They have been extremely patient with her and very kind despite her sometimes being very difficult.

On arrival, there is always a calm, pleasant atmosphere.
The receptionist is welcoming and staff helpful and caring.
The activity carers, in particular, are so good with the residents and seem to actively enjoy looking after the residents. I feel very assured my mother is being well cared for.

My mother went to St George's Nursing Home as emergency respite. We cannot fault the admission procedure, care, nursing and activities staff, all of whom made mum and her family very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble excellent standards of cleanliness and care. Thank you for making a difficult time
so much easier for the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum stayed in St George's for 3 weeks on respite care and has said she would be very happy to stay there again.
The staff were very friendly and looked after mum with great care. She was encouraged to join in with activities but never pushed. Catering was excellent. Mum was very comfortable in her
en-suite room and said the stay did her the world of good.

Review from J M (Resident) published on 17 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am seriously disabled and came here in July 2016 with a variety of sores (a dozen in all), all of which have now healed but that on my sacrum is vulnerable since much of my time I'm sitting on it! I'm therefore obliged to go to bed earlier than I'd like, 17.30pm!
I can't call it home but have to
acclimatise to living in such a place as this, and as such, am relieved to be in such a good establishment. But costly at £5500 per month and not when woken at 5 am on consecutive mornings to be turned.
Reply from Tilla Wagner, Registered Manager at St George's Nursing Home

We are very pleased that your skin has healed so well and that although you cannot call this home we are honoured to have you with us. We like to think we work hard at making St George's as homely as possible within a nursing environment. Thank you for taking the time to complete this review.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of St George's for five years. She has been extremely well looked after and is very happy. The whole team create a feeling and ethic that St George's in my mothers home and that they are there to look after her. She particularly likes the activities, which are both imaginative
and creative, full credit to the activities team. It is so important that the elderly and frail have a daily purpose.
Staff in reception and the finance office are helpful and efficient at all times. Deputy matron excellent, only sour note, new nurses will not give their names.
Reply from Tilla Wagner, Registered Manager at St George's Nursing Home

It is so nice to read that your Mother is being well cared for in St George's. Our aim is to always ensure the resident's needs are met both on a nursing level and on an individual level. I will look into why new nurses do not give their names! Thank you for taking the time to complete the review.

Review from Anthony M (Son of Resident) published on 7 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent six months in St George's and passed away there aged 94. She received the very best of care, both medically and for her as a person. The activities team were wonderful with her as were the nursing and care team. She looked at St George's as her home.
The staff were also very understanding
of my needs as a relative. A wonderful place, always spotlessly clean and a happy environment that I visited every day.
Thank you, St George's for all you did.
Reply from Tania Walbanke, HR Administrator at St George's Nursing Home

We are so happy to have made a difficult time for all bearable. The fact that your Mother felt this was her home is praise in itself. Thank you for taking the time to complete a review.

I have always been more than happy with the care my mother has received at St George's. She is very happy and settled there and I am confident that the staff have her best interests at heart and allow her to be as independent as she can be in a safe and secure environment.
For me, this gives great
peace of mind that I have done the best for her too.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.803)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.803) out of 10 for St George's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.803 for St George's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.803
  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 George's Nursing Home is based on 14 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
