I walked into the nursing home without an appointment to see if there was a vacancy for respite care. I was greeted very well by the receptionist and was introduced to the team, showed around. Very good first impression and this was again the case when my parent was admitted for a week respite. Excellent care and very professional. Thank you all.
Generally no complaints.
It could have been nice to have had wifi or even a telephone in her room as she was often unable to recharge her mobile phone.
This is why we have given the room a satisfactory rating.
Apart from that, the wonderful staff have enabled an excellent recovery and Mum is now happily back at home.
Thank you very much for the feedback. We are on the process of upgrading our Wifi system in the bedrooms.
My father has had live-in care for the last 3+ years. The carers are very well trained and professional and they are all so kind and deliver excellent levels of care. They work hard to ensure that my dad is safe and very well cared for.
The area manager pops in frequently to check on the carers and always ensures that they are meeting my father's needs and receive training and he always checks we are happy with the service.
We have also recently had input from their nurse lead who helped us with a successful Continuing Healthcare assessment - ensuring the care plan and documentation reflected everything the carers do to help.
Having had experience of several care agencies and nursing homes I rate St.Dominic as one of the best home care and a great option for those looking for excellent service for their loved ones.
The room is clean and comfortable and airy. Overall I am happy to leave my husband in their care.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and appreciation. Very much appreciated.
Although there is a turnover of staff; all of them have been truly wonderful, caring, respectful to Mum and to us as a family. The place is always clean. Mum is always clean.
Thank you for your kind understanding and trust. Very much appreciated.
Toilet needs faster approach.
The care at St Dominic’s has been on the whole very good in the 4.5 years of visiting, however, continuous through all that time has been a lack of cutlery, in particular spoons! Now clothes protectors, serviettes and straws are thin on the ground! Carers frequently have to find spoons (to wash) during mealtime which puts them behind and puts pressure on stretched staff. Some small tables which fit over a bed/chair are worn out and some are in danger of falling over, not adjustable or tilting so the plate/drink can slide off. In the last few months, blankets/cushions in the lounge have become hard to find. Some of the more comfortable recliner chairs in the lounge are worn out and need to be coaxed/supported into position. Not sure there’s much entertainment going on now, maybe I’ve missed the notice? The carers do a great job but it seems the home is spending money on over the top “prettying” the home than spending money where it is needed for the carers to do the job properly and safely.
Rooms are quite good. Young staff members are excellent and extremely helpful.
The resident has some concerns and frustrations with Social services. We had a long chat about this. I respect her management score. I believe we supported the couple in a manner to meet their expectations.
My Mother's care home was closed down and we moved her here. So far we are most impressed with the home. The staff are friendly and efficient and seem to have my Mothers welfare at heart above all else. The whole atmosphere is light, clean and friendly. She has only been here for two months but from our experience so far I wish we had moved her a long time ago.
Thank you kindly for all your positive and wonderful experience at St. Dominics. We will continue to offer a holistic approach towards quality care services for all. Very much appreciated.
I am always welcomed every time I visit, and cups of tea are always provided. The nursing element of care is excellent and my wife has a very comprehensive care plan in place.
The management always keeps me up to date no matter how trivial something may be and they listen to any issues that may arise and deal with it promptly.
I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely care home to anybody who is looking for a caring care home.
It has been a pleasure having you being part of the home. Thank you for the trust and for choosing St. Dominic's Nursing Home. The team is most grateful for your genuine contribution.
My father has been at the home for a year and a half now.
I am full of praise for all the staff there.
Their attention to detail, care and ensuring the dignity of the clients is awesome.
The home has an excellent communication policy, I am in regular contact with the staff and I always feel welcome to visit my father whenever I want to.
The staff all seem very well trained and well informed regarding the clients and their needs.
I feel very happy that my father and my mother before him are very well looked after.
The manager is the most professional, friendly, compassionate of any of the care homes that my mother has been in.
The head of care and nursing staff (RGN), very professional, kind and compassionate and ready to assist always. One nurse in particular and my mother are very close and share many happy times.
The senior carers, are very good. They are kind, caring and always ready to assist. Two senior carers have become very close to my mother and a very deep friendship with love and laughter.
The carers, work very hard, professional and are friendly and always there to assist or just have a chat.
Activities, some really nice things both from a sensory and a cognitive standpoint.
Food - The quality of the food is very good.
Room - The rooms are very nice and clean with enough space to live in.
Recommended for long-term or respite care.
Now that my mother is now a resident I see how lovely the staff are towards mum. They are always kind and nothing is too much trouble. When mum is a little out of sorts the staff greet me straight away and inform me of what the problem seems to be so I can deal with it with mum. Nothing is ever any trouble.
Well Done To All Staff.
