St Mary’s Nursing Home is a care home in the Greater Manchester suburb of Moston that provides high standards of nursing and residential care.

This includes care for people with challenging physical needs, those with a dementia or a related condition, as well as palliative, day and respite care.

Dedication to kind and considerate care has led to St Mary’s achieving the Gold Standards Framework (Commended) for palliative care and a Dignity in Care award.

St Mary’s has a chapel on site, which features stained glass and a marble altar.

Residents and members of the public are welcome to attend mass, which is broadcast into rooms throughout the home on both television and radio.

The home offers a clean, comfortable and welcoming environment for care.

Rooms are clean, welcoming and homely, while a guest room provides a peaceful place for friends and family to stay. Lounge areas and a light, airy garden room provides relaxing communal spaces, while a unisex hair salon provides hair cuts.

The sense of serenity within is enhanced by a private walled and landscaped area to the front and mature woodland gardens to the rear that border onto the pleasant green space of Broadhurst Park.

A food menu is served in dining areas throughout the home, while a tea room provides residents with a place to enjoy treats and light bites.

Great emphasis is placed on providing residents with a programme of activities, with the home’s minibus enabling residents to take day trips out.

Located just three miles (5km) to the north-east of Manchester city centre, St Mary’s is within easy access of the M60, with bus stops, a Metrolink tram stop and train station close by.

Our overall experience as our marks show is good the satisfactory mark for food is that, if you are expecting restaurant quality you'll be disappointed. The mark for value for money I'm not sure because my wife's is being paid by the N.H.S so thats why I put satisfactory but I would happily recommend

We are really pleased with the care given to our dad. The staff attend to all of his needs on a daily basis and he is always treated with dignity. His room is well-equipped, light and airy. The staff are always offering the parents drinks and snacks throughout the day. Dad has always looked well-presented

Mum resided here for 5 and half years for the most part very comfortably and well cared for. At times, there were issues but when addressed to management these concerns were listened to and considered. The staff are friendly helpful especially the activities team, all caring and considerate. The home
is clean and comfortable, whilst care is good, there could be more staff on units, sometimes staff are busy and others needs have to wait.

All the staff at St Mary's are all wonderful. Not only with all the care given to Dad, but also how well they look after Mum when she visits. Saying thank you does not seem enough to express how grateful the family are for all they do everyday, and always with a smile. It is spotlessly clean, everywhere
and the lovely cleaning ladies, care workers and nurses really do go above and beyond in all they do. The receptionist, office staff and activities team are all so welcoming and caring and always take the time to ask after Dad. All Dad's needs are taken care of and we all feel part of the St Mary's family.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
They do the best they can but there are not enough permanent staff, staff that know the residents, more continuity required.
More weekend or evening activities, like live sport events.
Improved outside area to sit and enjoy and sheltered area for smokers.
Access to door codes, making it feel very
restricted and loss of freedom.
More activities for getting residents moving.
Better quality food, better variety of food, more flexibility, to use kitchen to make a brew or a slice of toast. Takeaway night, fish and chips, pizzas etc
The food is totally unseasoned, meat tastes like jelly, needs a decent gravy, pastry is always undercooked.
Laundry needs overhaul, lots of clothes items go missing and never come back despite being fully labelled.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Mum was sent to the St Joseph's unit following a stay in hospital for an assessment of her care needs. The room is in need of refurbishment, with dirty walls, flaking paint, and holes in need of filling. Equipment with trailing cables left on the floor. On the day of arrival, I requested a raised toilet
seat and again the following day before one was found. The flush on the toilet was poor, which I pointed out to the manager, who said he would get maintenance to look at it but it failed to flush altogether, so no flushing toilet in the room for a whole week, staff had to flush it with bowls of water. Food is served on plastic plates. Stained pillowcases were left unchanged for 3 days due to a sore, weeping ear which took over 2 weeks before a Doctor prescribed some cream for it. The clanging church bell (a relic of the previous Catholic brother's home) housed above Mum's room rang loudly and randomly. After 3 weeks I removed her from their care as she couldn't take anymore. More of an institution than a care home. I could go on.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Since my last review on my brother's pathetic treatment by management at St Mary's care home on st Mary's Road Moston Manchester, he was found on the floor. The staff were not sure how long he had been there. In fact, l have had four different versions of where and how he was found. No contact at all
from management to say my brother had fallen. It was left to one of the nice helpers. He was sent to hospital for a checkup and stayed for a couple of days and was treated great by the hospital who l might add said he was quiet and no trouble at all, yet St Mary's care home now refuses to have him back. They have just dumped him on the NHS without a thought for him or my family. Management did not have the common courtesy to let us know what a dirty trick they had pulled, all because they had messed up in the first place by giving my brother's room to someone else and then trying to cover it up. Senior management are aware of this, yet do nothing to help.

My mam was in St Mary’s for 7 years and was moved from another care home that had delivered unsatisfactory care. The appearance of the rooms was not and still isn’t brilliant but it soon became apparent that money was spent on care and not appearances. The care she received was second to none. The staff
were brilliant from day 1 and it now became a pleasure to visit her instead of the nightmare I experienced previously. My mam was always spotlessly clean and dry. The food was proper home-cooked food and plentiful. The staff encouraged residents to eat and noted what food they enjoyed and put special requests in to the kitchen. Anything I asked for my mum was relayed to all staff in daily handovers and I was constantly informed of any worries they had about Her. The staff really came into their own though during lockdown when we weren’t allowed to visit her for over a year, they became her second family, giving hugs, reassurance, and the continuing care she had always received.

Previous response between staff and family was poor in previous years. It's a lot better now - 2020 onwards. It's been a tough few months with covid-19 but I think St Mary's has coped well with it. A big shout to all the staff.

Wow! What an amazing group of carers and staff. Mum is safe, happy and extremely well looked after. I can honestly say I have gone back to being a daughter and left the caring role to the experts. Thank you.
Never have we needed your kindness, resilience and cheerfulness more now than ever during

You have given the family peace of mind and are always there to listen to us as well.
God Bless you all.

As a new resident, we have been allowed to visit due to end of life care being given. Management has been accommodating to our and residents needs. Although room clean, walking through the building needs attention, ie, bins overflowing, stairs quite dirty. Kitchen area quite dirty with broken cupboards.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.156)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.156) out of 10 for St Mary's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.345 for St Mary's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.345
  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 4.811 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's Nursing Home is based on 12 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.811
  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.
