My mum was cared for by the staff at St Jude's for just over a year and I can’t thank them enough as a family for all her care that she had and also and especially to looking after and caring for her sister, who also became a big part of mum's time there. We sadly lost mum in March peacefully and given
care and support during her last days. Including being allowed to have my dog with me in her room, so that I didn’t have to worry about going back and forth for him, I had the time that I needed to be with her at the end.
I cannot thank the staff enough for all that they did for us and for allowing us another year to have with mum and build up memories. She was quite unwell and they made her well enough again to have a special last year. That I can’t thank you enough for. St Jude's certainly gave life back to my mum. Now during this difficult time, my thoughts and wishes go out to all the staff and residents there and wish them all well. Thank You x

My husband has been in St Jude's since November. My family are all very pleased with all aspects of St Jude's.
It has a very homely atmosphere. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Happy to give visitors a cup of tea.
The rooms are well furnished and kept very clean and tidy. The food is well
presented and very nice. The parties are lovely - New Year's, Valentine's and I'm sure St Patrick's will be fun too. We as a family would like to say a big thank you to everyone at St Jude's.

St Jude,s staff were amazing whilst looking after my mother for just under a year. The staff were caring, kind and supportive. The home was kept in immaculately clean condition. They also ensured my mother was kept clean and had fresh bedding every day.
The food was excellent, a good variety or fresh
meal every day.
Helen the entertainment coordinator is fantastic, every week there are singers and entertainers and Helen And her team get everyone involved, the summer and Christmas party were one to remember!
I’d like to thank all the staff for all their support and kindness whilst looking after my mum.

Our mum was taken to St Jude's in March 2019. The staff were very warm and friendly. Our mum was in a very unsettled state and I have to praise the staff for there patients and loving care. I've worked in homes in my trade and this place smelt nice all the time. The food was very good and you could
have almost what you liked. The nurses on mums last few days of her life were fantastic. Thank you all so much.

I have been a resident here at St Jude's since early October 2019. Although I am only 55 years of age, I am at end of life stage, hence my residency here. Since my arrival, I have found it has become my home in all aspects. I and my family have been encouraged to treat my room as my home and have been
facilitated in every aspect of this, including having my son stay with me whenever he is in London. Staff and management are incredible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 93-year-old mother spent the last 6 weeks of her life being looked after by a team of kind, caring, professional members of this excellent nursing home. From the manager to the cleaner, all aspects of her care were well catered for and she was always treated with dignity, respect and was shown genuine
kindness and true friendship. I would definitely recommend this nursing home, especially with the current manager in place. She is an Irish gem and St Jude's is lucky to have her on board. Sadly, my mother is no longer with us but I have fond memories of her final days and take comfort in knowing that she was very happy and content and departed serenely thanks to the excellent care that she received during her short stay.

When my mother's problems increased we decided that 24/7 care was needed. Of course, we were apprehensive about putting her into a care home. We felt from the front door that this was a clean, caring place. A resident dog was a very thoughtful touch.

My father was in the care of St Jude's for nearly 1 year.
He had advanced dementia. The staff at St Jude's were very tolerant of his condition and were always compassionate and caring towards him. They treated him with utmost respect and became very friendly with my sister and myself. They were always
happy and jolly which I think rubbed off on all the residents. They are all a credit to their profession.

My brother and I would just like to thank everybody for all that they did for our father. He loved his food I know and he loved all the entertainment. You all made him very comfortable in his last days.
Thank you for looking after us also on our visits. He nearly made St Patrick's Day. That is when
we came last year to see about the home.
All that we are sad about is that nobody from the nursing home, came on the day of his funeral at the crematorium in Croydon at West Chapel even though details were brought into the manager.

My father was rehomed at St Jude's after a short stay in hospital. St Jude's was highly recommended by the discharge nurse.
On doing an impromptu visit the reception by staff was very warm and welcoming. There was a thorough explanation of the service and introduction to staff.
Although my father
was here for a short spell, his treatment was outstanding and they were very accommodating and polite to all the family members.

Mum came here 2 weeks ago in terrible pain. Even though she's still suffering pain, she looks so much better. The staff and management are all excellent in both their attitude and the way they perform their duties. Everybody always smiles. Mum says the food is excellent too. I couldn't recommend St

From our initial visit to find a care home for my mother to settling her in, a warm friendly welcome has been given by all staff at St Jude's. My mother has Alzheimer's and has certainly not been easy for the staff to care for and settle but staff have always been very positive and professional handling
any concerns with confidence and involving outside agencies where necessary thus putting your minds at ease.
Lots of varied activities are offered and enjoyed by the residents visiting relatives alike.

My mother has been resident at St Jude's since November 2009. She has advanced vascular dementia. Her care since she came here has been virtually faultless. Although she is now bed-bound, she is treated with exactly the level of care, courtesy and sympathy for her needs as a fully enabled resident.
The
leadership of staff is excellent from the manager. Staff are caring for every resident's individual needs and there is a clear feeling of openness and genuine welcome for vulnerable patients and their relatives alike.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.569)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.569) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.569 for St Jude's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 341 Ratings = 4.569
  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 28 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 28 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.
