Carers are extremely good, kind and look after residents very well.
My mum seems so happy since she has been here. She is a different person. The staff are so polite and friendly. I spent my mum's birthday with her at the home and it was a lovely experience, very accommodating. Lovely atmosphere.
I've always found the staff at St John's Nursing Home to be both helpful and pleasant. There are always many activities and they do their best to include and stimulate all residents as best they can. They are hard working and are very caring and putting others before themselves. I do find at times that they could do with the odd extra staff but overall I am very satisfied with the care my mother receives here.
My wife was resided at this home from 2010 until July 2015 when she died. During this period I visited my wife every day. I noticed how much the carers at this nursing home, looked after the residents and I was impressed with all the care they took.
Friendly welcoming first visit and each thereafter. Plenty of facilities and activities. My mother appears happy and content. She gets along with the staff very well. The care and welfare appear upper most in the staff's minds and this is shown in the care administered. The home is large and warm and inviting and the residents seem content and happy.
My mother has been a resident for over a year. The quality of care at St Johns is of the highest standard. All the staff are caring, kind and patient with the residents. It's a beautiful building and the rooms are always spotlessly clean and tidy. I know my mum is very happy here and so am I knowing she is having the best possible care.
Our son has been at the home for 18 months. We have found the staff very helpful and caring. The activities coordinator is very good and a good planner and organiser. The trips to the seaside and garden centres and very good. We are very satisfied with the care and nursing our son is receiving. The staff all do excellent work.

Meet the Team (4)

Home Manager

The years spent in London gourmet restaurants allowed me to acquire a solid technical foundation and a deep knowledge of international culinary trends. However, it was the almost accidental encounter with catering in care homes that marked a turning point in my career. The joy and gratitude of the residents after a well-prepared meal offered me unparalleled satisfaction, prompting me to dedicate myself to this sector.
For about eight years, I have held the role of Head Chef at various private healthcare companies, where I am committed to offering a quality culinary experience, attentive to the needs and tastes of the guests. I am a curious and creative cook, who loves to experiment and transform ingredients into unique dishes, like a painter who uses colors to create a work of art. My attention to detail and meticulousness allow me to take care of every aspect of the preparation, leaving nothing to chance. I love working in a team and creating a positive and collaborative work environment.
My determination and passion for catering have driven me to return to my studies, enrolling in a degree course in Hotel & Business Management. My goal is to expand my skills and become a successful Food & Beverage Manager, able to combine my culinary experience with a solid knowledge of the hospitality sector.
