The care is excellent that mum is receiving. Mum isnt the easiest to please. But they seem to be doing what they can. They are always pleasant and polite and are knowledgeable. The care home itself is very clean.

I am a retired local businessman, 82 years old. Over the last year I have been visiting my former solicitor who is a long-term resident in St Stephen's, Elworth, Sandbach, Cheshire. At all times I have found the premises clean, both inside and out. The staff have been courteous at all times and always acknowledged me with a kind word and smile. To my mind it is a nice environment for your patients to live in. Staff are always busy and very caring, nothing is too much trouble and any request I have made is carried out with a smile.
Your comments will be shared with the team, who will be pleased to know their efforts are appreciated. Thank you for your continued visits and support.
St Stephen's Care Home took care of my nana beautifully. Every single member of staff was amazing - the level of care was outstanding and my family is so thankful. During such a hard time everyone was extremely compassionate and I couldn't recommend here more.

Everyone involved in my mum's care was very kind and caring and all the staff went over and above their duty. My sisters and I were overwhelmed with the kindness shown to us all and the care given to our mum.

My Mother has been at St Stephen's for almost a year now and I feel confident she is being looked after very well. All staff (management, nurses, health care assistants, cleaners, and maintenance) are very friendly and caring to my Mother and do a fantastic job. Thank you!

Since she has been there, she has put on weight and can now walk again due to the skills of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is pleasant and caring. Can't praise them enough.
Thank you for the kind review! We will share this with our care team at the home!

Hi, and thanks for the wonderful feedback! We are so grateful for the positive feedback, and I will ensure that this is passed on to the team at the home.
I cannot praise the staff at St Stephen's enough. My brother was in there for over two years. He suffered from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. He couldn't do a thing for himself. The staff were so lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. The day he passed was made a beautiful and pain-free...
This home deserves more than the stars I can give beautiful, caring people.

The staff who look after Mum are wonderful, kind and caring. I sometimes think there is not enough staff on for the number of residents. I have mentioned several times about the home looking tired and in desperate need of updating. The residents' rooms need decorating and updating badly! The kitchen for the staff and residents' relatives is falling to pieces, a new kitchen is needed desperately!
Thank you for the kind response. We are working on the environment and will make continual upgrades to the services. You will continue to see improvements over the coming months.

It is difficult to review as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. Mum has been kept safe, well and clean. We have regularly window visited and the staff have been very helpful and supportive. I have always known Mum would receive the care she required throughout these very difficult times. This is due to all the staff at St Stephen's Care Home. Thank you.
The service provided during Covid has been excellent, particularly the performance of the staff. Staff are always on hand to answer questions which is reassuring. Overall, we are extremely happy with the care my mum is receiving.

The Staff have been extremely helpful in very trying circumstances, my mum has settled brilliantly the staff can't do enough for her. The food and environment are lovely she's back to her outgoing self. Although we know mum will never be what she was before the dementia set in it's so lovely to see her smile when on a WhatsApp call with the carers. Thank you all so much for your care and proactiveness with her care. My sisters and I have been really happy. We would definitely recommend you.
The atmosphere was bright and friendly. The staff were very competent, compassionate and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. Dad could not have had better care anywhere, for which we are truly grateful.

My father has been a resident in St. Stephen's Care Home since November 2018. When my mother and I first visited the home prior to my father being admitted, we immediately felt reassured that it would be the right place for him. The atmosphere was just right, and the deputy manager made time to talk to us and show us around. The nursing staff and carers are second to none in the level of care they provide and they have always been most professional and caring. My father's room is decorated and appointed to a high specification and is pleasant and homely. All staff are welcoming and friendly and we are reassured that my father is being so well looked after.

My mum arrived at the home in July 2018 straight from hospital. The staff talked through everything with us and explained everything that happens within the home. At every visit, the staff are always welcoming and you always feel you can ask them anything. My mum has Alzheimer's so cannot communicate well but she always seems content and settled, well fed, clean and looked after. Can't fault the home at all and would highly recommend to other families.
