I believe St Andrew's Nursing & Care Home provides a safe environment for my aunt.
Her necessary needs are met by professional staff, whilst her personal care and any independent requests are respected.
I take comfort in knowing that my aunt is safe, secure and cared for, as I am not local to the
care home.

This is a good home, and they cope well with many challenges. The nursing team and the management work well and hard. They get to know the families, and this ensures that the care provided meets the needs of the resident but also alleviates worries and bespoke the best for everyone. Recent upgrades
and improvements to the rooms and fabric of the building show how the care is continued even in the hardest of times, and everything is done to maximise the health, safety and comfort of residents, staff and visitors.

My mum has been in care at St Andrew’s for a year now. Mum is bedridden but receives great compassionate care from all staff.
I live overseas but have visited Mum twice since she became a resident.
I ring during the night and always get to speak to a nurse about how Mum is. When I myself get old
and have Dementia, I want St Andrew’s to care for me.

My husband has been a resident of St Andrew's for only one month, but I have found the staff were happy to help me by caring for him and myself when needed. The home itself is secure and seemingly well-run. I have had no complaints so far.
He has settled down and seems content in his surroundings
(he has been diagnosed with mid-dementia); the staff are quite aware of this and are able to deal with all that this entails, and I am happy to leave him in their care because of our situation.

My brother has been in St Andrews for eight months now, and his care has been fantastic. They are kind and professional, even when he is in a bad mood. Nothing is too much trouble, and they keep me informed about any ongoing health issues. The home is very clean, bright and welcoming, making it lovely
for the residents as well as a beautiful place to visit.

My mother was a resident for the last 18 months of her life, and I can honestly say that St Andrew's is a wonderful, caring and loving place. All the staff were extremely loving and caring. I was upset not to be able to visit Mum during Covid but felt comfortable knowing she was in a safe place.

My mum was originally sent to St Andrew's for respite after being in hospital. She is too poorly to ever go home again. I was worried about her going into care but this place is a little gem. The staff are wonderful and really kind. My mum is so well looked after. Our family couldn't have wished for
anywhere better.

Excellent!
Nobody wants to place their mother in a home, and it broke my heart to have to due to the care she needs and deserves.
St Andrews has been from day one, like an extended family for Mum.
Having looked at several other homes in the area, this shone through and Mum has been a resident for
over a year.
They treat her with the same respect and care as if she was their own relative, which has been a huge comfort when physical visits were paused for covid.
They arranged distanced visits when allowed and built a pod so safe visits could resume asap.
They have a great team with constant and varied activities.
They have definitely treated and continue to treat Mum with utmost respect and dignity always updating us, and we can contact Mum via phone anytime. Visits are scheduled due to covid, so all families get a chance, but are as regular as I want.
Perfect team.

My mum has been in St Andrew's nursing home for several years and is very happy and settled. She is very well looked after, and as a family, we are extremely pleased with the wonderful care she receives. We have no worries or concerns, which is much better than previous homes. Mum is really happy here.
The staff are brilliant with her and have worked amazingly hard through Covid restrictions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first step inside St Andrew's you get a 'good feeling'. It is clean and tidy without the awful smell that many care homes have. The staff didn't recognise me so asked who I was visiting and escorted me to my sister-in-law's room. The room was lovely with a fabulous feature fireplace, high ceilings
and very nice decor. It was very clean and the large window let in plenty of light. The staff that came into the room on regular occasions were extremely friendly and jolly. I left St Andrew's feeling very satisfied that my beloved sister-in-law was definitely in the best place. I made a crochet rainbow bunting and contacted the home to see if it could be hung in the room and they were more than happy to do so. During the awful time of being unable to visit, it's reassuring to know that the residents are all being looked after so well. The staff are definitely going above and beyond with regular videos and photographs.

Staff are friendly and caring to residents and relatives and go above and beyond in their duty of care and the consideration they give to the residents. Activities and entertainment provided for the residents are varied and a lot of thought goes into the weekly entertainment programme which is currently
being provided by the staff and they are doing an excellent job. There is always someone on the end of a phone to answer your enquiry and reassure you and comfort you when necessary. Residents always appear happy and well cared for. Well done St Andrew's keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for St Andrew's Nursing & Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.726 for St Andrew's Nursing & Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.726
  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 Andrew's Nursing & Care Home is based on 10 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 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.
