Review from Cheryl M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandfather has been here for 9 months. We were worried he wouldn't settle but the care he has received has been second to none. The staff are lovely, his surroundings are calm and his every need is met - even if he wants porridge at dinner-time. The home is clean and tidy. There are lots of things
for residents to do, should they wish.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very impressed with this nursing home. My sister was here for 13 months and the staff and carers were exceptional kind and caring I could never praise this home enough, she was very happy there and ended her life peaceful and happy, which made me and my husband very happy the way she passed away.
I can't praise them enough, excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved to the home two years ago following repeat hospital admissions. At the time I felt she was so poorly that she was at the end of her life. However with the care and compassion in the home my mother was soon settled and her physical health rapidly improved. Two years on she is physically
well and enjoying her life. Thank you to all the staff for all that they do and the way in which they do it.

Review from Debbie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad was moved here for palliative care from hospital. He had been very agitated while in hospital, his demeanour changed on entering St Georges. The atmosphere was calming and happy. The staff were outstanding in their attitude care and attention, not only to my Dad but to the whole family. Nothing
was too much trouble for them. I couldn't have wished for a better place for him. I give them 5 stars and would recommend this place to everyone. Many thanks to you all, keep up the good work.

Review from Maureen M (Mother-in-law of Resident) published on 17 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son- in-law was in the care of St Georges for the last 6 weeks of his life , all the staff looked after him with compassion and his dignity remained to the end, he could have been anyone of their relative's the way they looked after him.
My daughter and their two little boys were shown so much love
and support during this difficult time, we were always welcome day or night and greeted with a hug or a shoulder should we need.
I cannot praise this wonderful home and their dedicated team enough.
Thank you

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my husband received here in his final weeks was more than I could of wished for. The staff and management welcomed my husband and all of us, his friends and family, as part of their family. They helped us though bad days as much as him.
In such a short time they were family to us, they are
all so special to do what they do for others loved ones everyday and I cannot thank them enough. A few recommended St George's to me, saying they work in the industry and wouldn't hesitate to put a family member there.. I can understand why! xxx

Review from Andy B (Son of Resident) published on 11 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved Mum from anther care home to St Georges in June, because the numbers of carers in her first home was below the number needed to care for the residents, consequently the level of care they were able to give was inadequate. The contrast at St Georges was startling. The carers always work in pairs.
They respond quickly to the call bell, and act with care, compassion and understanding. Having experienced two care homes with my Mum, St Georges is definitely the "Gold Standard". The activities are varied, the food is good and tasty, the facilities are excellent. You have everything you need at St Georges including caring staff, who are managed excellently.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum lived here for 3 years. She had Parkinson's and sadly lost her mobility over the 3 years. My sister and I were so thankful to have found a place like St. Georges - good care and a professional attitude from staff at all levels. While feeling up to it, Mum loved the lunches shared with friends
in the dining room, with a glass of wine. The activities programme generated a real community atmosphere and provided lots of choice, so important to keep residents engaged and having a bit of fun. Mum loved telling us all about the activities she had done and the monthly newsletter provided lots of interest for her and us. Photos taken of her at various activities are treasured by my sister and I. End of life care was thoughtful and sensitive and staff at every level were so comforting and supportive of the family in Mum's last days. There was a sense that everyone truly cared about Mum. My sister, living locally, was able to raise any issues directly with staff and managers and matters were attended to satisfactorily. The ability of family to have this dialogue with the care home is very important for the well being and understanding of the resident and helps relatives to be assured that they are doing all they can for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for St George's Nursing Home Witham 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 5.000 for St George's Nursing Home Witham is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 98 Ratings = 5
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St George's Nursing Home Witham is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 9 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2014

Hello and welcome to St George's. I would like to introduce myself with some background so that you can get a feel of what is important to me and the team.


My nursing career began at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London and once I qualified, my career has followed a very broad and diverse path. I joined the Queen Alexanders Royal Army Nursing Corps in 1982 and this was quickly followed by a commission in the Omani army. My experience of 47 years has culminated in a passion for the care of older people and here at St George's I get to experience this every day. I arrived at St Georges in 2014, along with my mother, who became a resident, and I accepted the role of Deputy Manager. My mother had two lovely years in the home before her death and I decided to continue in my role at St George's. I am now the Registered Manager and continue to embrace the quality of life with our residents. Every day is important to us and we would ike to share this with you.
