The care and affection St Joseph's showed my relative was incredible. I will always be so grateful as to how well they looked after him, as well as me and my family. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you all so, so much!
Thank you so much for your review and I will pass on to the staff.
My husband is completely bedbound, with only real movement being along his right arm, and staff were able to advise me on suitable replacement clothing. Dressing him in his formed shirts and tops had become too painful for him to cope.
Staff all chat with him and are well aware of his likes and dislikes. On days when speaking is not his preferred way of communicating, they follow his eye and hand movements to get yes or no answers and following a preference improves his mood or comfort.
While I was on a week's holiday, he was beautifully cared for. I found him relaxed and happy on my return; this did not happen a year ago in his previous care home.
Thank you for your kind review, and I will pass this on to all of the staff.
My mother was transferred to the home when she was poorly. The care she continued to get from the team is outstanding. Being a nurse myself, I will recommend a loved one to be placed in this care facility. Staff are friendly and show alot of interest in the patient's wellbeing. My mother is now doing very well, and I'm not worried knowing that she is in good hands. Thanks to all the staff and the health care team.
I spent nine days of respite care in St Joseph's and found the staff caring, compassionate and cheerful. The food was clean and well decorated. The PPE admission assessment could have been a bit more comprehensive, but all issues there were resolved within a couple of hours of admission. Excellent facility.
Before my uncle arrived, I phoned. A young man was so kind and helpful. I already like the place before he had even arrived. A nurse took us to uncle. Again so kind, had all the time in the world for us. Even made me a tea. Then while we were still visiting, a nurse came to feed Uncle. She was so caring, always talking to him, no rush feeding him. He was only there two days, but the best two days possible.
Thank you for your kind review, which I will pass on to the staff.
Fantastic staff, courteous, professional, lovely rooms, beautiful grounds and excellent food.
Thank you for your lovely review which I will pass on to all of the staff.
Following a severe stroke, my sister was admitted to St Joseph's and whilst there, she was looked after very well. The staff were always kind and considerate and made sure she did not suffer in her last days.
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, your sister was unable to fully participate in our activities due to her advanced health condition but she was visited daily by the activities team for one to one attention. As a fully-funded client the value for money is extremely good and the care is of a high standard as shown by our most recent CQC report and 5-star kitchen rating.
My husband has been in this nursing home since February 2017. The care in this home is excellent. He is always clean, well-fed and his every need is taken care of. I am always informed of any change in his care plan. Even though he is bedridden, he is still included in the entertainment.
I would definitely recommend St Joseph's Nursing Home, they have been my mothers care providers for nearly 2 years now. The care she receives is excellent, and the staff are very helpful and compassionate to her needs. The residents all look settled and happy, and the home is very clean. The staff are also very helpful and informative. I am grateful to St Joesph's for all the care they giving.
Very happy with quality of service. My Mum is treated with dignity and has all her needs met. We are kept advised at all times. The staff and management are a credit to the company.
My husband had a tumour on his pelvis and was on palliative care. From the moment he was in there, until he died 6 weeks later, the care was excellent, and was out of pain, he was always clean and shaved and well-fed. It was a shame he could not appreciate it.
We were relieved when mum arrived at St Joseph's Nursing Home from a residential home. The deputy manager had travelled with me to Surrey during her annual leave to assess mum so that a plan of care could be made. On the day of admission, mum received a wonderful welcome, and every attempt was made to make her feel at home. Mum was always clean and made comfortable, able to rest in bed when she needed to. Unfortunately, after just a few days there, mum had a major stroke. The nurses and carers were able to provide appropriate care so, mum did not spend her last days in a hospital. Something she would have hated. Mum died peacefully at St Joseph's a couple of days later. Mum was kept comfortable and clean at all times. I am a health care professional myself, and I could not fault the staff. The nurses and carers were excellent, very professional, very supportive, nothing was too much, and they all provided outstanding nursing care. We feel very blessed to have found St Joseph's Nursing Home.
Thank you for your review which I will pass on to all of the staff.
Well done to all from the top to the foot workers and voluntary workers - even the onsite handy man was cheery, happy and lovely!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I will pass this on to all of the staff.
Excellent care for my mum and support for her family. Not really anything I can fault, always made to feel welcome and kept informed with all aspects of her care.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will pass this on to all of the staff.
The home and rooms are always clean and well kept.
Without exception the staff are friendly, caring and treat the residents like their family.
The food is always fresh and well cooked.
I genuinely cannot find one fault with this home and would thoroughly recommend it.
I could not have hoped for my mum's last days to be spent in such good surroundings.
Thank you so much for your very positive review. I will pass this onto all of the staff.
My husband was in St Joseph’s for 6 months, and although he was very ill he was very happy with the care he received, especially from his carers not forgetting the chefs who couldn’t do enough to encourage him to eat. My daughter and I could not have found a better home for him to spend his final few months and we are very grateful to all who worked there. His loving wife and his daughter.
The staff were absolutely incredible. I cannot commend them all enough. From nursing care right down to the kitchen staff and cleaners. Everyone so personable and caring.
Mums room was quiet and private, overlooking beautiful grounds and her care was second to none.
The staff were regular and Mum had early onset Alzheimer's so continuity was important. Mum was so happy here.
Mum had final stages of cancer. The nursing care and palliative care she had was fantastic. She never felt any pain or discomfort.
We as her family were also looked after I feel. We were never rushed, always informed and I felt Mums care was very transparent which I liked, by this I mean that the care folder was always on hand for us to view and add to. There are kitchen facilities for us to use too (tea, coffee) as well as a fridge if we were to bring our own sandwiches/food during our visit.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I will pass your comments on to all of the staff.
Thank you
Thank you very much for your kind review and I will pass your comments onto the staff.
My father stayed at St.Joseph's for around five weeks. The care that he received was very thoughtful and kind. The staff were always very helpful and kept us informed of how dad was getting on. We are most grateful to everyone that looked after him during the last days that he had, thank-you from all the family and friends that visited him at your care home.
Thank you for your kind review which I will pass on to all of the staff.
My wife was at St Joseph's Nursing Home receiving end of life care for 3 months. In every respect the care she received was excellent. I don't think we could have found a better place. She was looked after by all the staff - admin - carers - nursing - catering - cleaning - they also looked after me! I can't thank them all enough.
Thank you Derek for your kind review. I will pass on to all of the staff
