Everything about St Brelades is perfect. I couldn't ask for a better place for my Grandmother to spend her final days, it really is fit for a queen. It's a perfect example of how a care home should be, and reminds people like me that Great Care Homes do still exist! All this is testament to incredible team at St Brelades, who always greet me warmly and greet me well

I cannot speak highly enough of St Brelades Care Home. The care and support provided to my father have been exceptional. The carers are compassionate, attentive, and always treat residents with dignity and respect.
The home itself is clean, welcoming, and has a friendly atmosphere. All staff members are approachable, professional, and make visitors feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
The manager is excellent-always approachable, willing to listen, and committed to ensuring residents receive the highest standard of care.
Overall, St Brelades is an outstanding care home, and I am extremely grateful for the kindness, dedication, and support shown to my father and our family.
I would highly recommend St Brelades Care Home to anyone looking for excellent care for a loved one.
Kindest regards

My brother has recently had two weeks of respite care at St Brelades and I cannot commend the care highly enough. From the moment my brother arrived he was treated with dignity, wonderful care and respect. Everything about St Brelades is first class. I could relax in the knowledge that my brother was in safe hands and receiving first-class care.
Kindest regards
Eileen
We cannot thank the staff enough for the exceptional care and kindness they showed to my Grandpa during his time at St Brelades. Every single member of the team went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and treated with dignity at all times. The level of compassion, patience, and genuine warmth shown to both him and our family meant so much to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such safe and caring hands. The home itself is welcoming, clean, and full of lovely staff who truly care about the residents and always go above and beyond. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything they did.
Kindest regards
Eileen
It's more like their own home than a care home.
Just wish that all other places were as dignified as this.

Eileen
I was very impressed by St Brelades Care home. The lounge and dining room are bright and welcoming and is beautifully decorated. My father's room was a generous size and had it's own ensuite. I can't fault the staff at the home, they did everything in their power to ensure my father had wonderful care and nursing. They contacted me regularly if they had any concerns and when visiting I was always welcomed. I can't thank the staff enough for all their support over the last 6/7 weeks.
Kindest regards
My mum is so happy there and the activities are brilliant from music to arts and crafts, my mum is loving the company and the atmosphere.
It's the best choice we ever made.
Her room is warm and comfy, the food is top class, (having the privilege of dining there ourselves on Christmas day, as we always have had food with my mum Christmas day).
The staff are hardworking and Eileen, the hands on care home manager is a gem. A positive attitude every time you see her, and the rest of the staff are always pleasant and smiling
Kindest regards
Eileen and all the team
St Brelades has made a very difficult decision ,the hardest of our lives actually turn out to be the biggest blessing ! My grandmother has flourished , she's glowing again! Knowing she has someone there with her all the time means the world and seeing her smiling again is the best . They're always doing activities and having visitors in to entertain the residents making sure they're never bored! The food is fantastic and there's constant snacks on hand. The staff are more fantastic then I could wish for and you can see the genuine love and care they have for their residents. Eileen is just fantastic and I've never met a more passionate manager .. she truly makes sure the home feels like THEIR home and I know I can check in any time. It's a beautiful home , the rooms are perfect and spotless. Very very happy granddaughter with a very content gran xx

St Brelades Care home is providing exceptional care for my brother of exceptional high quality. The layout and fabric of the nursing home provides an extremely comfortable environment. Access throughout the care home is so easy and convenient and safe. The standards of care set by the management is exceptional. Staff and carers continually show respect, compassion, love and understanding of residents' needs. The ambience is superb and makes everyone comfortable, relaxed and happy. My brothers wellbeing is testament to this.
Kindest regards

My father has been in here for nearly a month, he has settled in really well he is well looked after which has pleased us. He is always happy which makes us happy. It's always a pleasure to visit him to see how happy he is when we visit. His room is great and always spotless, we are so pleased he has settled in well.
Kindest regards

My Dad required nursing care following a fall and a spell in Hospital. He has been living at St Brelades since 16th December 2025. I was very apprehensive after caring for him myself for 8 years. This home is exceptionally well presented internally and extremely. My Dad has a beautiful room with ensuite facilities. The home is always spotlessly clean. The staff are absolutely wonderful, you can see how much they care about residents, they treat them like family. They have literally nursed my Dad back to health, not once but twice. I have totally confidence in Eileen and the wonderful team at St Brelades
Kindest regards
Eileen
My grandfather moved into this care home recently, and the transition into residential care was understandably a big change for both him and our family. Overall, the staff have been welcoming and have worked to help him settle into a new routine, which we appreciate.
The carers are always friendly and welcoming and always check in to see how things are, and generally almost always get some feedback on how my grandfather has been through the day which is always nice to hear.Adjusting to care home life takes time, but I have seen efforts made to support my grandfather and his needs and also efforts made to some requests from myself to which I feel will help support him.
Kindest regards
Eileen
My husband went in for 2 weeks respite I was very worried but he settled in very quickly and all the staff were very professional and polite treating everyone with respect. Visitors were made to feel very welcome. I would recommend the care home to anyone I would definitely use it again.
Kindest regards
Eileen and all the team
My dad has been here for a month and he's settled in very well. The home is clean, modern and welcoming and dad has a lovely room with his own private wet room. The staff have been welcoming from the moment we first visited for a viewing, and I am very pleased with care and attention dad receives, although he is blind they still encourage him to come out of his room to take part in activities and if he or myself brings something to their attention they respond quickly. The staff overall are friendly and helpful and I have peace of mind that dad is well taken care of 24/7.
Kindest regards
Eileen and all the team
I was apprehensive about going into a care home, but once I was there and settled into my room, I soon adjusted and found my own spaces. I have made some new friends, and the staff have been welcoming and are all approachable. The property is still being renovated but despite this things are all running smoothly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review on our and your home. We are so delighted you chose to come and live with us at St Brelades.
I came to St Brelades Care two days after having a replacement hip operation to build up my strength. The staff were warm and welcoming and throughout my stay, unfailingly thoughtful and kind. My room was light and airy. The bed was comfortable, there was adequate space to store my clothes and a wall mounted TV wtih a choice of multiple channels. I had a roomy ensuite with shower, toilet and wash basin. I opted for breakfast in bed, then I joined the other residents in the lounge and chatted, read or watched television. At lunchtime we relocated to the nicely appointed dining room. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. Generally we had a light lunch and our main meal in the evening. Throughout the day tea, coffee and refreshments were available within a few days I progressed from a wheelchair and crutches to being able to walk unaided largely due to the care and encouragement I received.
Kindest regards
Eileen and all the care team
Our family will always be deeply grateful for the care our granddad received during his short time at St Brelades Care. Although he was only there for a brief period before he passed away, the kindness, dignity, and compassion shown to him made an enormous difference in his final days.
The staff treated him with genuine warmth and respect, taking the time to ensure he was comfortable, calm, and cared for as an individual, not just a patient. Their attentiveness and gentle approach greatly improved his wellbeing and brought him peace at a time when it mattered most.
They also supported us as a family with understanding and reassurance, which meant more than words can express. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us comfort during an incredibly difficult time.
Thank you to everyone at St Brelades Care for the exceptional care you provided. It truly meant the world to us and helped make his last days as dignified and comfortable as possible.
Kindest regards
Eileen
The staff, the home, my dads room, food all a million per cent. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone. My mum visits every day and the staff include her in everything which as a family is relief. My dad has cancer & dementia and the staff are always so patient and understanding. Wouldn't be without any of them. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review it really means so much to all the team. We are delighted that you have chosen us to care for Dad and look forward to yours and mums visits every day
I feel my dad is happy here, which is the main thing, he seems like he has a good rapport with the staff.
Kindest regards
Eileen

Meet the Team (5)

She has worked as a home manager for many years before moving into governance and as a Regional Director with many years experience commissioning new builds in the West London Area.
Eileen has a passion for person-centred care and ensuring that the team spend time getting to know the person that needs our support, meeting their outcomes and helping to fulfil any dreams and wishes we are never too old for a bucket list. Some of her proudest moments are Sky Diving with a 90 year old to raise money for Marie Curie and accompanying a resident to Rome to have a blessing from the late Pope Francis.
One of Eileen's dreams is to commission a care home, so when the opportunity to take the role at St Brelades she jumped at the chance.

Lombe is a Registered General Nurse who has worked in elderly care for over 20 years.
She is originally from Zambia in Central Africa. Lombe relocated to Swansea, Wales, in 2005 to practice as a Registered nurse.Lombe has worked both as Clinical Lead and Home Manager in her career in the care home sector.
Lombe is a dedicated nurse with a great passion for person-centred holistic care; she has demonstrated this passion throughout her years of nursing. She is delighted to join and help lead a team that shares her values and to ensure St Brelades is that home where residents can make their dreams happen and live their best lives.

Rose is originally from Dublin, Ireland; she has been living in the UK for over 30 years. Rose has more than 30 years of experience in hospitality and cooking, and she considers herself very lucky to have spent most of her life doing what she loves - working with food and making people feel cared for through good, homemade, nutritious cooking.
To be the Head Cook at St Brelades is incredibly special to Rose; it’s not just about preparing meals, it’s about bringing comfort, sparking memories, and creating moments of joy for the residents. Her focus is to cook nutritious, well-balanced meals to help keep everyone healthy and also give them the occasional treat (because a little indulgence now and then is just as important).
Rose enjoys getting to know the residents and finding out their favourite dishes; for her, it’s a real privilege to be part of their daily lives. She takes great satisfaction in knowing that families can feel reassured that their loved ones are being well looked after and enjoying mealtimes.
For Rose, food is a way of showing care and connection. "There’s nothing better than seeing someone smile over a meal you’ve made. Helping to make mealtimes something they truly look forward to is one of the best parts of my day."

Kirsty became the Head Housekeeper at St Brelades because what is important to her is knowing that what she does each day makes a real difference to people’s lives. For Kirsty, it’s not just about keeping things clean; it’s about creating a homely, welcoming space where the residents feel comfortable and cared for.
At St Brelade’s, we take pride in upholding the highest standards, making sure every room and shared space is somewhere the residents, staff and visitors truly feel at home. It means a lot to know that the little details our team looks after help to bring comfort and peace of mind, not just to those who live here, but also to relatives to know that their loved ones really are in the best place.
Kirsty has spent many years as part of housekeeping teams working in industry, catering and schools. She is fully trained in the standards needed in a care home, including the importance of infection control.
In her spare time, she loves nothing more than running, exercising and exploring South Wales with her very cute dog Norman.

Karen has 22 years of experience working as an administrator in a care home. Her welcoming personality is what makes her a very special person and perfect in that front-of-house role at St Brelades. She loves welcoming new residents and their families to their new home.
In her past role, she was part of ensuring that residents could live their best lives, driving the mini bus to enable that vital part of ensuring that residents keep in touch with the wider community. She is very proud of supporting one resident who was bed-bound to be able to visit the Gnoll Park to meet her son for a picnic, making her and his dreams come true.
Karen is really proud of having joined a local running club, never having run before, to complete the Cardiff Half Marathon.
She has lived in Cimla for all her life and is thrilled to join the team at St Brelades
