Father residing in home. I find all staff and facilities fantastic for his requirements. He also can't praise them enough as they communicate with him on the greatest levels. Food and accommodation is always praised by my father and access to visit is always welcomed. Would recommend this facility for anyone else who might be looking.

I have nothing but praise for the staff of St Andrews, always busy but with smiles on their faces . When I visit and it makes no difference who answers the door you are always made welcome. The care of the patients is paramount and this team work together and take great care of the patients. None of us want to see our relatives ill but I take great comfort knowing my sister is receiving the best of care from this team.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that you feel welcomed and reassured when visiting, and that your sister is receiving the care she deserves. I'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the team - it means a lot to them!
My mother always seems happy and content when I visit. She is encouraged to be as active as she enjoys being. She is always looking clean and well cared for.
She had a problem a year ago with losing weight the home has actively worked to address this and she is now a healthy BMI.
Staff friendly and approachable.
Staff show patience and understanding of the needs of the residents.
Thank you for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear your mother is happy, well cared for, and staying healthy. We're glad the staff's patience and support give you peace of mind - I'll be sure to share your feedback with the team!
My wife receives excellent care from all the staff at St Andrews Nursing Home - above and beyond what we could expect. The staff are always courteous and caring and treat all the residents with dignity and respect. I would highly recommend St Andrews Nursing Home to everyone and anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! We're delighted to hear your wife is receiving excellent care and that our team's compassion and respect make a difference. I'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the staff!
Both my parents are in St Andrew's. Overall the care is good and the staff are kind to my parents. I think perhaps at times they are understaffed - takes a while for a bell to be answered. My main criticism would be the food. Whilst I understand the mass catering difficulties it's hard to hear my dad say his food is cold when it reaches him. It's also strange that a curry is on the menu for residents which is to me a strange meal to offer elderly people! I'd like my parents to have more fruit which helps their nutrition. I'm grateful for the kind members of staff who look after my parents but with a few changes it could make the whole experience better. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear your parents are receiving kind and caring support - that means a lot to us. We appreciate your honesty about the food and staffing concerns, and we'll make sure this is passed on to the team to look into improvements. Your thoughts on nutrition and...
Meals look lovely from what I have seen. Love that they make cakes for their birthdays.
The place is always nicely decorated for the different celebrations throughout the year e.g. Halloween.
Really love the lavender room, it gives you more privacy to chat without having to go into the bedroom.
Overall a nice atmosphere when you go in.
The only negative I have is that the building inside and out looks tired and could do with a bit of tender loving care. But this doesn't affect by any means the excellent care that is given.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you find our staff helpful, friendly, and always with a smile. It's also great to know that you enjoy the meals, birthday cakes, and decorations we put up for various celebrations throughout the year, like Halloween. We're...
