The care she received was always appropriate to her needs and changed as she became more frail. As visitors we were always treated pleasantly and we were always made aware of any changes to my sisters condition or care. I told the manager of the home that I never had any concerns about my sister as she was so well looked after. I can thoroughly recommend this home
Such a lovely lady, missed by one and all here! Thankyou for your words, I know the team here will appreciate the kind feedback. Drop in for a catch up when you are in the area
Very good as usual. My dad has been at St. Marys Residential Care Home for six years now, and still think this is the place to be. I am not a person who is full of words, so I find it difficult to fill in this feedback.

St Mary's has cared for Mum for 4 years and she is so happy there. Mum can be anxious but the care she is given and the love the carers share mean that she is super happy and we are very pleased with her care.

I'm glad you are happy with us at St Mary's, thank you for the kind words, I shall share them with the team.
My mum has lived at St Mary's for the last eight years and I can honestly say we are so happy with the care and attention she received. The staff are excellent, truly caring and always thinking about Mum's health and wellbeing.

Thank you for the feedback, resident health and well-being is at the center of focus. Your mum is a very popular lady within the home.

My mother has been a resident of St Mary's since December 2023 and we have been extremely happy with our choice. There is a lovely atmosphere in the home and all staff members are very kind, caring and professional. They get to know the person and know their likes and dislikes which makes it feel more family than care. I have seen many situations diffused with kindness, compassion, distraction or even a lighthearted joke. The building and the residents are kept immaculately clean (no funny smells anywhere). The food is tasty and there is a good variety to choose from.
Your mum has certainly added to the fun at St Mary's, she's an absolute pleasure to have around. Thank you for your kind feedback, I shall share with the team
All staff I observe are attentive with needs of residents. Also extremely patient where my Aunt is concerned due to some unrealistic demands. Great to see my Aunt in her wheelchair outside in Worthing Town Centre last week.

Thank you for you feedback, our activities continue to build, and with the lovely weather, there are more chances to get out and about and make the most of our lovely town.
I am not a resident so can only review as a visitor. St Mary's is a very nice, well-managed home.

Have been to St Mary's to visit my mother-in-law. The staff were lovely, very helpful and caring. The home is very clean and mother-in-law's room very cosy. This home is much better than we could have wishes for.

That's lovely to hear, we are certainly enjoying her company!
Highly recommend St Mary's Residential Care Home. Staff can't do enough. Staff are very respectful and listen. Staff very cheerful and cheer me up and we have a laugh. Everyone from manager to laundry staff helped my stay here. I would come again.

You were a laugh a minute to have here, glad you enjoyed your stay.
My husband is well cared for. The staff are friendly and caring. I am pleased he is being cared for in a happy place.

My brother has been at St Mary's since February 2023. He is difficult to deal with as, apart from his mobility problems, he refuses to go out or join in with anything. However, the staff seem to have got used to him and treat him well and he is happy. I have marked activities as such because my brother won't take part and I have marked value for money accordingly as his placement is paid for by the council.
Thank you for your kind words, we will continue to offer the inclusion to activities etc. and support with all needs as appropriate.

On the negative side - the staff numbers mean that those in post appear to be overworked and are consequently not able to spend much time with residents, particularly if they want to go outside into the gardens (as most need to be accompanied).
Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives by a considerable margin.
Thank you for the feedback; we now have a new activities coordinator in post, and I am confident she will make a big difference in the day-to-day lives of our residents.

I visit a friend at St Mary's fortnightly, phoning her weekly. The staff are always helpful and welcoming and are looking after my friend kindly and attentively. My friend is very articulate, and the staff have enjoyed engaging with her. The home is always clean, tidy and welcoming.
