St Mary’s provides quality residential and nursing care, whilst also specialising in palliative, respite and post operative convalescence care. They also offer nursing care for people living with Parkinson's and Huntington's disease (depending on need).
Residents have a choice of places to find company or quiet time – from the vintage café, comfortable lounges, to the lovingly tended gardens. With high ceilings, big rooms and sash windows, residents can enjoy ample light in a refreshing open environment.
Many staff have been at St Mary's for a long time; they enjoy getting to know residents and often build warm friendships with them.
The home is ideally located with Luton town just a short walk away, or you can hop on a bus right outside the home.
Dietary needs are discussed on arrival and incorporated into a menu of fresh seasonal produce, eaten in the bright and airy dining rooms or in the privacy of clients’ own bedrooms.
There’s a real sense of community at the home. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests.
Games, outings and entertainments are all part of a varied activities programme, with the calendar including coffee mornings, beauty therapy, musical performances and a themed event each month.

My mum was admitted to St Mary's in September 2019 for palliative care. Our decision to place Mum there was initially due to the enthusiasm and professionalism of the staff member showing us around. Since admission, our decision to place Mum here has been confirmed as the best thing we could have...
All the staff are caring and polite and always willing to spend time with her and her needs. Mum died this morning and the way we were treated was exceptional. Thank you to them all from her family.
Thank you for such kind words. We are very saddened about your mothers passing. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you through such a difficult time.
The home is clean and tidy and staff are super-efficient. My mum was only in the home for about 4 months, and she was very happy with her care, staff were kind, gentle and warm.

The home is clean and tidy and staff are super-efficient. My mum was only in the home for about 4 months, and she was very happy with her care, staff were kind, gentle and warm. When my mother died, the staff couldn't do enough. She was treated with respect before and after. I can't thank the staff enough. If I have to go to a home, I will pick St Mary's.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We will certainly pass on your kind words to the relevant staff.
The team deserves the highest praise. As well as the obvious things you look for in a care home they go well beyond this. Nothing is too much trouble, and their kindness and help when mother died on Friday was so appreciated by her family. Our very grateful thanks.

A massive thank you to all the staff who cared for my aunt during the last few weeks of her life. They all displayed great care and patience, to make her stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you again for all your kindness.

They are very compassionate and professional. I know that in the future if I need their service I can be reassured he is in the best hands.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like “compassionate” and “professional” being used to describe our care. We hope to see you again in the future.
My mum stayed at St Mary’s for palliative care and I cannot praise the staff who looked after her highly enough. From the moment we walked into the home until the day we left we received nothing but support and compassion from everyone. The carers and nurses give 100% to residents and their family...
The facilities are superb and the rooms modern and well equipped. My mum's seven weeks there were peaceful and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending to others needing a care home.
Thank you Jacqui for your feedback. We are sorry about your loss. We hope you can go away from this with fond memories of her last weeks.
My father has been well looked after in the time he has been at St Mary's.

My mum has been in residence at St Mary's Care Home for just two months. Whilst it took her three or four weeks to settle she now seems very happy and content and cannot speak more highly of the care and kindness that she receives on a daily basis. That to us as a family is so very important. We visit mum at least every other day and always get a warm and friendly welcome.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always lovely to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is looked after. Thank you for trusting St Marys with your mums care.

Following a period in hospital, Dad was transferred to St Mary's. Our family were very impressed with the quality of staff who looked after Dad during his all too brief stay of six weeks. Nothing was too much trouble. Anytime one of the family would visit Dad, all the staff greeted us with a smile and a kind word. We know dad was happy with the home and he was made comfortable during his final days on this earth.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We are saddened with the loss of your father and we can only hope St Mary's could help you through this difficult time.
Having my mum here for the last few days of her life I am very impressed. I have had experience of other care homes but this is by far the friendliest and homeliest I have been to. From the manager down all the staff I have met were lovely. Great food and good parking all in the centre of town....

I travelled on my own to have surgery. Upon my discharge from the hospital, I needed a place to finish my recovery before I could be cleared to travel back to my home country. St. Mary's was everything that I wanted for my recuperation. It was warm, clean, quiet, had good food, and was conveniently located to shops. But what really stood out was the staff. The nurses on duty gave me the peace-of-mind I needed. Everyone was exceptionally caring and attentive to my needs. Though my stay was a short one, I could not have been more satisfied. Thank you to everyone for making me feel welcome and helping me make a speedy recovery.

My father was admitted to St Mary's for palliative care as part of an end of life arrangement. For those few days, my mother and I never left his side. We were all cared for with tender regard and dignity and felt totally supported by all the staff, nursing and domestic. It was the best place next to home for my dad, so much so that St Mary's now has a special place in my heart.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear about your experience and will share your comments with the home’s manager. The Bupa Customer Care Team.
From the moment we were greeted we knew we were in safe and caring hands. Every member of staff was polite and helpful. Dad was treated with dignity and kindness as were we. Simply excellent staff at 'end of life' were superb. Many thanks.

As soon as my wife was informed by the hospital that her father was in an End of Life situation we were desperate to get him moved to a more peaceful environment where he could receive appropriate care and support. St Mary's proved to be the perfect solution. The nursing staff and carers were friendly and empathetic, the atmosphere relaxed and inviting. We received the support that we needed as a family right up to the end.

The first thing we noticed was that St Mary's did not smell. The staff were friendly and caring and seemed to really care about the residents. Management were available and listened and always found time to discuss my father's care. Apart from my father not wanting to be there instead of his own home he felt that he was treated with care by most of the staff. There were some exceptions - so good not excellent!
