St George's Nursing Home Witham

I really cannot fault the care provided and am so glad I chose St George's

Although I can always ask the management team of nursing staff about my father, it would be good if they gave a progress report of any changes/visits by a doctor etc. It could be a two-way process where we can also feedback about Dad's feelings - depression/happy etc.

The carers and staff are very helpful and treat my Mum with the utmost respect.

Expert medical opinion resulted in the ending of further chemotherapy for our son. He arrived at the nursing home needing loving care in his final days. That is exactly what he received day and night for his remaining seven days. Every member of staff was outstanding in their care and speedy responses to his needs. He commented after three days that he had made the right decision by choosing St Georges's.

The staff, all included, were and are still brilliant. The word care at St George's was executed and I am grateful to them. I would highly recommend to anybody. Thank you one and all at St Geroge's care home, Witham, Essex.

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.

A friendly and welcoming environment with caring and well trained staff.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you

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

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.

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.
