St Marys

Mum who is 93, a coeliac and suffers from osteoarthritis, came to St Mary's following a month in hospital, resulting from poor management of her coeliac condition at her previous home. We had been aware of St Marys through a previous stay for respite care, and we had been pleased with the care provided. She has now been in St Mary's for 4 months and her health, mobility and spirit are improved beyond our hopes and expectations.

The attention to managing her gluten-free diet, providing stimulation by way of the activities, care of personal hygiene and interaction with the management and staff, has given mum a renewed zest for life. The chef regularly discusses her diet and ensures that she has a choice and varied meals at all times. We can not praise the St Marys staff enough for giving back mum her dignity, and her family peace of mind she is in safe and caring hands.

I am very happy with the all round support my partner gets.

We moved Mum to St Mary's from sheltered accommodation due to her worsening dementia. From the day she arrived the care, she has had has been first class. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated rapidly and after eight weeks she sadly passed away. I cannot praise the staff enough for their constant care and support of not just mum but me as well. I practically moved in so I could be with her to the end and they made sure I had food, drinks, mattress and bedding and showering facilities. All the staff looked after us and I will miss them. Constable is such a happy, uplifting place to be.

I am happy with the care my aunt is receiving, thank you.

My relative is being very well cared for. The staff are supportive, kind and caring. The home is comfortable and clean and very homely.

All the staff are excellent and look after my mum with care and dignity. Mum is often saying how lovely they are.

The home is currently undergoing full redecoration but this has had minimal effect on the day to day experience for the residents. Sadly my mother-in-law's health declined very quickly and she passed away on 24th April. My sister-in-law sent the last week three days with her at the home. The staff supported my sister-n-law in a very caring and sympathetic manner.

My husband has settled in St Marys and seems happy and interacts with other residents. The manager and carers are attentive and supportive to me and my family. They also keep up informed of his medical condition.

In all respects; keeping us updated, looking after their needs and calling doctors, the staff are all excellent. Mum feels so safe and happy. The whole family is very happy with the kindness and helpfulness of staff. To provide all this I think a lot of the credit also goes to the manager.

An excellent care provider. Mum's needs are always met with care and dignity. Any issues are always sorted out immediately. Management and staff are excellent, approachable and part of our lives. My mum is very happy and content.

The lady with her handbag and coat on, always ready to leave. My sister is unable to communicate but I feel very happy that she is here. Working with dementia is challenging but I have now seen the total dedication, love and patience the staff show at all times. Tensions and situations can become volatile very quickly and staff deal with everyone with grace, understanding and love.

Took time choosing placement for my ex-wife who has a dementia related illness (aphasia) and were appalled at some of the homes we visited. St Mary's was a blessing and faultless, from building/layout, and staff were excellent and we had no qualms in accepting this for the person in our care (her son, sister and myself). Subsequent visits and staff care and help have been impeccable.

The staff were all very good with her and treated her with great care, dignity and very patient when she was confused and awkward. As her only son I was very pleased with everything the home did for mum and myself.

The staff are lovely they look after my husband with care and love, they are always ready to help me with any worries or problems I might have. I am pleased I found St Marys.

St Marys is a lovely welcoming home. My mother is very happy here and I haven't seen here dance like I saw her dance in the corridor for years. The food looks good and there is always plenty to drink whenever I have visited. All the staff are helpful and kind and very friendly. My mothers room is bright and cheerful and clean, the gardens are lovely.

The care and support that my dad receives at St Marys is very much appreciated by our family. All the staff, at every level, treat my dad with dignity respect and kindness. Any concerns or worries we have had about my dad's care have been addressed immediately by the home care manager in a prompt and effective manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Marys, it is a very special place!

My mother lives on the dementia wing at St Mary's Holbrook. The home is clean and pleasant. My mother's room was painted in a colour she liked. Above all the carers are all lovely caring people, who do all they can to help the residents. I would not hesitate in recommending this care home. Which I have already done.

Mum seems very settled at St Mary's after spending some time in respite care at two other homes which she did not like. All the residents look well cared for, tidily dressed, hair done etc. Staff generally seem cheerful and busy, but not too busy to help us if needed e.g finding batteries for TV remote control. Mum complains about the food, but to us the menus look varied and interesting so we think this is just her way.
