My mother was very comfortable in this home, they were warm loving and very caring, nothing was too much trouble. All the staff work so hard and being a small home it is very homely, like a big family. I can't thank them enough for easing my problems. Being a carer for my mum for 6 years I know how hard it can be to do this job, their support was greatly appreciated right to the end.
Thank you.
My sister was resident in St Aubyns for 2 1/2 years. The staff, carers and nursing staff were the very best one could ever find. They were dedicated and committed to ensuring all residents received kindness, compassion, attention and indeed love. They were patient, warm and friendly and helped to create a family and homely atmosphere. My sister was very happy in St. Aubyns and the care she received in the last few years of her life was exceptional in every way.
Mum lived in this home for 4 1/2 years. She was very happy and well looked after. They made me so welcome every time I paid Mum a visit, which was 2/3 times a week. My mum passed away in the home on 19th February at 95 years old. All the staff were wonderful as always on her last day of life and to me I have felt as if I was part of the family as that is what it is! All friends and family agreed with me when they paid Mum a visit. Thank you St Aubyns.
I will always recommend St Aubyns, my only regret was that my wife's stay only lasted from November 2018 to April 2019.
My father felt welcome in the home and was comfortable there, his needs were met well and with dignity. He loved all the staff there and they went out of their way to make him feel comfortable. It was always clean, dad loved the food (he put on a lot of weight there!) and was allowed freedom to continue his hobbies. A wonderful caring home I would recommend to anyone.
Putting my Father under the care of St Aubyns was the best thing we could have done. Not for one minute did we have to worry that he was receiving the best care possible. The staff, from the manager to the cleaners were always friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and they made my Father's last days as dignified and pain-free as was possible. I can't speak highly enough of them.
I would like to say that the overall care of my father has been excellent. The home is well run, the staff approachable and helpful, and the rooms clean and tidy. I never had cause for concern and the staff always kept me informed of any deterioration in my father's health etc. I would certainly recommend St Aubyns.
All helpful and friendly staff.
