My mother came here for two weeks ago, the placement was arranged very quickly by Sutton CCA as she needed urgent 24-hour care. I am amazed by the fabulous care my mother is receiving here. All the staff have made her feel very safe and welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone, I have been kept
fully informed at all times how my mother's condition is being managed. My mother is so happy here she never wants to leave! I sincerely hope she can stay here and I would recommend this wonderful home to anyone looking for somewhere to place a loved one.

Found the home to be very calming for my mother, The care is excellent. Activities are really helpful. Christmas and Burns Night were very enjoyable and fun. The care is excellent and the staff are very attentive. Yes, my mother can be difficult, but she calmed down very quickly and with respect. Meals
are excellent with proper portions and never rushed. The home is very clean and fresh smelling. Rooms are tidy and clean. The nursing care is excellent.
Thank you team St Jude's.

My father was a resident at St Jude's Nursing Home for almost 3 years. He received the best care anyone could wish for. The staff were always kind and patient. A cup of tea was always offered to us during our weekly visits. We were kept updated about my father's condition. Any changes about medication
were relayed to us. We could tell by my father's face and his reactions to staff that he was happy and well cared for.

The home is situated in a very nice location with reasonable parking. It is clean and well staffed with carers who are well trained and very skilled. Every attempt is made to engage the residents in various activities of which there are plenty.

Review from Frances R (Wife of Resident) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband went into St Judes Nursing Home in April 2015 until he passed away in September 2016. The care and attention that he received whilst there, was second to none, nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff were first class and did all they could for him to make him as comfortable as possible.
Whenever family or friends visited they always received a warm welcome and if more than two visitors arrived they made sure a private area was available. I cannot give enough praise to the staff of St Judes, they were all so very good.

From the outset everyone was kind, caring and professional. My mother received palliative care, and was only there for not quite 2 weeks before she died but the care was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. The home was clean and tidy at all times. Every resident seemed content and happy, there
was a lot of activities provided for the residents, lots of stimulation to help those who need extra help and care. I would recommend St Jude's to anyone who asks.

I cannot express my thanks and gratitude enough for the way in which St Jude's Nursing Home undertook palliative care for my mother. I am thankful she managed to obtain a room in this establishment and very happy that her six weeks stay was so peaceful. Her condition was such that she could not speak
and yet the staff were tireless in their endeavours to communicate and understand the needs of their patient. It was sometimes a very difficult task to manger pain and understand the needs of the human body and mind. I always left knowing she would be cared for and that standards would remain high. The premises was always clean and odour free!

Review from Timon P (Nephew of Resident) published on 19 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer and her prognosis was extremely short. We needed to place her in a nursing home which specialized in cancer & end of life support care. St Jude's was highly recommended to us and from day one, it was very evident that we made a successful decision.


The

managers of the home are gems and really displayed a natural and discerning and very genuine attitude and concern for my aunt's welfare and support to me & my family as well. The staff team there were amazing! All members of the team were always pleasant, caring, friendly, highly professional & dedicated to providing discerning and personal care to a very high standard. My aunt was so well looked after, I couldn't have wanted for more.


There is no doubt that my aunt spent her last days in comfort and peace of mind knowing that she was in safe, nurturing and homely environment. For that, my family and I are forever indebted to the team there and we cannot express our sincerest gratitude and appreciation to them.


It is pleasure and the utmost confidence that I highly recommend their services to any seeking to place their loved one in a quality care home.

My sister and I will be forever grateful to the staff at St.Judes for allowing our Mother to spend the last few months of her life in a caring, 'homely' environment and with dignity. The facilities are excellent and the home is bright and cheerful a stark contrast to some of the nursing homes we visited.
We always felt that the staff were very genuine and the level of nursing care was good.

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.
