Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on St Giles Care Home: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.4 out of 10 for St Giles Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for St Giles Care Home in Google's Search Results – more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.617 for St Giles Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.617
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this care provider to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews; 3.00 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 24 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 48 months. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.758 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Giles Care Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3.00 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 13.2 positive Reviews (66 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 10 Reviews ÷ 13.2 Target = 0.758
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
St Giles Care Home has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.375) out of 10 and an Average Rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews over all time

It is a lovely caring place the staff are so friendly and have a lot of time for the residents, and do a lot of fun activities with them and get them all to join in.
Could not fault the care home.

My mum was admitted to St Giles Care Home after a broken hip and arm in Jan 2018. She is now a full-time resident. I cannot fault the management team and carers here they are first class. Mum always well looked after, clean and happy. Food is superb, the manager is excellent and so lovely and caring. Would highly recommend St Giles Care Home.

Mom is cared for with lots of respect and is very happy with the standard of care she gets. Sometimes it can get busy but they always explain and then come and help Mom. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Always something going on to keep Mom busy. Most importantly, Mom feels safe and happy.

I just want to say this is an amazing home. Everyone on staff team care and look after my aunt's every need. She is constantly telling me how happy she is here and how good "all the girls are" and how hard working they are. I especially want to say thank you to the housekeeper and her staff and how clean my aunt's room is and how they don't mind dusting all her ornaments.

All the staff including Carers, Nurses, Reception, Manager showed compassion, empathy and humanity towards my mother and our family. We were all amazed by this because we had post care at my mother's previous home.
They could not do enough for my mother and our family- we all felt very much at home. We cannot thank them enough. St Giles have a very special team of staff that will be hard to find anywhere else.

When my husband came to reside here, I was a bit unsure about the place. My husband took a while to settle in. Over the last few weeks, things are a lot better. I have come to understand the workings of the home and how hard the staff work, and their dedication. If I had any doubts before, I don't now. Well done everyone involved. Full marks!

Review submitted on 10 October 2017 from a Website Submission by Charmaine S (Daughter of Resident). on Tuesday 10 October 2017 . Relates to October 2017.
I'm disappointed in this care home. My dad stayed for a while after a stroke and was often not looked after correctly. He had a fall the first night, was given drinks without thickener and stodgy food when on a pureed diet. His room was left for days without being cleaned.
The last few days he was there being the worst; with his bed not changed, floor not vacuumed, bins not emptied, urine and wet tissue all over the bathroom floor with dirty pads piled up.
I'm grateful to the few that did their job correctly but cleaning standards are low.

This is a lovely home to visit. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The Home Manager is always around and very approachable. The decoration of the home is beautiful. There is a varied activities programme.

Review submitted on 7 August 2017 from a Website Submission by David W (Friend of Resident). on Monday 7 August 2017 . Relates to August 2017.
Our friend has great difficulty in moving or communicating.
Visiting her, since she was moved to St Giles about six months ago, we see the staff looking after her in a respectful, good-humoured and kind manner. She is brought into the lounge regularly and proper records are kept of pressure relief.
St Giles is clean and welcoming and our impression is that our friend is well cared for.

What a lovely home. Staff are friendly and approachable and cared so much.
I spoke with the manager, who was caring and listened she was around the home which was reassuring and had a good rapport with her team. The deputy is a lovely person and knowledgeable.
The care received is excellent and this home needs to be recognised for the good things it does.
Well done to all at St Giles a credit to care homes.

St Giles is an upcoming and vibrant environment, with many plans ahead in improving the home for the sake of the residents. I am excited to see the future changes each time I visit the home. I am really enjoying seeing the Facebook page of all the new activities and day trips happening, it really helps to advertise the home showing these activities happening as I do not always get to visit the home on a certain date and time.

Review submitted on 11 August 2016 from a Website Submission by Judith H (Volunteer). on Thursday 11 August 2016 . Relates to July 2016.
I have been assisting in care homes for at least five years now. In that time I have seen homes where there are many good aspects, but never one where everyone seems to be pulling together to achieve the best they can for their residents until I arrived at St Giles that is.
The management style allows everyone, including residents, to get involved in how the home functions, allowing residents to feel valued and staff to take ownership of everything they do.
Part of working in a care home inevitably brings you into contact with people in the final phase of their lives. I can honestly say the dignity and respect shown to residents and their families at this time, at St Giles, is the best I have seen.
