St Jude's Nursing Home

This is a lovely nursing home, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They treat the residents extremely kindly and seem to genuinely care about them. The lounge has a lovely atmosphere, and everywhere is always very clean.

I would and have recommended this nursing home to others.

She is well taken care of.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was a pleasure knowing St Jude's Nursing Home. They took care of my Father, especially when we were rejected by many other homes due to his conditions. St Jude's provided professional care for my Dad. They did everything to make him more settled during his stay. I will always recommend St Jude's Nursing Home to others.

I am more than happy to fill in this review and I know my mother was very well looked after. A few ratings I could not complete due to Covid and Mum being bedridden.

St Jude's has been a true blessing and solution to our anxiety regarding Dad's care within the community.

It is early days, as my husband suffering from dementia, moved into St Jude's just three weeks ago. So far, I have been really impressed. The staff seem to go out of their way to welcome my husband and myself when visiting. They are caring and friendly with a team spirit. The home is very clean, and so is his very adequate room. The personal care is excellent. After having cared for my husband for several years, I can now leave him in the very capable hands of St Jude's and still be able to come and see him whenever I wish. Thank you to everyone at St Jude's!

Wonderful home, such kind and caring staff. My dad was really happy here and enjoyed the freedom they allowed him. He liked the food and always looked forward to mealtimes. The staff were always so friendly to my uncle and I when we came to visit. Many thanks.

The St Jude's care home staff are very supportive and helpful with their care to my mum from what I have seen on my visits. The care home facilities appear to be more than adequate for my mum in the condition she is in. The main plus is that the staff have been able to get my mum out of bed, which she was not able to do before she became a resident of St Jude's care home.

St Jude's has been my mother's home for over five years now. It is very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff are very kind and caring to my mother. Their patience with dementia residents is outstanding.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives.

Thank you for all you do.

Came to visit my dad and was greeted by a lovely member of staff who took me to see my dad and made us both a cup of tea. Checked on us regularly to make sure we were ok. Made me feel really welcome and comfortable.

My mother was a resident at St Jude's for more than four years. It was a great comfort to her family to know that during her last few years, she was in a safe, clean environment and being looked after by caring staff. She received excellent care and was treated with dignity and respect throughout.

The staff are very rude, mainly the manager and the head nurse. They refuse to let me speak to my father, this isn't right. They do not contact you back when you ask for a call. I understand about the pandemic going on but I should be able to speak to my father as I need to sort things with him and he is in palliative care and they are refusing to let me speak to him. Staff are very hard to understand as well.
