My aunt has been so well cared for at St David's care home, all the staff are kind and caring. She has a clean nice room with an excellent wet room bathroom with plenty of space.
Everyone is friendly and she has enjoyed the gardens.
I really can't fault the care here.
Highly recommend

WOW! What can I say. The moment we stepped into the Care Home, we knew that this was the place for my Father. Continuous attention/care for my Father. Wonderful care and empathy for my Mother who visited everyday. The care / dignity given to my Father (Resident) was truly respectful. Every single member
of staff that we met was caring and always smiling, so happy to go out of their way to to do whatever it takes. Thank you for looking after him.

St.David's is a very good nursing home that is in an all round continuous upgrading process( ie facilities, operational systems,modus operandi ) ever since taken over.
It is amazing felling to see all these new useful developments ,even starting right at the Entrance Door into the building !
The Staff
is well trained & competent in their line of duties ; they are kind and are treating the residents with dignity & respect.
They are always welcoming families with a big smile when visiting.
The Lead of the home is solid, is professional by background ,well experienced in this field ,dynamic and present in the premises ,on daily basis which is a good asset in managing well the home .
Further more this alone goes a long way in assuring families that the home is in good hands,
I personally wish them well in consolidating all the above achievements for ever more .

The review was a useful meeting with an experienced member of staff.
Some problems were discussed and acted upon later.
One drawback was that the staff member assumed that we had been sent the resident'
s care notes but we had not received any.
The meeting was frank and good natured.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was in palliative care at St Davids for 6 weeks and we are very grateful for the care that was provided to her and the consideration given to us as her family.
Dignity and Cleanliness was impressive, a family friend who runs carehomes visited my mother and was also complimentary with cleanliness
of St Davids. It was evident that my mother was well cared for and cleaned regularly with pads being changed on a regular basis.
Staff were very calm and considerate to deal with which helped in our experience as a family. Further my mother took positively to the nursing and care staff.
Overall site is tranquil and cosy. My mother felt at home as soon as she was admitted to St Davids.

We have found the staff really helpful and friendly, can't do enough to help. The premises are clean, and we always see people cleaning. The rooms are lovely with everything you need. The food is really nice and varied, so there is something for everyone. They have been very accommodating to our Mum's

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has been a resident of St David's for many years. I visit as often as I can as I am not from the UK. I have always found them most welcoming, and the care he receives is excellent. Staff are very helpful, and they treat him with dignity. When Covid happened in March 2020, I was worried. I
couldn't visit or even travel to see him. Staff were very reassuring, provided me with weekly and sometimes twice weekly Skype calls to my brother. This allowed us to see each other at least virtually during this difficult time, which was really great. The manager provided weekly updates by email, and when I could visit in July 2021, it was wonderful to see how well he was looked after. We were both so happy to see each other again. Covid restrictions continued into 2021, and visits were limited. Staff are very kind and recognise and understand my brother's care needs. He can ring me whenever he needs to. I would certainly recommend St David's.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at St David's for two years. She suffered a brain injury and does not have mental capacity. She cannot communicate very well and is extremely vulnerable as a result. I feel the care she receives at St David's is outstanding. Despite some reliance on agency staff, many members
of the St David's team have worked there for years. All staff (new and old) have been very caring, patient and kind to my mother; they know her very well and treat her with respect. Importantly, this has been consistent throughout. They are helpful and courteous to me and keep me informed of any issues or changes related to my mother's wellbeing. After years of being unsettled elsewhere, my mother is now settled, and I feel confident she is receiving the care she deserves. I am so very grateful for St David's and highly recommend it.

My friend is physically weak but mentally strong. She is known by name, treated with dignity, kept aware of what is happening with regards to management and proposed activities. She is involved with activities, which are varied and provided by staff, volunteers and visiting groups of entertainers. There
is a close (but entirely optional) connection with the local Parish Church. I know two other folks here who are now mentally challenged and are well cared for. I cannot comment on value for money as we do not discuss it.

My experience of St David's Home is that the staff are caring and well trained. I also feel that they are proactive in their approach and very helpful. My sister feels comfortable, and someone is always at hand to offer assistance.
The room is a fair size and bright with good light, and the grounds

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.110)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.110) out of 10 for St David's 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.784 for St David's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 88 Ratings = 4.784
  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 4.326 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St David's Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.526
  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.
