedrooms provide the residents with an excellent home surrounding! Food is first class, with frequent activities provided. It is without hesitation that I would recommend St Mary's to anyone looking to place a loved one in care!
