Review from Clive T (Son of Resident) published on 24 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I decided to place my mother in St Mary's for respite care while my wife and I went away for a month. We chose St Mary's because it felt like the friendliest home, and we were so impressed by its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. During an unannounced visit before her stay, we found all the residents happy, well cared for, and actively engaged in a variety of activities.
When we returned, my mother couldn't praise the staff highly enough. She loved the food, enjoyed relaxing bubble baths, took part in the activities, and said that nothing was ever too much trouble for any member of the team.
She was a little unsettled during her first week, which is only natural, but by the time she left she was saying, "I'll be back!" In fact, as we've written this review together, her final comment was that she "highly recommends" St Mary's - praise indeed.

Overall Experience
My mother is 97 years old and has lived in this nursing home since 2018. I can honestly say the standard of service ranging from the manager to all of the ancillary staff has been nothing more than brilliant. Everyone is so kind and helpful to not only my mother but also to myself and other members of my family. I would recommend this nursing home to anybody.

Overall Experience
Mum lived in St Mary's Nursing Home for 6 years, from 2019 until she died in June 2025. The carers were very kind and supportive of Mum. She was always able to have a nice laugh with them and even if she wasn't feeling good they were kind to her. I felt she was well looked after in St Mary's.

Review from J L (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother lived at St Mary's for six years until her death in June 2025. My brother and sister in law visited fifteen nursing homes before selecting St Mary's, which they saw as the stand out choice. I have never doubted that choice.
Mum arrived in a physically fragile state and there is no question that St Mary's brought her back to life - we owe the staff a real debt of gratitude. She became, once more, happy, lively and contented. She was very well cared for, which was important as she had multiple disabilities. St Mary's offered real community, with chatter and activities, which Mum had missed whilst still at home. From my perspective, it was great to be able to visit her any time. The carers were always so welcoming and helpful, offering tea and cakes, making suggestions and answering questions. St Mary's was well staffed and I felt that this made it a good place to work as well as to live. I whole-heartedly recommend the home.

Review from Janet B (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum recently spent 11 wonderful months living in St Mary's Nursing Home.
During this time, it became her home in every sense of the word, and thus it became an extension of our family home too. All our family were warmly welcomed, and offered refreshment whenever we visited, mum's great grandchildren had a drawer in her room where they kept some toys , and frequently we would find crayons or Thomas the Tank engine which staff had discovered under the bed!
From every member of the team at St Mary's we have been met with the utmost respect, professionalism, love,laughter and a level of care beyond measure.

Review from Justin C (Nephew of Resident) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
St Mary's Care Home - Stone, is a very special place. It isn't a vast, showy place that brazenly shouts its glory across the rooftops: it is a comfortable, welcoming place that excuses a friendly, caring, nurturing atmosphere. It is clear that all staff care. They go above and beyond each and every day. They want all of their residents to feel safe and cared for...and loved. The management staff were so very welcoming, open and transparent. The initial tour gave access to all areas of the building, and a clear, honest overview of the care we could expect for my aunt.
And, I was disappointed. During her stay, my aunt felt safe, relaxed and was treated with such respect and kindness. She fully retained her own character and personality, and most importantly, her dignity.

We cannot thank the wonderful team at St Mary's enough. They do a remarkable job caring for those who are vulnerable and in need of quality care and kindness in their later years. Thank you to you all.

Review from Suzanne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 June 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our Mum went into St. Mary's 10-months ago, during the lockdown. Because of all the restrictions and safety guidelines, we have not been able to visit Mum as much as we would have liked. However, the caring staff at St Mary's have done an absolutely amazing job of keeping the whole family up to date with Mum's care. The organisational work that the activities coordinators have achieved has been fantastic. They have organised Skype calls, video calls, outdoor and indoor visits (following all the safety guidelines), a truly monumental task. We, as a family, are extremely grateful. I have been involved in the Zoom meetings with the care team and the clinical commissioning group and been able to have an input in discussions about Mum's continuing care. We are very happy with the care, love and attention Mum has received from everyone at St Mary's. Mum seems very content and happy, and we couldn't ask for more. On behalf of all the family, we would like to say a big thank you.
