After 18 months of refurbishment and loving design, St Brelade's doors are now open for those who would like to call it home.

At St Brelades, care is not just a service - it is a way of life. The team is setting a new benchmark in personalised care, where every resident is truly seen, heard and valued. The staff don't just care for residents, but nurture lives filled with meaning, comfort and connection.
Exceptional care begins with exceptional people. The carefully chosen team embodies empathy, warmth, and compassion.
At St Brelades, personalised care means understanding the unique needs, preferences and life stories of every resident. Support is tailored to the individual, creating daily experiences that are rich, purposeful and truly fulfilling.
Nutritious home cooked meals are at the heart of the homes approach to wellbeing. Sharing lovingly prepared food is about more than nutrition. It's about comfort, joy, and the simple pleasure of good company around the table.
It is vital for families to feel confident and reassured. St Brelades works closely with family and friends to make sure that every resident is not only safe and supported, but living a life filled with dignity, laughter and joy.

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.

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.

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.

I am overwhelmed by the amount of care my uncle has received in just a short time being here. All the staff are amazing, they genuinely go out of their way to make sure that you are happy and that your needs are met.
The standards of care is very high and all the staff in the care home treat everyone with respect, compassion and the quality of standards since throughout the home. I can't recommend this home enough and I believe its down to all the people (team) who make it work. It has 5 stars from me.

My uncle is a new resident of St Brelades. I have been acting on his behalf and from the very first visit I have been impressed with the care home and its facilities but even more so by every member of the management and caring staff. From the morning he moved in and in every visit since I have seen such a change in my Uncle. I haven't heard him laugh for quite some time and now he is laughing and smiling each time I visit. St Brelades is so welcoming and friendly. I look forward to my visits and to see how my uncle interacts with his carers. As the care home is newly opened the only matter I cannot comment comprehensively on at this stage is activities but I have no reason to doubt they will prove to be great for the residents. On the administrative side all my dealings have been dealt with so efficiently.
I would have no hesitation in recommending St Brelades.

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.

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
