A superb nursing home with the highest standard of nursing care and the most kindest and supportive team with a family touch.
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.

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.

It was my mum's birthday, and St David's was brilliant.
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.

Review from Allison S (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
St Davids feels very homely, rather than the glitzy staged environment offered by homes operated on a national basis. The staff are well trained, caring and thoughtful. They must also have the patience of saints!
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.

Review from Alex B (Grandson of Resident) published on 4 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother was a resident at St David's for 18-months until she passed away in March 2021. The staff team at the home were simply outstanding in their care and compassion for her. The home was so accommodating and provided her with the highest standard of care and attention. My grandmother was supported
to bring her cat with her to St David's, as the staff team recognise that Daisy-May (the cat) was so important to her mental wellbeing. They even forgave Daisy-May bringing in 'gifts' from the grounds!
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the care of St David's for two and a half years. As a family, we looked at many nursing homes before finally choosing St David's and we are so pleased we made this choice. I have nothing by praise for the on-site owners and the staff. I would be happy to be looked after in this
home myself and it has totally changed my perception of nursing homes. I do not have to worry about my mother as I know she is well cared for and happy so I can just enjoy my visits to her. In addition, it is a testament to the high standard of management with attention to detail combined with staff dedication that has kept this home thus far Covid free. We have been allowed to visit and so my mother has not forgotten us. The staff know us by name and make us feel welcome. They are always cheerful and truly lovely people.
The home is set in amazing grounds which are very tranquil and this too sets the home apart. I highly recommend this home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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.

St David's looked after my Dad, with above outstanding love and compassion. He was very frail when he came in but the staff always managed to get him to smile and even share a joke. When Dad came to the end of his life, not only was he looked after amazingly, his pain and symptoms were managed, so he
could pass away peacefully and with dignity. Our family were treated with immense love and care and there was nothing the staff would not do for us. We are very, very, grateful.

St David's is welcoming and very well maintained. All members of staff and management do an excellent job, especially the carers. My mother has been a resident for 1 year and throughout this time, she has been assisted with all aspects of daily care. She is cared for with kindness, dignity and respect.
Visiting hours are unrestricted and whenever we visit the staff are very friendly and approachable. I know my mother is receiving the best care and I'm pleased she is happy and feels settled and safe.

I can not find fault with any aspect of the care received by my mother nor with the home itself. The atmosphere is warm, homely, caring and peaceful.

My mother is cared for with kindness, patience and professionalism. Staff and management make every effort to make St David's a 'home from home', treating every resident as an individual and with respect.
St David's is situated in a beautiful and serene setting.
The home is kept clean and the grounds
are well tended. Our family was anxious to find a care home where Mum would be well cared for and kept safe. The team at St David's achieve this and give Mum the help and attention she requires, both day and night.
I am delighted that Mum has settled at St David's.

My Uncle lives with severe dementia and has been at St. David's since December 2017. He becomes agitated and upset when worried and is not always easy to care for. The staff at St David's are kindness itself. They look after him very well and provide a comfortable, calm and secure home for my Uncle.
He is as happy and content as he can be, given the depth of the confusion within him.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for St David's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.972 for St David's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.972
  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 David's Nursing Home is based on 12 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
