From the moment she arrived, the team at St George's have been welcoming, caring and supportive. We have been so pleased to see how well Mum has settled in.
She takes part in daily activities including quizzes, crafts, games, music and flower arranging.
Helen and her team of carers are fantastic. They are thoughtful, compassionate and attentive, while also encouraging Mum to remain as independent as possible and supporting her to do things for herself.
Seeing Mum happy, settled and well cared for has given our whole family such reassurance. We are extremely grateful to the entire team for everything they do for Mum and for the kindness, patience and care they show her every day.
Thank you to the Helen and the whole team at St George's for helping Mum feel at home.

Mum moved to St George's from London after a hospital stay, and we were nervous about how she'd cope with such a big change. Helen and the team welcomed her warmly and even celebrated her birthday the day after she arrived, with a cake and cards, which made her day. Her days are full of activities...

My review relates to the period of my mother's presence at St George's from last August up to June of this year. During this time I have been very satisfied with all aspects of her care. Any issues of concern have been thoroughly and sensitively handled, in particular by the manager. All in all my mother is generally happy and very well cared for in a relaxed but very professionally managed environment which gives myself and my family members much peace of mind. For this we are most grateful.
Thank you for your review, we always try to make the home feel "like a home from home " with a positive approach. Helen

The staff were helpful, friendly but professional, and discreet.
After the birthday tea we spent time in our stepsister's room which is clean and comfortable.
Each time we have visited, the staff have been genuinely concerned for our stepsister and have made huge efforts to help her with her problems and difficulties. Their care and help is now bearing fruit, as she has made great progress in mobility and is settled and happy.

I have visited my friend most days since her admission just over three months ago. I have always been welcomed, kept informed of my friends progress. I am her next of kin and have power of attorney. Pauline has received excellent, kind care throughout, coping with her many needs including mixed dementia, registered blind, frail, and previous history of falls. She always looks clean, neat and tidy in her own clothes.
Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely feedback Kay. We are so pleased you are happy with the care we are providing to Pauline.
Always feel welcome. Very responsive to questions and resolving queries. Helpful whenever needed and communicate well with both my wife and myself. Welcomed me to lunch with my wife recently and the meal was very nice. Well done everyone.

Whilst still early days, Mum has settled in well, enjoys the food and finds the staff really helpful and caring.
Thank you for your kind words, we will share your feedback with the team.
Very friendly and caring staff. The residents are well looked after with care and dignity. (I'm told!) the food is excellent and there always seem to be activities going on. Visitors are always offered a hot drink when visiting, which is a nice tough. Absolutely no issues.

Mum has been at St George's since August 2024. I could try hard but couldn't find fault with the care she receives. The carers are very caring, considerate, respectful and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble. Mum herself says they are lovely. The food is cooked on the premises and is very good. If medical issues arise they are picked up on and treated. The general atmosphere is one of friendliness and good cheer. Mum celebrated her 104th birthday last year. She received a birthday cake baked in St George's kitchen, a goody bag and lots of cards. Extra effort is given to celebrate special days on the calendar and decorate the home to match the occasion. Whenever we visit my husband and I find the staff all very friendly. The management is proactive and very positive and it is this attitude which is reflected throughout St George's.
Thank you for your review. We have an amazing team who are committed to caring and making each day the best it can be for people who live in the home and its always wonderful to receive recognition for the incredible work they do.

Dad has been a resident of St George's since August 2024. He has become extremely frail over the last couple of months but the staff and management have looked after Dad and catered for all his needs fantastically. The home has a very friendly approach in everything they do and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble. His sight has almost gone and his hearing isn't brilliant but as a family, we feel happy that he is safe, warm, fed and looked after at St George's, we are so glad we chose this care home. The only comment I would make is that the call button does sometimes take a while to answer, but then there are other residents to look after.
We are pleased to hear of your experience and your dad is very happy in St Georges, thank you for expressing compliments to the team. This will be shared with all teams, we are so grateful thank you once again. Best wishes to you and the family from Helen.

We count ourselves as lucky to have found him a place at St George's. The care he receives is absolutely fantastic. The home is a lovely comfortable place, with excellent home-cooked food, and the cheerful and attentive staff who maintain a wonderful positive atmosphere. His medical care has also been first rate and we have always been able to discuss and address any concerns about his care with senior staff.
Highly recommended.
Thank you. We really appreciate your kind words & Dad is a big part of our St George's family.

Mum joins in the daily activities and has made friends and settled in very quickly.
Thank you, we are glad Mum has settled in well and you feel we have been able to meet her dietary requirements.
What can I say? All the staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble. Having the piece of mind that my dad is safe and well cared for is priceless.

Thank you so much for your kind words and reveiw. It's our pleasure to care for Dad, and we are so pleased you feel comforted that Dad is safe and well cared for here.
Lovely care home and staff. Feels more like a B&B. Always very friendly and responsive. It's hard to choose a care home and I did a load of research. I'm confident I chose the perfect place. Lots of activities. Lovely food as well.

The home provides its residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which the care, well-being and comfort of all residents are of prime importance.
Carers will use their best endeavours to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all residents within a warm and caring atmosphere, and will be sensitive to the residents changing needs. Such needs may be medical/therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and residents are encouraged to participate in the development of their individual care plans, in which the involvement of family and friends is appropriate and valued.
This will be achieved through programmes of activities designed to encourage mental alertness, self-esteem, and social interaction with other residents and with recognition of core values of care including privacy, dignity, rights, independence, choice and fulfilment. These are fundamental to the philosophy of the home which is drawn from the highest family values.
All care staff within the home will be qualified appropriately to deliver the highest standards of care. A continuous staff training programme is implemented to ensure that these high standards are maintained in line with the latest developments in Care Practices as may be laid down in appropriate legislation, regulations and the Care Quality Commission or such other regulatory body as may be in vogue at the time.
