St Raphael’s – which is affectionately known as St R’s - is Viewpoint’s largest home and it’s a busy, friendly community with lots going on. Relatives are constantly dropping by, entertainers put on shows and activity co-ordinators and care assistants join in the fun, helping residents to enjoy the events and experience joy in later years.

Bus trips take place regularly throughout the week and whisk residents away to the coast...

Review from Susan S (Friend of Resident) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

St Raphael's is a very special and unique care home. All staff provide exceptional quality of care, respect and dignity and are willing to go above and beyond their responsibilities. Particular attention is given to each resident's needs and interests to make them feel happy and safe "at home" - this is clearly evident and of paramount importance to give relatives and others peace of mind. Room sizes vary but are fitted with quality furnishings and some of the resident's personal possessions. The gardens are easily accessible with continual improvements. Menus/drink choices vary and cater for all diets, the standard of cleanliness is first class, and the vast range of weekly activities ensures residents enjoy a very high quality of life, despite their circumstances. Relatives, friends and the community are encouraged to visit and participate in St Raphael's life. I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending this care home to anyone, as I would live there!

Reply from Lynne Feeney, Business Support Administrator at St Raphael's

Thank you for such a great review. The highest of praise is when someone says they would stay in St Raphael's themselves! It is so good to receive this feedback, and I know the staff will be delighted to hear this - we strive to provide the best service we can, and it's really good to have our efforts recognised.
