My mum passed away on Saturday December 2nd. The care and love the staff gave Mum during the six weeks of Mum's end of life I could ask no more of. The staff on duty just before Mum passed away were fantastic. Night staff could not do enough for her or for myself and sister, we will be forever grateful.
My nan is very happy here, she always says how happy she is. If we have any needs or concerns they are always quickly resolved.

The care in St John's is second to none. The residents are all cared for very well, they have activities every day, organised sing-alongs, various parties and outings. The staff look after the residents like they are their own family. My mother has never eaten so well, the meals are very good and...
If anyone is looking for a care home for a relative I would certainly recommend St John's. Every visitor is made very welcome.
Mother settled in well. Staff are particularly kind and attentive.

My mother has been a resident since 30th December. She is a very independent woman who likes her own company and it has been a worry as to how she would settle. It would appear that she is beginning to settle. This in my opinion because of the quality of the premises and the very caring staff. Since she has been at St John's Care Home I have met a lot of the staff and from the manager, to all the carers I have to say they do a wonderful job under very difficult circumstances.

My grandparent is very happy in this home. They get days out and take part in many activities. The actual home is mainly in a good condition and rooms are light and airy. The downstairs lounge floor is looking tired and some rooms you pass in the corridor smell of urine, which in the past I've never smelt. The upstairs lounge is far nicer. Staff and family are invited to many events which is lovely. My only problem is that the receptionist has a few times ignored us trying to get into the building, as she was busy talking to someone else. This is really annoying when she can clearly see us at the door, ringing the bell! Care staff have let us in even though she is at her desk ... sometimes I like to nip in the home on my lunch hour for a quick visit but spend ages trying to get in.
I do not have access to the care home as much as I would like due to no transport, therefore, I have no comments. Apart from when I am called to the hospital after yet another accident, I do not see my family member very often. The staff do not always inform me of any problems. As I am next of kin....

Apart from when I am called to the hospital after yet another accident, I do not see my family member very often. The staff do not always inform me of any problems. As I am next of kin. I feel somewhat pushed out. This could be improved.
A lovely home with caring and attentive staff. Residents seem to be well looked after and happy to be here.

Staff are always friendly and efficient and try their best in a sometimes difficult environment. No one wants their loved one to go into care but this establishment is a safe and secure and friendly second best to home life.

The care and support for an elderly person is a difficult task for any family to deal with and St Johns have removed the worry and stresses this can cause.
All the elderly residents we have witnessed at St John's are treated with respect and their individual needs catered for.
It's great to know my father is in safe hands.
Many thanks from all our family goes to everyone at St John's for the continued, professional and caring attitude, you are special people to provide the care you do.
On the whole, I'm very pleased with the care my mother receives at St John's Care Home. Occasionally there is an episode which raises concern but that is due more to possessions and personal items than care and attention of my mother. I know she is well fed and cared for and that is most important.

My mother has received good care from the St John's Care Home and has received very responsive care when it has been needed. I have also been very happy to have had excellent communication between myself and the facility which is very important to me as I live half way around the world and cannot...
I am comforted by St Johns' care of my mother and can rest easy knowing she is in good care.
