With a lot of uncertainty of going into the home in her words "she would do it again"
The whole experience from start to end was dealt with the compassion & care from the whole team as if I was doing it myself.
Visitors could come anytime & the activities kept her stimulated, so time went fast
Her room was so lovely & a big 10/10 for the food
A massive thank you from the bottom of our heart for making a week stay so enjoyable
A special thanks to Laura & Rose for sorting at such short notice
We're so pleased to hear that your mam had such a positive respite stay with us, especially when it came with so much uncertainty beforehand. Hearing her say she'd do it again is one of the nicest compliments we could...
He settled in well and was helped by the friendly caring staff who responded to his needs.
All staff were very supportive to the family when we visited him.
Thank you
Would not trust them to look after a pint of milk. My mam died on her own in bed staff leving care home weeks befor mam died t v ariel poor in rooms small rooms was allways arguin with staff or manager on my mams behalf she hated the food provide by them and the bed she was given by them hated that to could say names but not allowed on here i have spoken to one ex staff member as hes left now and thanked him for his help with my mam all i can say is my mam is in more safer place now with god as for me i did not like it at care home but had to go see mam.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate you sharing your feedback with us.
We understand that choosing and trusting a care home for a loved one is an important decision, and we are sorry that you...
St Georges is clean, and staff all attentive and conscientious even when under pressure. The rooms she has had may not be particulalry large and the old house part is just that - old and narrow corridors. The lift was tired and could be recaltitrent! However, given the building issues the sense of overall care and lightness of touch was great. Others locally speak highly of St Georges too.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We're really pleased to hear that St George's has been able to provide a welcoming, caring and supportive place for her while you're away and that she's been able to stay connected with friends and familiar surroundings.
We also appreciate your...
Excellent staff and management.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It's wonderful to know that the care, support and atmosphere we work hard to provide are making a difference. I'll make sure the whole team sees your comments, it means a lot to everyone here to know their efforts are appreciated.
Always feel welcome staff are excellent communicators and ring me if any issues etc. Facilities are excellent, very clean. Entertainment for residents is excellent. St Georges is an excellent care facility. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. We're proud of the care we deliver and the activities we provide, so it's wonderful to hear your thoughts. Your kind words will be shared with the whole team at St George's, they'll be delighted to know their efforts are making a difference.
St George's is not a care home it is a home from home and I have seen on every visit that all of the residents are treated with kindness & respect. It's a lovely place to visit. The atmosphere is fun and they arrange so much for the residents to do such as animal visits, making things, gardening, activity day & outings. I always laugh that he has more going on in his day than I do in mine. It's a wonderful place x
The home is great. Since she arrived her overall health and wellbeing has improved significantly. The home and all the staff are fantastic. They have gone out of their way to make her welcome and comfortable. The activities and entertainment are so good. On arrival she was very unwell - now she is very well. As a point of improvement, it would be good if self funding residents are provided with full ensuite facilities, this is proportionate to the cost per month (in my opinion). Keep up the fantastic service.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review.We're really pleased to hear how well your loved one is doing and that she's felt so welcomed and supported since arriving with us. It's always rewarding to know that the care we provide is making a real difference to someone's...
The premises were very clean, comfortable and bright. Nothing was a trouble for the staff.
When Dad returned home we asked if he would be happy to go back again, it was better than he expected, his answer was yes!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely feedback.We know it can feel a little uncertain coming in for respite care, especially for the first time, so it's really heartening to hear that your dad felt welcomed from the moment he arrived. That's exactly the kind of experience we hope to give every...
Thank you for all the help and care given to her. She loves her hairdressing days.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're so glad to hear that your mother felt comfortable and well cared for during her stay. It's great to know she especially enjoyed the hairdressing days. We're thrilled that she has decided to make St George's Care Home her permanent home. If there's anything else we can do to make her experience even better, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for everything you have done for me any mu mum. Will always be eternally grateful and really appreciate it. Every member of staff has been caring, compassionate and engaging with all of us. None of you lose your patience. Such a challenging job and you are all cheerful even if you are having a tough day. I have seen how you all engage with residents and make them feel at home. Most of residents are very confused and the skills you all use are a gift, you either have it or you don't and all staff I have seen have. Everyone of you has been so patient, gentle and empathetic and encouraged my mum. Always feel welcome when I visit and see for my self that she is well cared for which puts me at ease. Also, thank you for doing things like bringing animals in, doing arts and crafts, people who play music and people who bring school children in. Thank you to the volunteers who spend time with my mum and other volunteers who play games and interact with Mum. I also want to thank you to the cleaners for keeping the home clean and for serving the lunches.
You all work well as a team and should know you are all valued. Thank you to all of you for communicating with each other and other professionals and especially my mum and me. Thank you to the manager for tunning such a fantastic home for residents you should be proud of your team. Thank you for everything. I wish you all the best and wishing everyone of you good health now and in the coming year.
Please take care everyone and thanks so much for letting me have a break and the support I was shown when I was so unwell.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are grateful to know that you feel supported and at ease at St George's Care Home. It's wonderful to hear that the care we provide for your mum has made a positive difference for both of you. Our team works hard to ensure every resident feels valued,...
Everyone at St George's Residential Home has been very kind to my Mum and has gone out of their way to care for her. She likes to take part in the activities that are organised (and enjoys herself at the D-Day celebrations). I am kept fully informed about how my Mum is doing.
Thank you for your kind review of our care home, we are so pleased to hear that your mum has settled into the home and our team have fully supported her. I'm glad to hear she's enjoying the activities, especially the D-Day celebrations! We love planning events that make our residents smile and it's...
Following this meeting, my sister & I were given a full tour of the home and its grounds. This was very good (as my sister & I left we both commented 1) how clean the home was 2) the friendliness of the staff 3) we had made the right choice.
We finalised any remaining paperwork and prepared to leave after a final chat with Mum. She seemed quite content, the staff reassured us they would keep a close eye on her, with it being her first night.
As we left the home I said it's very good, I will be booking myself in next - we had a laugh.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you, your sister, and your mum felt so comfortable during your visit. We're really happy that you found the home clean and friendly and that we could answer all of your questions. We know how important that peace of mind is,...
Mum has been a resident of St George's for three and a half years and in that time her general health and well-being have improved dramatically. The level of care and attention the residents receive is excellent and the activities that are organised are engaging and fun. Recently Mum went on a trip to Ravenglass with a trip on Lal Ratty which she enjoyed thoroughly and we were visiting recently when a folk group were playing which again really cheered Mum up. We are regularly contacted to ensure that we have no concerns about Mum's care and are always contacted immediately should there be an issue with Mum's health in any way. Mum always tells us how good the food is and how well cared for she is when we are visiting. Mum feels safe both physically and psychologically which is a great comfort to us.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of St George's. We are delighted to hear that your mum has experienced such significant improvements in her health and well-being since joining us three and a half years ago. Our dedicated team strives to provide the highest level of care and attention to...
At a meeting for the residents and relatives, we were encouraged to ask questions and received satisfactory answers. Suggestions are also welcome. Where activities are concerned, a good effort is made to try to remember the abilities of each resident and include each one, sometimes on an individual basis such as a simple trip to the sea and an ice cream. All the staff are approachable and I am kept informed of my mum's health.
The star rating for food and safety is because I am only there during visiting hours so I cannot comment on outside of those hours.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home, its wonderful to read how kind, respectful and approachable your Mum and yourself find our staff and I will ensure that this information is passed on. We welcome and value all suggestions made with regards to our service and feel that holding...
My mum moved into St George’s in December 2023 aged 91. Such a big change can be very unsettling for many people but the staff did everything they could to help Mum settle into her new surroundings. She was allocated a nice room with dual-aspect windows and her own toilet. There are two nice lounges for her to watch TV or she can do so in her own room. Staff are attentive to her needs and keep in regular contact with me if required and when they undertake reviews of her care plan. There are regular activities for residents to take part in. Mum feels very safe and contented in St George’s which of course is a great comfort to us her family.
Kindest regards.
My mother came for 2 weeks of respite everyone was very caring and looked after her well. The food must have been good as she gained a little weight which was needed. Mother enjoyed it so much I think she will be back in the near future.
Thank you kindly for the wonderful review. I will be sure to pass this onto the staff. We enjoyed having your mum stay with us at St George's and look forward to welcoming her again in the near future.
My overall impression is that of a caring and supportive environment for my relative. I'm always made aware of any health issues and they are treated accordingly. The overall standard of the home is one of being 1st class in cleanliness and safety for the service users. I would be very happy to recommend St George's for anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.
Thank you for your lovely words and recommendation, I will be sure to let the staff know. We really enjoy looking after your mother-in-law. Kindest regards.
The staff are fantastic and always have time to speak with me about Mum. Always activities taking place which keep her occupied and she finds them enjoyable.
We love having your mum stay with us at St George's and it is wonderful to see her participate in the activities.
My wife does not want to be in the care home; she wanted to be at home. I want her home; she feels like a prisoner, unable to get to Church or do her pastimes or hobbies. Her only protest she feels she can make is to receive medications, meals and fluids.

Meet the Team (2)

I started my career as a Support Worker for individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs, and it was there that my passion for care truly began. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to develop my knowledge and experience within the health and social care sector, managing multiple services simultaneously including EMI, mental health, supported living, behavioural complex units, elderly care and outreach services.
These experiences have shaped the leader I am today and given me a real understanding of the importance of person centred care at every level.
As Area Manager for Kirklands Care Group, I’m proud to support our homes across Cumbria. I value people and I firmly believe that everyone’s voice matters and deserves to be heard. My goal is to ensure our residents receive the highest standard of care while creating teams who feel supported, appreciated and proud of the work they do.

I started my career in care as a Health Care Assistant and have progressed and worked my way up through the Health and Social Care Industry, working across many services such as mental health, learning disability, children's services and dementia nursing, reaching the position of Area Manager.
In 2021, I joined Kirklands Care as their Operations Manager, overseeing all of their care homes. Kirklands Care is a family-run business that shares my own beliefs about care and that the residents' care is of utmost priority, and this, for me, comes first. My love of spending time with the residents shines through my work, hearing their stories and having the ability to make a difference in their lives. Every resident I care for is treated how I would expect my family member to be cared for, which for me is with love, dignity and respect. My role allows me to work with families to take the pressure off whilst allowing them to feel their loved one is in a suitable environment, is safe and cared for.
