St Joseph's

My mother has been a resident at St Joseph's for two and a half years. The atmosphere when you go in it's welcoming and friendly for visitor and relatives alike. The staff are attentive, caring, always helpful and engage well with the residents. I am always informed in any changes in my mothers medication etc. St Joseph's has enabled me to have peace of mind, knowing that my mother is so well looked after.

St Joseph's cared for my late mother for over 2 years, when she developed vascular dementia at the age of 79 years. St Joseph's were absolutely wonderful in the way they cared for my mother. At all times they were compassionate and kind and couldn't do enough for my mother. The standard of food was excellent in my mother's final days, all the staff were wonderful and couldn't fault them. The manager runs a tight and happy ship and I can honestly say the standard of care was second to none. A first rate care home and deserves to be rewarded for it's outstanding performance.

St Joseph's and its excellent staff played an integral part with our family to ensure my mum was as happy and contented as possible. There support to us as a family at the end of her life was exceptional a debt that we will never be able to repay.

My father has been a resident here for the last 18 months, my dad has been happy, safe, well fed and very contented whilst living here. He has had many problems but the staff have kept him happy, warm and extremely well cared for. I would not have found a better place for dad to be after the loss of my mum. I know my dad is treated with kindness and great respect and he enjoys living here very much. St Joseph's Home has taken so much stress off my shoulders too and I will always been thankful to all the wonderful staff there for their kindness and support.

This care home is excellent. The staff treat residents as their own, nothing is too much trouble for them. My wife suffers from LBD and has lived here for over two years and as her disease has progressed she has received ever increasing care. The food and activities are fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending St Josephs to anyone.

I couldn't find any fault with St Joseph's.

Mu aunt chose St Joseph's Home when she could no longer look after herself and was there for approx. 8 months. She settled really well loved the staff and they were able to get her to do things I couldn't. The care and attention she received was second to none. We often describe St Joseph's Home as more like a good class country hotel than a care home. All staff are to be congratulated in making St Joseph's Home a great place to live. Aunty died quite suddenly and everything was dealt with in a very compassionate manner. Thank you St Joseph's Home.

Whilst the place should always be homely, but could be more like a hotel, to reflect the amount of money we pay each month, for my mothers care. I do not feel we get value for our money.

St Josephs gives me the peace of mind in knowing that my father is not only safe but well cared for. I've always found the staff and management to be most helpful and considerate.

The sadness at the home of my husband's death was eased by the comforting and thoughtful, gentleness of the staff concerned. In my opinion the work load of staff in the Gainsborough Unit is excessive at times and would have been helped having more staff available to share the load.

The care at St Joseph's is excellent. The home is welcoming, very clean and the food is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and the residents are well looked after.

All staff were very caring to my husband and very kind and looked after him very well, but they could have done with more help.

Her care was beyond reproach, given much time by carers who were always cheerful. In her last week, she stayed in her room where she slipped away peacefully; the gathered family were touched by the compassion shown.

My mother has been a resident in the dementia wing of St Joseph's for getting on for three years. Her condition has deteriorated during that time making the job of caring for her increasingly challenging. Despite this the staff at St Joseph's have continued to give her unstinting care, always demonstrating the utmost kindness, patience and professionalism. They manage to create a truly family ambience, giving all residents a sense of security and belonging. They are also most welcoming of visitors making us too part of the community.

My mother has been at St Joseph's Home for nearly 2 years and has had excellent care. All the staff are caring and treat all resident according to their needs. I am very pleased with the care my mother is receiving.

My mother was resident at St Joseph's for five years . The care she received during that time was second to none . Mum was always treated with dignity and kindness by every member of staff who collectively are a very caring and dedicated team. Our family were always welcomed with open arms no matter what time of day we visited. I could not recommend St Joseph's more highly.

Having visited other homes, I can wholeheartedly recommend St Josephs, the whole ethos puts the Care into a Care home. I suspect this is because the manager, leads with vision, understanding and respect for staff and residents, which is obviously reciprocated.

The staff are always remarkably patient and kind despite the difficulties presented by some residents.

I only have praise for the staff at St Joseph's, my mother is nearly 97 and they treat her with dignity. They pick up very quickly when she is getting a chest infection and act accordingly. The staff are generally always smiling and are always good to all the residents. I am extremely satisfied with the way my mother is being cared for.

My mother has been living at St Josephs for nearly three years now. It was her 97th Birthday on Sunday and the staff and chef did everything possible to make this a very memorable and happy day for her, my sister and myself who both travel long distance to visit our dear mum. We were given a lovely Sunday lunch and a special birthday cake for my mum. As we watcher her mental health progressively deteriorating we are touched by the respect and care given to her and to ensuring she has dignity and peace of mind as far as possible. I am very impressed by outstanding care and compassion shown to our mother.
