My wife receives professional, compassionate and kindly care.
We, the family, were treated with respect and consideration and many small kindnesses.
We are so pleased that my beloved wife spent her dying days so well cared for.

I have found the care home team to be fantastic it really has a happy vibe. Everyone is friendly, helpful and very supportive. I have been in many times and heard lots of laughter.
My dad's room has been kept very clean and the home itself doesn't smell stale or of food. My dad has been well cared
for and his needs have been met a massive thank you.

My mother has been a resident in St Andrews since August 2018 she is 101. All the staff I have met have been very friendly and treat the residents with warmth, care and respect. The home is clean and well maintained. The food is of very good quality. It gives me great piece of mind knowing my mum is
being cared for in this home by such wonderful staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum moved into St Andrews just before Christmas as she was no longer safe in her own home or able to care for herself. Whilst the last couple of months have been difficult for Mum, the care that both Mum and I have received at St. Andrews has been excellent. All staff, whatever their role, have been
kind and helpful. Mum is eating well and looks more like her 'old' self. I feel that any requests I have made have been dealt with and am confident that Mum is safe.

The home continues to provide care and accommodation for my aged mother to the standard I would expect (and what she self-funds for).
She is unable to mover herself, is deaf and has dementia. She is treated with dignity and genuine affection by most of the staff.

Review from Ian J (Husband of Resident) published on 12 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to St Andrew's Nursing & Care Home in April 2018 with early onset dementia. Since then she has been very well looked after by all the staff, who have provided her with the care and attention she has required. A very pleasant nursing home, the staff are always pleasant and welcoming
when we visit her and she feels “at home” in these surroundings. The home is maintained to a very high standard, clean and a pleasure to visit. Recently (2018) a patio area with a secure gate was opened so residents could sit outside if they wished to, which was a nice addition to the home. Our dogs are regular visitors and the residents really enjoy their visits. Overall a very nice welcoming nursing home.

From her admission in March, my wife has settled very well with the valuable assistance from all the really pleasant staff. Is constantly "homesick" which clearly isn't realistic at present but the staff are well aware and encouraging her with understanding. Difficult to expect to find as friendly and
helpful care home anywhere else!

Father-in-law has been in St Andrews for a year now and has been treated with dignity and respect. He really enjoys the food. All the staff are lovely, especially one lady in particular.

All staff I have come in contact with have been very friendly. Any questions have been answered and dealt with efficiently. My mum has a lovely room and is happy. She is coming on really well. The meals are good and varied. You have a choice each meal time. My mum is fussy but loves the meals provided.
From
the cleaners, cooks to the nurses. All lovely, friendly and professional. Nursing care is very good.
I never feel a nuisance when I ring.

Review from Jacqueline G (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at St Andrew's since July 2017 and I can not speak highly enough of the love and care she has received during that time. I am sure that the time that she has spent there has enhanced and increased the time that she has had left to her.


That care was also extended to myself and

family members who visited her.


Sadly, she passed away on Monday 10th July and the care we all received during the final days of her life was second to none.


I would like to congratulate St Andrew's on the calibre of all the staff who work there and thank them all for their hard work and commitment to their residents.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A converted vicarage with modern extension a few miles from Sleaford. Consists of a variety of rooms, with a variety of facilities, all pleasantly decorated. Food of good quality, frequent tea trolley with biscuits! Staff treat patients with warmth and care, a chat with various residents confirms this
from their perspectives. A selection of activities arranged for the residents over the last year of so include a visit to the parrot zoo, Christmas carols by children from a local school, an annual garden fete, a handful of singers of varying genres, a wildlife enthusiast with a curious collection of animals (including meerkats), and quizzes. It would be nice if the residents could have the garden enclosed in the summer, as at present the drive and parking for the home runs through it, making it unusable for my father who would wander off. Phone calls at any time are welcomed to allay worries, visits also. Dog visits seem to be welcome, and most residents like this.

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.
