We as a family think St Mary's is a lovely caring home. My wife has not been in St Marys long only since December. But she has settled in very nice, at first she was a little unsure and had no confidence but soon became part of the family and is being cared for very well and most importantly she is safe. And the staff are excellent.
Thank you so much for this review. This helps other families feel secure when choosing the right care home for their loved ones, we are so happy to provide such a service where people feel safe, valued and part of the family. This is good to hear and we will share with the team!

My mum was placed at St Mary's after her needs had changed from a bleed on her brain, the unit, staff and facilities are amazing compared to the previous home she was in earlier in the year. Communication from all staff is 100% and nothing is too much trouble. The unit is always spotless and doesn't have a dank odor like previous home. Mum always looks clean, tidy and dressed properly. Visitors are always treated with a warm welcome. Very happy with everything at St Mary's and it is a nice feeling to know mum is safe, and cared for as we would like. Alex is amazing!!

Unbeknown to us my soon to be daughter in law approached St Mary's to ask if it was possible to include my husband in her upcoming wedding to my son. As my husband has complex needs he would be unable to leave their care. St Mary's wholeheartedly agreed and they arranged together a blessing which we were made aware of nearer the time. I was so surprised on the day to enter the garden to be met by very happy smiling staff with a decorated gazebo and soft music playing, my husband looking very smart dressed for the occasion. On arrival of the bride and groom a ring blessing took place which fully included my husband followed by a toast to the happy couple with platters of food to enjoy. I want to thank St Mary's from the bottom of my heart to have gone out of their way to make this happen, so my husband and I could celebrate together part of this very special day, the marriage of our son to his thoughtful kind hearted bride. Once again thank you I shall never forget all your kindness.
What a wonderful event this was and very heartwarming. A lovely way to involve everyone. This really did bring a tear to everyone's eye and we were privileged to be able to help this go ahead.

Rose unit. Since mum has been here ( 2 years now) the care has been nothing but exemplary. The elite care here is miles apart from others. My relative says she always feels safe and cared for. I can assure anyone considering here would be absolutely overwhelmed by the genuine compassion and care given. There is lots to do, team always work hard for the residents and go above and beyond from nurses, carers to cleaners. Beautiful well maintained home also, 5 star.
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me and all the staff on the unit. I will share you lovely feedback with them all. I'm pleased your Mum is getting the best care.

My brother was placed at St Mary's 1.5 years ago, he has a severe brain injury at the age of 44. I can't compliment the team at St Mary's enough, they are so dedicated to their residents and go above and beyond for them. They are also super supportive to the families who are trying to navigate a difficult situation to support their loves ones. The manager of Stephenson ward is so fantastic, sharing a wealth of knowledge and going the extra mile for my brother everyday.

Thank you, what a fantastic review. This will be shared with the staff team, we're glad your Nan has settled in so quickly.
My nanna went into hospital on Thursday last week and while we were there a carer sat with her all day. She had a really lovely caring approach and I was really grateful to have her there. She is obviously very passionate and caring in her role and we wanted to say thank you.

My mum has just become a resident at St Mary's after 14 weeks in hospital. She is 90 with dementia so I was extremely anxious for her to go into nursing care. The staff at St Mary's have gone above and beyond to alleviate my worries as the patience, care and kindness they have shown to Mum are second to none. Mum is in the Forshaw Unit, it is spotlessly clean and always has a lovely atmosphere when I visit. I would recommend it to anyone if they are looking for the most caring place for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for your kind review - I will share this with the team.
I can't imagine my mother anywhere else. Many thanks to all staff on the Rose Unit. Go above and beyond.

From the age of 15 Deborah (Debbie) knew she wanted to be a Nurse when her own Mum became Mentally ill and required admission to a mental health hospital. Despite her age, she became very aware on visiting her Mum that the care in the hospital was not person centred or caring.Eventually as her young family grew, she stepped away from management and worked nights as a Nurse at St Marys Care Centre, later becoming the Lead Nurse. As her children became older, she applied to be the Deputy Manager and then the Manager at St Marys Care Centre. Deborah has been the Manager at St Marys Care Centre since 2014. During this time the home has recruited an Art Therapist and a Music Therapist to compliment the homes Multi-Disciplinary Team.
Outside of work, Debbie lives in Warrington, has three sons and has been married for 30 years. She loves nothing more than spending time with her family, family holidays, walking and following Manchester City football team.

Paula wanted to be a Nurse as a young girl. She regularly visited an elderly lady in Peasley Cross Hospital with her daughter, a neighbour of hers.
Paula began her training at 19 years of age in Warrington General Hospital, qualifying in 1987, working with the elderly until she went to work at St Helens Hospital, which was closer to home.
At St Helens Hospital, Paula worked days on medical, rheumatology and later the stroke rehabilitation unit.
She also worked at Whiston Hospital on ENT and general medicine.
Following this, she began a family and had 2 boys. She continued to work on night duty for a further seven years before leaving to work in the private sector.
Paula worked in Care Homes in both general and EMI as a Nurse and Deputy Manager. She relocated for 5 years with her family to Bognor Regis, where she worked as a Deputy Manager, returning to St Helens in 2015, where she joined the team at St Mary's Care Centre as Lead Nurse on Forshaw Unit. Paula enjoys her role here as Deputy Manager.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, cooking travelling and gardening.

My working...
I have now been practicing as a learning disability nurse for a number of years and my enthusiasm and passion for the job has not wavered.My working career prior to nursing spans 25 years working in a variety of roles with children of all ages and abilities. From private nurseries, mainstream schools both here in the UK and military schools overseas, to a season as a Pontins Blue Coat!
I have recently gone back to doing what I am best at which I believe is being a nurse. I recently began a lead role in a nursing home in Burtonwood, Warrington. Running a small Acquired Brain Injury unit. Lots to do but a challenge I am up to doing. My vast knowledge base and transferable skill set will stand me in good stead am sure.
Previous roles include deputy manager and the manager but not for me! At a home in Preston. A challenge as the service was in transition. Service was for some very elderly, vulnerable individuals. With complex health needs. During my time there I was instrumental in making great headway and steering the service through some difficult times, and it has now just received a Good rating from CQC. Proud to have been part of its success.
I have a keen interest in keeping up to date with relevant news and issues within learning disability nursing, primarily through social media. I am part of an award-winning team. The primary role of the site is to offer guidance and advice from various sources to both qualified and student nurses. This is achieved via blogs, podcasts and film interviews and various other modes of media.2016 - 2016
