Review from Elaine A (Friend of Resident) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our friend went into St.Lukes after being in hospital for six weeks. Our first visit we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The Manager had sent him a lovely welcome card and in his room was a hamper of goodies. Our visit tonight was again an excellent experience he was in the Dining room feeding himself and sat with other residents. He was dressed smartly and the staff have managed to keep him looking smart, clean and shaven.
The decor of the home is bright and cheerful as are all the staff, taking time to chat to us and the residents.

His health has considerably improved since being discharged from hospital.

Overall Experience
My mum has been in St Luke's since March this year. We couldn't ask for better care she getting. All staff are so lovely and I know I can go home and I know she is being looked after. The manager has changed this home around.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This is a bit of a hard review to write as it was during the pandemic and we never actually got to see inside St Luke's while my dad was a resident. I will though, give my honest opinion of what dealings we had with everyone. My dad was admitted in June 2020, and from the minute I spoke to staff on the phone, I was really pleased and could tell how efficiently it was being run. I was given full information of how things worked in there and what Dad's room would be like, what unit he would be on and most of all, what care he would receive. Although we only got to see him all be it socially distanced in the garden, we could see Dad was really happy there and the care and attention the staff gave him were excellent. This made my mum feel happy. Sadly dad passed away in November 2020. Thank you to all the staff, you made my dad's final months happy ones when we were unable to be with him. I would definitely recommend St Luke's.

Overall Experience
My dad was in St Luke's for 3-years, and the care he received was fantastic. The staff are very good and caring; in the end, they were there for my dad, my sister and my self - I can not thank them enough.
