Review from Jennifer S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 25 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My beloved granny felt at home in St George's for 10.5-years, and every time I visited from Switzerland, I could feel the care and attentiveness to her physical and psychological well-being. The staff were also very considerate to her family, always attentive to our worries and questions. She was very
content, and they respected her different needs and wishes not forcing her into anything she didn't want to do and adapting to my grandmother's decreasing health but still treating her with dignity as the individual she was!
Reply from David Ashworth, Managing Director at St George's Nursing Home

Thank you very much for the kind words and the time taken to write this review. We will share these words with our staff team, and we are glad that we have contributed in some way to your grandmother's wonderful life.

The manager and the staff go out of their way to make us welcome during our visits, and my mum receives excellent care. I can't thank them enough for their kindness. They have gone to great lengths to ensure we are all safe during visits.

My mum spent her last two years at St. George's and in all that time she was treated with great care compassion and dignity. The staff are amazing and were always very supportive to both mum and me. I will be eternally grateful to them.

The staff at St George's Nursing Home gave our mother fantastic care in her time with them.
We were always made welcome when we visited Mum and were able to go to see Mum at any time.
It was made clear that we should treat the home as if it was Mum's home.
All aspects of Mum's care were undertaken
with diligence and respect.

Excellent care from managers to carers and office staff.
The food was lovely, always found something mum could eat and fancied.
Also very good support for family and visiting times excellent.
It looks a very old building but look beyond a fancy environment as the care makes up for so much.

Review from L H (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident of St George's for about 15 months when she got to the point where she needed end of life care.
She had been cared for with great respect and dignity whilst there and this continued into her final hours.
The staff (all of them) are wonderful and care, not only for the
resident but the people close to her and the impact that the loss will have on them.
We were so grateful that Mum spent her final days feeling loved and totally pain-free.

The care and attention received by my friend, whilst she was a resident at St George's Nursing Home was exceptional. All good, both physically and mentally. The six months of her final days spent there were happy, relaxed and enjoyable as her every need was catered for at all times, with warmth and
compassion.

Review from David A (Son of Resident) published on 25 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother came to St George's after being in a failing home where she lost a lot of weight. Her spirits perked up very quickly after the move from hospital (the staff are exceptional) and she soon started eating again, despite having been judged "end of life". The managers and staff are very much on
the ball. All in all a very reassuring place. Cannot recommend it enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the home since last October and has settled extremely well. The staff are so kind and genuinely care for her. It's a great relief to know that she is safe and well looked after. We are welcome to visit at anytime and the staff are always happy to talk to us if we need to. It really
is more of a 'home' than a nursing home which we think is why mum is relaxed and not stressed about her surroundings.

St George's has provided my mother with exemplary care over the five years she has been a resident. The staff show utmost kindness, consideration, respect and humour to all. If she is asleep at mealtimes and requires food on waking it is provided. My mother is very content and feels safe and loved.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
At the age of 93 and suffering dementia it was a terrific strain on the whole family to keep dad at home but because of our love for him we did not want him to go into a home, but we soon realised we need not have worried. The staff were brilliant and made his last days as happy and comfortable as possible.
I cannot praise them enough.

My mother spent the last few months of her life at St Georges. She could be quite difficult but staff always managed to care for her with kindness, dignity and good humour. St Georges is very homely and the staff team clearly enjoy their work. In her final weeks my mother was cared for in accordance
with her wishes without unnecessary interventions and with a care plan I was involved in drawing up. Thank you St Georges.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.612)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.612) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.612 for St George's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 147 Ratings = 4.612
  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 13 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
