St David's Nursing Home has a Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10, based on 22 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time St David's Nursing Home has 71 reviews.
My mother has been at St David's since 2020 and throughout that time the care provided has been exemplary. She has flourished in the home with the attentive care, stimulating activities and loving environment. As her son, the home been a great source of confidence as I know that she is being so well cared for. It has completely changed my perception of care homes from somewhere to be endured to somewhere that is enjoyed and a source of happiness.
Thank you for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will make sure your words are shared with the team. Thank you again.
Excellent in every aspect. My mother has been in the home for two years and has been treated with dignity and respect at all times. I have never had reason to complain as the home is immaculate and the staff just amazing.
Thank you for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will make sure your words are shared with the team. Thank you again.
This was my aunt's care home of choice, having had a personal connection to the Priory dating back to childhood. The staff are wonderful and have given her the most loving and professional care during her many periods of respite here. She came to the home most recently in July for more long-term care and all of her friends say how happy she is. I can also see that she has settled with good friendships being made and good memories.
Thank you for your review. Your kind words mean a great deal to us. I will make sure the team sees your comments.
My mum has been in St Davids since July 2020. During that time the team have provided brilliant care to my mum. Mum has severe dementia, and she can be very challenging, but this never phases the care team. Mum has interacted with the team during a time when she finds this difficult to do. This is because of the professional way in which the staff know how to care for someone who is so ill and has great problems in articulating her needs. Our family have been so grateful for the support provided and we would recommend St Davids to any person in need of care or indeed any family who needs to be certain that their loved one is looked after as they would want them to be.
Thank you very much for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will make sure the team see your kind words.
Our mother has been a resident at St David's for the last two years. There is a lovely family feel, which permits throughout the home, and the warmth and care from the 'caring angels' are exceptional. We feel we can liaise with staff and management both on visits and by phone at any time, which is very reassuring. Set in the most beautiful grounds, these are utilised very well with all the lovely activities arranged for the residents to enjoy. Grandchildren and family members are always welcome to attend, which has been lovely for Mum. We can highly recommend this beautiful home.
It means a great deal to us.
I will pass on your comments to the team.
Mum's birthday was also in June. We visited on the day, and as soon as we arrived, tea and homemade cake were served. We helped to blow the candles out!
The staff always go the extra mile to make people feel special, whether it be a birthday or just organising daily activities.
Mum has been a resident for over five years, and we are so pleased we chose St David's.
It means a great deal to us.

The last thing my father wanted to do was to go into a care home, but when his Alzheimers advanced so much that I could no longer keep him safe, that decision was made for me. Getting him into St David's, a truly unique home, was the light at the end of the tunnel. He has now been a resident for approaching three years, and I cannot praise and commend the home highly enough. From the professional and clear leadership, the kindness, patience and compassion shown by all his lovely carers to the tasty, plentiful and appealing meals - he lives like a king. Dad is not the easiest resident, gorgeous and in a good mood, but quite grumpy from time to time, and the girls love him whatever and are amazingly adept at improving his mood without him noticing! Recently their thoughtfulness meant he visited a light aircraft airport (he worked for the airline company for 40 years), and went on a boat trip on the Thames (he lived close to the river for 60 years), and I know he enjoyed the trips enormously. Thank you all so much.
Thank you for your kind words. I will share them with the team.
I had no hesitation in requesting a place for Dad when he needed it too.
The peaceful setting, cleanliness, carefully prepared tasty food, care, patience and diligence, the variety of activities that are really planned with our relative's interests and well-being in mind - in every aspect, St David's wins.
I can relax knowing that Dad is surrounded by people who truly care and do an amazing job in an extremely well-run establishment.
Thank you for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will pass on your comments to the team.
From the moment my brother and I identified St David's as a potential home for Mum, we were met with understanding, care and compassion, even before entering the building. Our lovely Mum has advanced dementia and is now on end-of-life care. It is hard to believe that there is anywhere in existence that would provide Mum with care beyond that, that she is receiving. Mum's dementia has caused her personality to change beyond recognition from the loving person she was, yet the staff at St David's care for her, talk to her and treat her with dignity, and more often than not, leave her room with a kiss. The small touches matter. The staff are exceptional in caring for the residents, meeting their individual needs and creating a home-from-home atmosphere which is so very important. The food is exceptional... nothing is too much trouble. In such difficult circumstances for our family, it continues to be a privilege to be on the receiving end of such professional care.
Thank you so much for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will pass on your comments to the team.
The staff are very professional, compassionate, kind and caring.
The management and all the staff are always willing to go the extra distance to ensure Mum's comfort, and there is a regular program of well-thought-through activities for her to join in with.
When visiting we are always made more than welcome and are met with a very homely atmosphere.
This is an outstanding care home in lovely, spacious grounds, and we would be very happy to recommend it to others.
Thank you so much for your review. It means a great deal to us. I will pass on your comments to the team.
We, as a family, would highly recommend the group.
Mum has been a resident for several years and feels very happy, safe and comfortable with wonderful care, which gives her great peace of mind and us as a family.
We really appreciate them.
I will make sure the team read them.
As a family, we are very grateful for this.
The homes are so well run, and all staff are very welcoming and efficient.
Always has a lovely atmosphere.
We really appreciate them.
I will pass them on to the team.
Mum has been a resident at St David's for over a year now and is in the throes of worsening dementia; I can honestly say the care, compassion and professionalism that this care home offers, as the CQC states, is outstanding. It's not just a care home, it's Mum's home. Mum went straight from the hospital after two nasty falls (hip and femur) and the staff looked after Mum like she is part of the family. In fact, a few of the carers have said, 'we are also her family now. I never worry about the care Mum receives - Mum is always clean and dressed, and her room is always beautifully clean and tidy. The food is of exceptional quality, and the cakes are plentiful! Every member of staff greets me on arrival, filling me in on Mum's progress. Mum is very tactile, and the staff are always happy to hold her hand and engage with her. She is happy and well-adjusted, and this reassures us as a family. Thank goodness to the manager and the team for their ongoing and exemplary care.
We really appreciate them.
I will make sure the team reads them.
They allocated us space in the Nightingale Room and provided all the crockery, plates and a lovely cake. Mum was dressed beautifully with care and attention.
The family all came, and the staff took a photo of us all.
Everyone is so caring and kind; I never have a visit where we are not welcome, whatever time of day.
I know my mum is in good hands, which is the best piece of mind.
We really appreciate them.
I will make sure the team reads them.
The management team go the extra mile in sorting out any queries or concerns and does not hesitate to reach out for new ideas or feedback. The pandemic lockdowns necessitated some original thinking, and the home excelled in ensuring relatives never lost touch with their loved ones. One great asset of St David's is its 19th Century layout, which definitely contributed to the extremely low rates of Covid-19, combined with top-class 21st Century nursing and clear leadership.
Having visited a number of care homes, I can say that St David's leaves them standing in the shade.
Thank you so much. It is a pleasure looking after your mum, and thank you for your kind words, which I will pass on.
The home is decorated beautifully and was always spotlessly clean. The food was excellent, as was the choice of meals. I would have no hesitation in recommending St David's as it really is an outstanding care home where the needs of the residents are always put first.
Thank you to all at St David's.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It means a great deal to us. I will make sure the team read your words.
The home is set in amazing grounds which are very tranquil and this too sets the home apart. I highly recommend this home.
Thank you for your kind words; we really appreciate them. I will make sure that the staff team read them.
My mum and now my dad are looked after by the team. I had a lot of trepidation about the whole care home thing but have to say both my parents are/were being looked after in an extremely impressive way. All of the staff are always exceptionally happy and helpful and it's great to see a very low turnover of staff. From making me a bacon roll whilst I watch rugby with Dad to keeping me and my sister fully versed on how he is doing, I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them if you are lucky enough to find a space.The ambience, team and grounds of St David's make it truly unique.
Thank you very much leaving a review. Your words mean a great deal to us. Best regards
The owners and staff not only believe in very high standards of care and comfort for their residents, they also deliver. They pay attention to the individual needs of residents and genuinely care about their emotional, as well as physical, wellbeing. As a relative, this means peace of mind and confidence that your loved one is in the very best hands.
Thank you very much for your comments. They mean a great deal to us. I will pass them on to the team.
My family would like to thank many people for the care of our father, especially the staff at St David’s Nursing Home who are exceptional people, with such generosity of spirit – if you become tired of life and you have lost your faith in humanity, visit St David’s Nursing home, you will find love, compassion, and humanity in abundance. Individuals who looked after my father are angels amongst mortals. If you are in need of a nursing home St David's is the finest example you will find.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. I will make sure the team see them. Thank you once again.
