St David's Residential Home

And great chef. He always makes great cakes for birthdays etc.

My Mum has been a resident at St David's since July 24 having previously stayed for respite care. I can't fault the care my Mum receives the staff are friendly but respectful as well. The home is clean and well maintained and the food is brilliant with Mum often in a dilemma as to which of the two choices she would like the most. There are plenty of activities which she enjoys and always people to talk to. As I live an hour away it is a great comfort to know that she is well cared for and that they keep an eye on her health and keep me informed if there are any health issues. They have looked after her really well for over two years and given her a far better quality of life than she had when she was living in her own home with plenty of social interaction with residents and staff. I am always made welcome on my weekly visits and find the atmosphere very inclusive and the staff are always available if I have any queries or questions. This is genuinely a great home .

My mother has been at St David's for more than 4 years and has been looked after well. She has a room with washbasin/wc and it looks out over the sea. She enjoys her food and has no complaints whatsoever in that regard. She also enjoys her own company and does not take part in the organised activites, preferring to knit, crochet and read in her room. She walks up and down the corridor outside her room several times for exercise and is still relatively active for her age. She gets on well with the staff who work on her floor and has always been looked after and monitored when she has been ill. Overall St David's gives me confidence that she is being well looked after and cared for.

My Dad is looked after very well. He is always well dressed with a shirt and tie and is clean shaven. He is checked on regularly and is asked about meal options everyday. The home is very clean and welcoming. The staff are helpful.

St David's Residential Home is a wonderful home. The situation is overlooking the sea with delightful views. It is spotlessly clean with such caring and friendl staff. The home cooked food is almost gourmet and so varied. Any taste is catered for whether in the residents room or the spacious light dining room. There are many activities to enjoy, including art/crafts, painting and fantastic singers of many eras of music, in which residents can join in. I recently spent time there on respite and can truthfully say that I received exceptional care in a neat, warm and friendly atmosphere. I would recommend without hesitation.

Dad spent just over 4 weeks at St David's for an assessment period after a very lengthy hospital stay to determine if a return home was in his best interests. Dad was made to feel welcome from the second the door opened. He had a large room with a view of the huge garden and we were allowed to personalise it with things from home. He had an en suite toilet and a TV . Dad loved the food and got on great with the chef who even got him eating meat again. Although reluctant at first to join in the activities Mandy soon had him taking part and enjoying it, the woman is a marvel. Dad interacted with the other residents and made friends. Now home he is going to be a regular visitor.

Mum has only been at St David's for just over two months, but in that time, I have seen her treated with respect and kindness, she is taken out constantly to different places which she enjoys, and she told me the food is lovely, recently she had her birthday and the chef made her the most beautiful birthday cake, I was sorry I took her one in. Very thoughtful, the staff who cook meals come around when I am there to ask what mum would like for lunch, dinner, they have a lovely option to choose from, the other lovely activity I saw was the staff helping residents with activities, she is very helpful and takes time to help and listen to them. My mum has dementia and is sometimes unsettled, the manager and the staff have been wonderful since mum moved in August, many thanks to all the staff at St David's, I know mum is safe and well cared for, can't thank you enough.

Mum went into St David's initially for respite care, but settled so well and clearly enjoyed it so much that she has become a resident. Knowing that she is safe and well looked after is incredibly reassuring, as I live over 100 miles away and can't visit as often as I would like to. I am kept updated on Mum's well-being and the activities and trips out she enjoys via phone calls and messages in between visits. The staff are all so compassionate and caring, it's lovely to see. A huge weight of worry has been lifted from the whole family, knowing that Mum is safe and happy at St David's.

I am very pleased with the care that my wife is receiving. I am finding the staff very friendly and helpful. I like the fact that I am able to visit my wife at times that suit me and that I am not tied down to rigid times.

St David's Residential Home has provided a great experience for my mum. Her care is discussed at length and is of a high standard. She is happy which is the main consideration.

Staff probably saved my life after a seizure.

Since my mum arrived she has been very happy, she has gained weight, which was a concern for us as a family. She is happy in herself. Top marks for the staff and care. Top marks for the manager for everything she has done for her.

My dad is now in this care home. It was a hard decision for all of us to make, especially my mum. Since being there, my dad has had his ups and downs. The staff and the manager have been incredible with him. The home is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk in. They have activities on every day which is fantastic for my dad. The manager was warm and caring, the staff are passionate and very hands-on and thoughtful. The manager keeps up to date with everything. The home is clean and tidy and always smells nice. The food looks amazing and, from what I saw, was a 3 course.

My mum came to St David's in 2022 awaiting a home care package. During her stay there she received the upmost care and attention. She was initially apprehensive, due to it all being new and she was frightened. The staff all went above and beyond to make Mum feel prioritised and at home away from home. Very quickly her fears and worries were expelled as every single staff member, from carers, kitchen staff, cleaners and senior staff, all made her feel welcome. Cannot rate high enough!

I can't thank all the staff enough.

Excellent care service. Supportive and caring staff who go above and beyond. Can't fault the communication from the management team. A very welcoming and homely feeling when you visit. So pleased with the care provided to my auntie. Thank you to all the team.

Our lifelong friend came to St David's recently for respite care. We found the process to be simple and straightforward, and we were supported regularly by St David's management team. The home has a lovely atmosphere and is very cosy and welcoming. The staff are very polite and friendly. We visited our friend just before lunchtime, and the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen reassured us that our friend would be well fed and looked after here. Thank you, St David's, for all your care and attention

Whether respite or residency, St David's can provide the care required for your loved one, and often at short notice. It speaks volumes that some of the staff have their own relatives in care in St David's, and there are certainly some very able and caring staff working for them. With a quiet location next to the promenade, St David's is well placed for a walk and ice cream on the prom, a quiet period in the memorial garden directly across the road, or even in the garden of St David's itself. If you are considering a care home option in the area, St David's is certainly worth considering.

Friendly and helpful, and so peaceful.

I am very happy my mum is looked after at St David’s. After a bout in hospital, I was determined to get her back to the home, as knew she would get better care and attention there. This, I am pleased to say has proved right. Mum has been at St David’s for at least 2-years, and in that time, has been having fun, inclusion in games/singing etc. It is the happiest she has been in a long time. Her hair is cut regularly and kept tidy, and she has her nails painted to look smart and well kept. The staff are very caring and considerate. The home is always very clean and tidy with lovely rooms and garden. It is run very professionally, and I would recommend it.
