St Cecilia

How can one care home have all the best carers? Well, St Cecilia has them all. Never met so many caring and loving people.

All the staff are friendly, there is always a welcome and offer of a drink however short the visit. My friend has dementia and was so distressed in the previous home she was in but the patience and empathy from the staff has made such a difference to her. The staff are always with the residents and I have never seen any of them appear stressed or look as if they would rather be somewhere else. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I do not know what their fees are and have not eaten there and have only witnessed a few activities as I usually visit in the evening so that is the reason I have only put good for some of the options as they have to be completed with no option for not knowing.

My father has been at the home for over 3 years now and in that time the manager, senior staff and the team have always shown him great understanding and care to what can be a very challenging illness. Whenever we visit, they are always extremely welcoming and friendly and the overall atmosphere of the home gives us great comfort that he is in the right place. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Cecilia.

I would not hesitate to recommend St Cecilia.

As I became a State Registered Nurse in my early 20's I was very interested to visit my relative in St Cecilia. This I do every Sunday and I have always been very impressed with the kind atmosphere and the care all the residents receive. The residents are always looking very clean and tidy and I know that they enjoy their lovely meals. They are always given immediate attention when needed and when I leave I always feel that all the residents are in good, safe hands. I recommend this home.

From the very first time that we went to St Cecilia, we were very impressed. The welcome by the staff was warm and friendly even though they didn't know us. The whole atmosphere of the place was homely and inviting. All the residents looked content and were clean and tidy and cared for. If we were ever in a position where we need care for a family member, we would be very happy for them to be looked after there. Well done to all the staff.

I would have no hesitation in recommending St Cecilia to anyone requiring dementia care.

I would highly recommend placing a family member or friend that needed this level of care.

This is definitely a home and one where we as the siblings should never have any worries or regrets for loved ones being there - well done the manager and the gang, you've set the bar for others to follow!!! :)

I would not hesitate to recommend the home and hope my father can stay there for as long as possible.

My mother has been at St Cecilia's since 2009. 9 years. My father was caring for her at home, it was too much for him. He was fading fast. I tried my mum in 2 other dementia care homes. They were too big, my mum was distraught in them. They didn't understand how to care for people with dementia. St Cecilia's is one big family home. Only 14 residents and today in 2018 there is still a group of the same staff that greeted my mum in 2009. The low staff turnover says it all. This care home understands how to be with people with dementia. Love and kindness surround the residents and my mum has flourished there. She is happy and content. Over 9 years her condition has changed and the staff lovingly adapt their care to her needs. Once my mum was in the care home my father, my sister and I could get on with our lives again. We knew that 24 hours a day our mum was being looked after properly. I recommend this care home to anyone whose relatives or friends need dementia care.

Continued care with kindness. understanding and infinite patience in a warm friendly yet efficient environment. I cannot fault St Cecilia's in any way and feel fortunate to have found such a place for my mother. Overall quite exceptional.

They keep in contact on a regular basis and provide updates and let me know if there are aspects of my mum's wellbeing they feel I should be aware of. It truly is a care home because without doubt they do care!

Fantastic staff and a really warm and friendly environment, they make you feel very welcome when you visit and it is obvious they care and look after all the residents really well. I live a long way from the care home but they always respond to my calls or emails and let me know how things are going.

I have no hesitation in strongly recommending St. Cecilia to anybody requiring specialised care as this Home is second to none. My husband receives the best care possible.

St Cecilia's is a very special place. The home is clean, tidy and well maintained. The staff deal so well with all residents and care given is amazing. The residents are safe, well looked after and all health issues are top priority. Always a warm welcome and friendly reception for visitors. A very special home.

I would have no problem to recommend this home especially for people who are unfortunate enough to develop Dementia.

I was impressed by the time that the manager gave me and no pressure was put on me, to make a quick decision. It feels very homely, the staff know their residents and their families extremely well. They are very caring people who do their utmost for their residents. My mum is cared for extremely well and is thriving in this environment. She has put on weight and is much happier, enjoying the company of the staff and residents. Her room is large and airy but she only goes there to sleep - preferring to be in the company of others. I have complete faith in the staff and feel reassured that the right decision was made to place my mum here.

St Cecilia is a lovely, warm, friendly care home which is small enough for the wonderful staff to get to know all of their clients and families who visit, very well. We feel our father-in-law is in totally safe hands and his needs are met fully.

He is happy, clean, comfortable - we can't praise the manager and his staff enough.

Thank you.

I can't recommend St Cecelia's highly enough; it’s splendid. They care for Mum with complete love and devotion. She’s lived 7 years in this warm-hearted, welcoming, super friendly, highly professional dementia care home. Mum was considered 'too challenging' for two other homes. We tried St Cecelia's, desperate to find a loving, caring, home-from-home after our ailing father (82) couldn’t cope 24/7 with mum; an incredibly energetic, active, chatty, bright and lively woman with rapidly worsening dementia. Mum couldn’t have fallen into better hands! The staff quickly gentled her into relaxing and being content, smiling and happy, as she's continued for the last 7 years. Many staff who greeted Mum in those first days, in 2009, are still there now. The extremely low staff turnover in St Cecelia's speaks volumes, fostering a true 'family atmosphere'. Besides the loving care and professionalism we always see in practice, we’re always so welcomed – greeted with genuine warmth day or night. Five stars!
