A friendly, welcoming nursing home where we all feel extremely comfortable. All staff go above and beyond when caring for my father. They have got to know him so well, even though he has Dementia and Parkinson's. All his needs are met with care and kindness. We are very pleased we found this home due
to its spacious, homely feel and calming atmosphere.

Mum was moved directly from the hospital to the nursing home following a heart attack. Previously in a care home that could not supply nursing. She is a lot happier and appears more comfortable and alert here. She loves her room and engages well with the staff.

We had a number of options but chose St Jude's and it turned out to be a good choice. The room was a good size, equipped with all that was needed but what made St Jude's special was the staff, who were always on hand when needed and made Mum's stay comfortable.

The overall standard of the care home including the room is very good. Rooms, bedding and furniture are clean and fairly well maintained. The home is secure and I feel that my dad is kept safe in relation to his condition and abilities. The staff are warm and welcoming and attentive. They are always
readily available to contact by phone and email and keep us updated/informed of Dad's health. The food and facilities are of a good standard and Christmas dinner/party was laid on for residents.

Lovely nursing home, staff, manager, food and grounds. I have never been to a nursing home before, except now. I would recommend this home, if needed, to any of my family and friends. If only my mum was alive, I would have recommended this one for her. Bless her.

Review from Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother came to St Jude's in December 2022. Dementia and compromised mobility meant we had to seek out care home options. I came to St Jude's as they were looking after my aunt, and I am so glad we chose this home. My mother was reunited with her sister, and the staff worked hard so that they sat
together when in the lounge. My mother could be difficult, but we saw nothing but care and compassion from the staff. Although my mother hated being in a home, she loved the staff, and they were professional and compassionate in all their care of her. The manager was lovely and always took the time to listen to our concerns as Mum deteriorated. In Mum's final days, I saw first-hand their care and concern for her. And after she passed, all the staff came to her room and said goodbye to her. It meant so much to us as a family. We have nothing but praise for this wonderful home and their amazing team. Thank you so much.

Review from Sandra W (Sister of Resident) published on 19 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My brother was at St Jude's, not by choice, due to no other home that could meet his needs. He was there for a total of 15 days then he very sadly passed. The language barrier with all staff was a massive issue, especially on the phone. He was bed-bound and couldn't use the call bell as they put it
on the wall out of his reach. He had Parkinson's and had several strokes so he was unable to communicate. He deteriorated very quickly, suffering from recurring aspiration pneumonia. We had an agreement with the home for them to contact my sister and I when he was near the end of life but they left it too late and he passed alone. We were stressed that they didn't call sooner. When I contacted the home I was told "oh he passed" then they hung up. The last time I saw my brother I pulled the call bell and it took 10 minutes for nurses to respond. My advice is to find another home and not go to St Jude's. Very angry and upset.

Review from Andrew W (Son of Resident) published on 30 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our mother was brought into St Jude's just as Covid commenced. The way in which visitors were handled was, in our view, extremely poor, with little commonsense and was completely over the top (compared to hospitals and other care homes).
This has landed our view on the overall care received.
Bearing
in mind, our mum and her husband were in the same care home, the lack of understanding and willingness to put them close to each other was disappointing, to say the least.
Some of the carers were excellent, but others were poor.

My mother was a resident at St Jude’s for 17 months. In that time the care and compassion that the staff showed was excellent. She was always well-fed and kept extremely clean. As her health deteriorated they still showed the same level of kindness. A lovely nursing home which I would recommend.

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.
