Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Extremely concerning experience with this nursing home.


My grandfather was admitted for nursing care following clear assurances that he would receive appropriate support and supervision. In our experience, these assurances were not met. We observed him left in the same clothing for extended periods,

with poor hygiene and a lack of basic dignity. Despite not having dementia, he was placed on a dementia ward, which we considered inappropriate for his needs.


We were told he would be assisted out of bed and reviewed by a doctor; however, we saw no evidence that a medical review took place, and no clear records were provided to confirm this when we asked. Staffing levels appeared insufficient to meet even basic care needs, and due to repeated concerns raised by my grandfather, our family felt it necessary to visit multiple times each day.


On the morning of his death, we were informed by a nurse that he had been repeatedly pressing his alarm, that his door was closed, and that he had been

Reply from Jay Dutson, Head of Operations at St Mary's Nursing HomeWe are deeply sorry for the loss of your grandfather and understand how difficult this time has been for your family.

We take all feedback seriously and have thoroughly reviewed the concerns raised. Our records confirm that he received regular personal care throughout his stay, documented twice daily, often more. He was admitted to the general nursing side of our St Alexius Unit - not a dementia ward - and this was discussed with your family prior to admission with the Home Manager.

Medical oversight included a GP ward round, multiple nursing reviews, and ongoing monitoring, with clinical changes identified and acted upon throughout his stay.

Staffing on the unit included a registered nurse present at all times alongside care staff, and over 700 care entries were recorded across his 30-day stay, reflecting consistent and attentive care.

We are confident that he was treated with dignity and compassion, and that the care provided met his needs throughout his time with us.

My mum entered St Marys at the beginning of October 2025 and passed away in the home at the end of January 2026. I don't think 5 stars are enough to reflect the care/support/attitude and love provided to both my mum (and us as a family). My mum had Dementia yet that didn't change the way she was treated.
All the staff treated her with respect and gave her the dignity she deserved at the end of her life. All the staff always had a smile (and were prepared to give you theirs if you didn't have one). Mark and the management team couldn't do enough (and we really do appreciate that). I can't recommend St Mary's enough. For peace of mind knowing a loved one is cared for, respected and looked after, whilst immediate family aren't there is an absolute must - and St Mary's delivers on that. No words can express our gratitude. Thank you xx
Reply from Mark, Manager at St Mary's Nursing HomeThank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words.

We feel truly privileged to have cared for your mum and to have supported you and your family during such an important and emotional time. It means a great deal to us to know that she was treated with the dignity, respect and compassion she deserved, and that you felt supported throughout her journey with us.

Your appreciation of our team and management is sincerely valued - we will ensure your lovely comments are shared with everyone. Supporting families as well as residents is at the heart of what we do at St. Mary's.

Thank you again for your trust in us and for taking the time to leave such a meaningful review. You and your family remain in our thoughts.

My mum moved into Saint Mary's mid December. On to the nursing dementia department.
I was really worried about it. But from the start the staff have been amazing. The manager Mark even helped me carry my mum's things in upon arrival.
The staff have been helpful nothing is to much trouble.
All
the staff have really gotten to know my mum.
After a week my mum had her hair done by the home. The staff painted her nails. The staff on the unit keep my mum entertained with card games and other things.
The building is a bit dated, but I've looked past that as it's not about the building it's about what my mum needs and the staff.
They are able to keep her safe and give her what she needs.
Reply from Mark, Manager at St Mary's Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a kind and thoughtful review which we will pass onto the team. We are happy that you entrusted us with the care of your Mum's and understand this can be an anxious time - we are so pleased that Mum has settled with us at St. Mary's.
Your words mean a great deal to our whole team, who are deeply committed to providing care with compassion, dignity and respect.

I straight away called for a ambulance packed his stuff ambulance came took my dad to hospital.
The following day I rang the manager he shown no sorrow for what had happened if I David didn't intervention my father would of been left to die
Reply from Jay Dutson, Operations Manager at St Mary's Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry that this was a difficult and upsetting time, and we understand how distressing it is when a loved one becomes unwell.

We would like to clarify a few points to ensure the information shared is accurate. Your father was admitted on 22/10/2025 as a permanent placement, arranged by Manchester City Council following several hospital admissions. Due to his comorbidities, he was mainly nursed in bed in line with professional assessments/care planning.

Staff completed regular checks and personal care throughout the day and night, which is well documented. There were occasions when your father initially declined care, which was respected, but this was later accepted. We also supported your wish to assist with his personal care.

On the day he went to hospital, the Nurse agreed that this was the best result and was part of her assessment.

We attempted to reach out without success to discuss further.

We want to say a huge thank you to the team at St Mary's. My mother in law was only at St Mary's a short while but the staff ensured her final weeks and days were met with respect, kindness and dignity. The team always made us feel welcome, greeting us with a smile and chit chat. St Mary's has a great
community feel, with residents and staff observed engaging with each other, and whilst my mother in law wasn't able to engage in activities as such, there was always something going on and they did their best to include her. The attention to my mother in law's personal care, was outstanding with her always looking well presented in a lovely clean bed. My mother in law was on a 1-1 and it was lovely to see how attentive staff were to meet her needs, creatively communicating with her with a real sense that her support needs were understood. My mother in law's last days were well cared for with family included and wishes respected every step of the way. A highly recommended nursing home.
Reply from Mark, Home Manager at St Mary's Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a kind and thoughtful review. We are truly honoured that you entrusted us with the care of your mother-in-law during such an important time. Your words mean a great deal to our whole team, who are deeply committed to providing care with compassion, dignity and respect.

We are pleased to hear that you felt welcomed and supported, and that our community atmosphere and attentive, person-centred care gave you reassurance. Ensuring comfort, dignity and inclusion, particularly in someone's final days, is something we take very seriously, and your feedback reflects the dedication of our staff.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for allowing us to be part of your family's journey.

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.
Reply from Mark, Manager at St Mary's Nursing HomeThank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly value the input of our residents and their families, as it helps us to continuously improve our services.

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.

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.151) out of 10 for St Mary's Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.299 for St Mary's Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (22 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.299
  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 4.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's Nursing Home is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.8 = 0.952
  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.
