Staff friendly (very). Looked after the residents excellently. Welcomed me when I visited. Did everything possible to make the resident's life better. Can't fault them.

Caregivers and managers are fantastic. Always there to help. Nothing is a problem. Fantastic activities. Lovely homemade food, absolutely no complaints from Dad loving it. We, as a family, have always felt Dad was safe and well looked after.

Review from Veronica N (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Since my mam came to St Marks in October, there has been more care than we hope for. It's like she has been here forever. It was very hard having to put Mam into care but found out it has been the best we have done for her. The care, love and loyalty shown by all the staff are second to none. This has helped her settle in so well. Thanks for all that you do.

Overall Experience

I went for a chat with the manager about my mum's care, and it was dealt with asap. My mum got moved, and after three days, I've seen a change in my mum. She is much happier, and the carers have looked after Mum greatly. I am so happy, and Mum is happy thanks to the manager.

Visited today after a very anxious week since moving my aunt into St Marks, and I feel 100-times better seeing how lovely the staff are with the residents and how settled my auntie is compared to last week! Thank you so much. I think the whole family will sleep a lot better now knowing he is safe and cared for.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the care package at St Marks. I marked security down because my wife wedding and engagement ring have gone missing. The one to one team who organise visiting, could not be praised enough for their help and kindness.

My mam is there and I wouldn't trust anyone else with mam.

The carer is so lovely with her treats her like her own mam. Because of Covid-19 they pass on loving messages. The manager is lovely all staff are kind I would give 10 out of 10

Review from Lesley H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff at St Marks are absolute angels. Our mam passed away on the 4th May after a short illness and my sister and myself stayed at the home for 8 days and never left her side. The staff not only lovingly cared for our mam but us too. Even after she passed they knocked on the door before entering, so respectful. It's a big decision placing a relative in care but I wouldn't hesitate in recommending St Marks Court.
