St Jude's is a very happy and caring home. The staff greet you with a smile as soon as you enter the premises and the staff are very caring, if there are any problems that need addressing they will try to sort the problem or they will find somebody who can sort the problem out. Great staff from the
top, down to all the other jobs that need doing.

Quality of care is very good. clinical nurses have a good knowledge and scare staff is friendly and approachable.Doctor visits once a week but sometimes their visits seem a bit rushed. There is a good range of activities. Food is very good with a wide variety of both savories and puddings. The nursing
home has been decorated nicely giving it a very homely feels. Extended services in hairdressing, podiatry and dentist.

My experience with St Jude's is good. My brother is looked after very well, I frequently ask him if he's okay and if people working there are kind to him, if he's listened to and if he likes the food and his answers are always yes. I am going by what he tells me. My experience with the care home is
very good, visits are allowed at anytime, visitors are always made to feel welcome, refreshments are offered and the staff are always friendly and kind. I try and visit my brother once a week and he looks relaxed and settled, all washed and tidy. If I have any issues or questions the manager and staff are always available to help.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We looked at quite few Nursing Homes but decided the best one for our needs was St.Judes. The management were very good although we did find some language problems with the nursing staff.
The occupants were entertained most days with games and quizzes.
My brother was in St.Judes for 6 years suffering
from Vascular Dementia and he was able to join in with the daily activities.
We always felt welcome when we visited him and usually had a cup of tea and a piece of cake.
We were kept up to date with any variations in his condition.

Review from D M (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad went to St Judes as he was no longer able to care for himself. Dad was fiercely independent so being cared for was extremely difficult for him. St Judes settled dad and he began to see St Judes as his home. Dad loves the snug and happiest looking at the well kept gardens. When visiting dad we were
greeted with a smile and offer of a cup of tea. We did at times have concerns which we addressed with the staff who listened and together we resolved. There were a few communication problems, English was not the first language for some of the staff but with patience on both sides we managed to sort out the differences. We would have liked dad to have activities which were more suited to him eg speakers, topics politics, gardening, world events, hobbies. However, dad and I watched a lovely entertainer who visited St Judes and she was great fun. We recognise dad was a complex resident and required towards the end intensive care St Judes were respectful and kind. To note: St Judes manager and deputy were professional and efficient at all times.

I received a request to send a review 1 month after the death of my dear brother, who lived in St Jude's Nursing Home in Sutton for 18months before his death in July.
I visited twice a week, during this time, the carers and nurses were very kind, and he appeared to be well looked after. However,
I am saddened to say that apart from a corporate sympathy card, I have had no acknowledgement of my bereavement, no phone call, no message of sympathy, and worse still, not one member of St Jude's staff attended his funeral, which has left me saddened and feeling very upset. No one bothered to contact me.

Having look at 10 care homes in the area one Sunday, I was pleased St Jude's had a vacancy for my 86 year old husband. St Jude's is not like a 5 star hotel, it is more homely and the staff know how to treat their clients with kindness. My husband, who had dementia, was difficult at the beginning of
his stay, but all the carers were so unbelievably patient. My husband died on 14th November.
If I need a care home, St Jude's would be the first and only one I would choose.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, the family and friends of my brother were very pleased with virtually all aspects of his care at St Jude's. He could be awkward and demanding at times but despite this, with a small number of exceptions, nearly all of the staff were friendly and courteous to him at all times. It was occasionally
a bit noisy, with banging doors, etc. The management and nursing staff were very helpful, although there were occasional difficulties of communication due to staff not being native English speakers.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) out of 10 for St Jude's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.547 for St Jude's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (156 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 424 Ratings = 4.547
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Jude's Nursing Home is based on 35 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
