Shirley went into the care home in June for respite. Shirley is now permanently there. The manager has been so supportive of her progression to settling in. The office staff, carers, catering staff and domestic cleaners are so helpful and always on hand if we need anything. The food is...
I would always recommend this care home and have done so on many occasions.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely review of St John's Care Home. We are so pleased to hear this about Shirley and with your experience in the home.

I have been visiting St John's a while now to see two residents who were husband and wife. They were friends and Church members.
I have not found any fault each time I go in to visit. Everyone is so friendly and helpful to the visitors and obviously it's the same care for the residents. One of my friends sadly died. He was 95. The end of life care was really great in St John's. The wife has been cared for so well and respectfully looked after following the loss of her husband.
It's a Care Home I would definitely recommend and praise the management for such high care and respect towards all the residents.
Thank you so much for your lovely words, it is so nice to hear your positive experiences with our home and team. I will be sure to share. Best Wishes, Chamila.
My experience and my family's has only been one of pure positivity since my Father and Mother have been living at the home since 2024. Chimillia and her dedicated team of professionals with caring attitudes, has helped me in what was the most difficult and challenging decision I ever had to make...
Always a warm welcome and a friendly face when I visit. My parents are both clean, well fed and looked after. The home itself is well presented and more like a hotel than a care home. Every member is efficient and friendly. The rooms are nicely presented and kept very clean with en-suite facilities.
Since the loss of my Father in February they have all rallied round my Mother to make sure she is happy and her daily needs are met 100%. I would recommend St John's to anyone looking to place a loved one in care
Thank you for taking your time to write us a review for St Johns. I am so delighted to hear your wonderful comments about our home and team. Best Wishes, Chamila.

Excellant care. My mother is well looked after and her care needs are well managed as are her emotional and mental health needs. We are always made welcome at the care home and feel free to visit. Mothers room is lovely and she has ensuite toilet facilities with access to a bathroom were she can have a shower or a bath. The staff are friendly and open from the manager down to the cleaners and catering staff etc. Food is excellant , mum says she would give them a 5 star michelin rating if she could. The activities team is excellant and the variety of activities they offer is second to none.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of St John's Care Home. Your positive comments and kind words about the facilities, activities, and your mothers care is appreciated and will be shared with the staff team. It is a pleasure to include you in the St John's family.
We would appreciate it if some kind of physiotherapy was arranged to give home something other to keep his mind active for future movement.

My mother stayed in St Johns for more than two weeks. She had the best experience at the care home. Home manager was excellent from the start to the end of respite. Staff were always there to support all her needs. I would highly recommend this place.

Can't begin to express how grateful I am that he was cared for in St John's. The staff have been amazing and so very caring. It was unfortunate that he had to go into hospital and the nursing care there was so poor that he was sent back to St John's with a grade 2 pressure sore and a canula still attached to his arm and St John's was not informed of this, but your staff cared for him in such dignity until he passed away and I will always be eternally grateful for that.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review for St John's Care Home, especially at this difficult time. Your positive feedback and lovely comments regarding the care for your husband will be shared with the staff team. Warmest regards
Making the decision for even a respite stay was nerve-wracking. Luckily mum settled and is now permanent. St John's is the absolutely best in every way for mum. The staff have made all the difference to my confidence and mum's comfort. A stars for all staff. Please keep up the good work.

The staff are all really professional in regards to my Mother they are respectful and encouraging. Mum is now bed bound and they do their utmost to make sure that she is comfortable. After a fall from bed they made sure that she was ok by moving her to another room where she has peace and quiet.

The staff at St Johns always seem to care for the residents as individuals. This is really important to me. I want to know that my Dad is being looked after kindly and compassionately. It always feels that he is.
One of the greatest assets to St Johns has to be the non-caring staff who make the "living" experience what it is. It is lovely to visit and see such friendly faces.
My only concern is about times when I feel the home is under staffed, usually weekends. I appreciate people perhaps do not want to work the weekends but there seems less presence at weekends. This could perhaps be made better if there was a visible management at the weekends too.
Thank you for taking the time to review St John's. We are delighted to hear your wonderful comments and always take feedback on board. Please be assured our care staffing is rota'd the same for each day of the week, if you do wish to discuss please do not hesitate to pop in to see me. Best Wishes

Mum had chest pain and on another occasion had a fall. The staff handled both problems to a high standard of care. She was resistant to going to A&E to be checked but they managed to persuade her to go and organised everything for her. They are very good at keeping her calm and despite her complicated needs, they are able to give her a good quality of life.

Caring staff who support my father during some challenging care requirements. Also extends to supporting the family too. This is a difficult phase for all of us. Can usually find staff when you need them, although weekends tend to be a bit more stretched.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review for St John's Care Home. We appreciate your comments and your feedback regarding staffing levels has been noted. Warm regards.
The staff are always pleasant and friendly, there could be a few more to help with feeding the ones who are sitting in the dining room at meal times, we've never been introduced to the new manager so am unable to share any opinion about them.
