I have never met so many caring, loving staff as I have here. They are so helpful; they make my mum so welcome. It's like home-from-home. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments. The home has experienced a busy winter so far, and it's good to hear that the staff are continuing to provide the warm welcome that is popular with the home.
The registered manager has a "can do" attitude and was ever so helpful to me and my family.
The physio and hairdresser were kind and professional.
Very impressed with the care.
Glad to be of service. We aim to provide a home-from-home holistic approach for all, especially our respite residents, as it can be very often their first experience of a nursing home.
We have been very lucky to find such a wonderful home.
My mum moved in just over a week ago, she has been to the care home for 11 years, but I wish it had been an option to move her sooner. She has settled in here very quickly and is very well looked after. All the staff, nurses, careers, reception staff, catering team and the handyman are absolutely amazing and will do anything to help; they have made not only my mum feel at home quickly but also me, which means a lot. I know my mum is being well cared for, and they are looking into ways to make things easier for her.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart; it means a lot to know that Mum is happy.
Glad to learn we are hitting all the right spots in providing a welcoming and supportive environment for your Mum. I will ensure your comments are forwarded to the team, who continue to work wearing masks in the home, which makes communication more challenging. Thank you.
My husband has Parkinson's and Dementia and is currently a resident in St George's. St George's is unique in that it has a clinically trained management team whose hard-earned experience has harmonised into a 'top-down/bottom up' management approach which focuses on staff training and prioritises residents' care needs. From the initial assessment to service delivery, all members of the St Georges's care team know what collaborative, patient-centred care is and more importantly, have the expertise and training to implement and deliver that. Astute nursing care, together with a team of carers and ancillary staff with a shared care ethos has resulted in the provision of a consistent, high calibre level of care which means I no longer need to worry about my husband's safety or well-being. That's important, given I had to terminate a previous respite placement with a another provider due to care concerns. Suffice to say, St George's has given me a fresh perspective on residential aged care.
My friend has been in St George's on three occasions for respite care, she has been in other care homes previously, but St George's is the one I am most happy with if she has to be anywhere other than at home.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We do our best to ensure all respite residents feel comfortable and relaxed in our home, just as they would in their own home. I will ensure the staff are made aware of your feedback as it means a lot to them to know they are providing a happy home experience.
How very lucky we have been finding St George's for my mum. The staff are exemplary every day, and it feels like a warm, big, happy family, and they are always available for us. Mum has had depression for 22 years and dementia. St George's have worked their magic - got her out of bed and mixing with people and joining in all the activities - it truly is a miracle.
Thank you for your kind review of our home. So glad that your relative has settled well into our home. We are doing our best to enhance the lives of all our residents and staff post-Covid-19. Our broad age range of staff, a good many, who have NVQ3 and Care Certificates give added value to the team approach. Good to hear we are on the right track, and we will continue to add value to people's day.
certain that St George's Nursing Home was the right choice when the time came to admit my elderly
mother. The home was quiet, orderly, and spotlessly clean throughout, and was obviously very well
managed. Most impressive of all were the nursing staff, from the clinical lead, who was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and efficient, to the rest of the nursing team, who were also dedicated and sympathetic. It was noticeable that patients were being observed on a continual basis, and that nothing was too much trouble. Attention was given to even the smallest details, and at all times, there was a warm and genuinely friendly and caring approach towards the residents as well as to any visitors.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback, which has been shared with our team. I'm so pleased that your Mother felt well cared for and all her needs were attended to during her stay.
The clinical lead and general nursing care were excellent; they liaised with the hospital where the surgery had taken place to establish the necessary care and possible peripheral needs. At the end of my stay, the clinical lead checked that everything was as it should be.
The housekeeping team were friendly, helpful and always willing to make that extra cup of tea if I woke up early; the water jugs went into the dishwasher overnight, so were always sparkling clean. The whole of the floor I was on was spotlessly clean as I walked around it each day practising with my new knee.
The food was varied, well cooked and very well presented with good choices.
Dear Edna, thank you very much for your kind review. We take great pride in our home, our team and the care we provide, and it's nice to hear such good feedback; it uplifts each and every one of our staff, and I will pass your compliments onto them. Take care for the future.
I cannot recommend St George's highly enough. My husband was there almost four years, during which time, the care and support he received were outstanding, and by extension, the wider family were also supported. His care, especially during his final days, ensure my husbands passing was as dignified and pain-free as possible. St George's are not cheap, but they are worth every penny for the peace of mind and care.
Dear Lynne, thank you for your kind words, which we will share with all of our wonderful staff. He was very much part of the St George's family and is dearly missed by everyone. We take great pride in the care and compassion we give to all our residents, their relatives and friends, so we thank you for your sharing your views albeit at a very difficult time. Please take care.
My late mother-in-law was cared for at St George's for several years. She suffered from dementia, which initially affected her memory with a bit of confusion thrown in, but latterly became very severe in the dreadful way dementia does. The care she received at St George's was second to none. We were continually impressed by the dedication of the staff, who truly cared about the residents, doing all they could to ensure that they were happy, occupied and enjoying their time there. We are completely satisfied that my mother-in-law was safe and well cared for at St George's, which gave us peace of mind. At the end of her life, we couldn't have asked for more compassion and understanding of the situation, and will be forever thankful that they allowed us to come in and spend precious time together, despite Covid. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this remarkable home to anyone who needs either temporary or permanent care for themselves or a loved one.
I had a full knee replacement and stayed here for post-operative recovery. The manager was very helpful, fitting in with the hospital dates and ensuring that I had everything I needed. The staff were so kind, knowledgeable and caring. The food was fabulous with a great choice. I would not hesitate to recommend St George’s Nursing Home to anyone. The home exceeded my expectations.
Thank you very much for your review; we are pleased that you had a great stay with us. We value all feedback as it helps us to improve our service.
They have looked after my son for many years. He is very happy here, and they are all very kind and keep me informed.
Thank you so much for your kind review; we very much appreciate the feedback. Regards.
St George’s have been a brilliant support to our Mum and our family since 2016 when we used their home care services. All home care staff and admin staff were lovely and caring. Mum moved into St George’s as a permanent resident in the summer of 2020. Despite the year, we have had with Lockdown, St George’s have been brilliant with Mum and also helpful to us with providing Covid safe visits when possible
Dear Catherine, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, which is much appreciated. We are hopefully coming out of the very strange times of the pandemic and look forward to getting back to opening our doors. Mum has settled very well and very much a part of the St George's family.
My wife has been in care at St George's for over two years and up to the pandemic, I was able to visit her every day and was always impressed with the care she received. When lockdown started, all efforts were made to ensure contact could be maintained either by Skype or phone initially, then by gazebo - sanitised and screened room, or now with limited contact. It gave me great peace of mind throughout these times to know my wife was being cared for by a committed management and staff.
Dear John, thank you for taking the time to write a review; we really appreciate your feedback. Our staff take great care and respect when providing support for all our residents and their loved ones; we are particularly proud of the incredible work they do each and every day. I will personally ensure your comments are shared with all the team here at St George's.
One issue I have noticed is that some residents find eating their main meal at midday difficult, as they are used to the main meal in the evening and I think this problem could be overcome fairly easily if meals were prepared for lunchtime, as at present, but reheated for the evening for those residents who preferred (very few items would be any problem - and these could be omitted from the evening meals).
During the period of more than a year, I have been a resident here and for the 2 years before that when I regularly visited my father-in-law when he was a resident in St Georges. I have been very impressed by the facilities, activities and standard of care. One thing I would like to note, however, is concerns regarding the limited choice of food available to vegetarian residents. Two of my now-adult children are vegetarian and I know how wide a range is possible.
My mother was admitted into St George's after a spell in hospital. We were already using St George's for home help and were already impressed with their care. She settled in immediately and respite changed to permanent when we saw how much she was enjoying the company of the other residents and the care of the staff so much. She is smiling and joking again and re-learning the social skills she had lost.
Thank you for your lovely comments which are very much appreciated by the Staff of St. George's Nursing Home. Thank you.
Unknown at the start of the placement, Mum's stay at the home was only going to be for 3.5 weeks. Mum was assessed as a patient at the local hospital, which was carried out promptly after my request and I was touched by the sensitivity and compassion shown by the assessor during this first meeting. I'd already visited some other homes and St George's became top of the list. This was due to the environment within the home: clean, bright, fresh; type of room available, price range and communal spaces; courtyard garden included. We found that staff were friendly, caring and seemed very happy in their work. Some staff were long standing nursers/carers at St George's. We were always offered a hot drink whenever we visited. My sister and I felt confident that Mum's needs were going to be met appropriately and we weren't disappointed. Mum liked her cosy room and she was cared for appropriately when she remained alert and chatty and also when she needed peace and quiet. We couldn't have wanted anything better for her.
St George's Nursing Home was excellent. The team were caring, well led, reliable and treated with respect and dignity. Any medical concerns were highlighted to our family quickly and the team followed through on all health concerns. The communication was very good and my mother was happy with all the people who supported her.
She was always looked after well with the utmost care, dignity and compassion. All the staff were lovely to my sister and all her visitors - nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff from the nurses, helpers, laundry and kitchen staff right through to the maintenance guys.
My sisters' final months were spent with as much compassion and relief from pain as was possible, which is a huge comfort to the family.
