Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been here 4 1/2 years. The staff are always very helpful and very friendly. I stay for dinner twice a week and more often if I wanted to. We always feel welcome when we visit and he is very comfortable, clean and friendly atmosphere.

St Anns is a lovely care home. It is very friendly. Wonderful staff, kept very clean. When we visit Dad who has been here 4 1/2 years we are always made welcome. It is so lovely and relaxing in the living room. So overall wouldn't want Dad anywhere else. Dad is happy here. Made lots of friends. Highly
recommended by all our family.

Review from B L (Niece of Resident) published on 18 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been very impressed by the care home, quite the best for care, communication and consideration. As my uncle says it is the "little things" and having had very difficult experience at other care homes recently St Anns staff and cleanliness-attention were noticeably superior. Dining room tea, coffee
spoons always in stock and tables cleared immediately. Very impressed.

Review from Peter W (Son of Resident) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are very good. A recent meeting with the manager supported this view even more as she went to great lengths to help with my mother's pension application (Attendance allowance). The activities coordinator is always proactive and keen to develop new ways to entertain and enrich the residents.
All staff are helpful and friendly whilst being down to earth with both family as well as the residents.

Having worked with several care homes when it came to picking somewhere for nan this was the nicest care home with the best staff and most pleasant atmosphere.


Nan can be very difficult at times and the staff are excellent with her, they also contact us if there is a problem.

St Annes is a lovely, homely 'family feel' care home. Everybody that comes or visits is made to feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble.


The standards are very high and the care is 1st class.

Review from Hayley C (Private Carer of Resident) published on 27 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I own a private specialist, dementia care company and I have been visiting St Ann's for over 2 years. One of my clients from the community moved into St Ann's over 2 years ago and I have been visiting every day Monday - Friday ever since. The care at St Ann's is second to none and all of the staff are
extremely welcoming, professional, approachable and caring. They know their residents very well and provide great dementia care. I have since recommended St Ann's to 2 of the families and people living with dementia that I work with and they both moved in approx 1 year ago.

Review from Lesley L (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has now been at St Ann's for three years and I am very happy that they were able to take her all those years ago. She is happy, well looked after and due to her deterioration cared for extremely well.
Mum was quite independent when she went to St Ann's but is now totally dependent. Mum is treated
with dignity and privacy.
The staff are amazing and never fail to keep me informed as to what is happening with mum.
I visit mum 2-3times a week, so I am fully aware of how much care and pride the staff take in caring not only for mum but all of the residents.
My mum has Dementia so it's not an easy job.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for St Anns Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.812 for St Anns Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.812
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Anns Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
