All the nurses and carers have been very welcoming to Mum and the rest of the family. We are very pleased with the care she has received so far.
Hello, thank you for your review. I am so pleased to read that we've supported you and your Mum through the assessment and welcome processes. It can be a very daunting time. Please enjoy spending time with us at St Georges, you'll always be welcomed by this lovely team. With my best wishes to your family, cheers.
Mum has Dementia and has therefore been very confused as to where she is and why. All the staff have been so understanding, welcoming and caring.
The facilities and food are excellent. Sunday Roast looked and smelt amazing!
Hello, thank you so much for your lovely kind words. My colleagues in St Georges will be thrilled to read how we've made the experience positive for you and your Mum. I may also admit that the food in St Georges is outstanding. The chefs produce the most amazing food; I love visiting there at...
The staff are five stars, and I am so grateful to them for the care they give my dad.
Oh, how lovely to read that you've recognised the five-star quality that is our lovely team in St Georges! They are so warm and happy and relaxed, and together with the residents, the household model makes it so much more like home with the dedicated teams and open plan kitchen living and dining...
My father has been at St Geroges for two years. He is as happy there as he can be in a care environment. This is a direct result of the fantastic team, which includes clean and kitchen staff. All staff are warm and friendly. The home is warm, always clean and welcoming. I can visit anytime, and there is always a familiar face. There are often activities taking place, and entertainment in-house. I would highly recommend St Georges to anyone looking for a care home.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Our colleagues in St Georges are terrific, aren't they? The household model really makes the home feel more relaxed and comfortable. The service is beautifully delivered by everyone in the team, the activities coordinator, the foodies,...
All staff are very friendly and caring, just what we all needed.
Lovely guest room, good facilities and most importantly a very happy new resident.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I am delighted to read the team provided you with great service from the very beginning. The St Georges team is always really supportive and engaged with every resident and family. Thanks also for your positive comments regarding the home and...
The whole process of moving Dad in was easy and well facilitated by the team. The staff and facilities were superb.
Very happy in what was a rather challenging time. Thank you.
I am so glad we've been able to assist you and provide some comfort in such a confronting and difficult time. I do hope your dad and your family enjoy living with us at St Georges, my colleagues there are fantastic. With my thanks and best wishes
Excellent service throughout the process of looking for a nursing home for my wife and the need to transfer her from the care home where she has been resident for the past three years. All the staff I’ve met have been very helpful and friendly.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comments. The process of looking for the right care home is a very challenging one. We are very pleased to help everyone through the process and hopefully be the right home for them. (We'd love to look after everyone !). I am very glad we're going to be providing some caring service to you and your wife. With my best wishes.
My dad was moved to St Georges after 6 weeks in hospital having been very unwell. From the moment we first met the Resident Liaison Manager at the hospital, we were instantly put at ease about Dad's move. He was happy to answer all questions we had and offered to look around the home the same day. The home is lovely, it’s bright, roomy and full of positive and smiling staff. Dad has now been there for 5 days and we can see how well looked after he is. It’s lovely to see residents getting involved with things, especially meal times. Thank you to everyone at St Georges!
I am so glad to hear your Dad is feeling better, hospital is never a great place to be! Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it is really appreciated. The whole team in St Georges enjoys getting to know each resident and participates in welcoming everyone. The...
The facilities are spacious and comfortable with the option to enhance the room to be more like home.
Staff are friendly, helpful and courteous.
thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It is very much appreciated. We love it when families help residents to make their space their own. It's really helpful for the resident to feel at home, with some of their own belongings (and pets from time to time!). My colleagues in St Georges will be very pleased to read your positive comments. Thank you, best wishes.
I was extremely worried and anxious about moving Mum, as I knew the transition would be difficult for her. I met the resident liaison manager who talked me through everything, about Mum, about St Georges and showed me around. The following day he went to see my Mum to assess her needs and felt St Georges would be a good place for her.
I am so happy I made this choice. The transition went so smoothly, the carers were wonderful in welcoming Mum, and she is more settled than I ever imagined her to be. I love the garden, the activities they do, (the people who run the activities are wonderful! So friendly, and warm, to both Mum and me) and it's all very clean and they all have an ensuite and the room is very comfortable. So thanks St Georges, for making an anxious time, so much easier than I thought possible.
I am so sorry to read of your family's challenging experience. Reading how our clever kind team in St Georges came together to ease the transition for you all is terrific, thank you for sharing. It really does take a full team to achieve the support we aim for, it's the liaison manager, the...
The nursing and care support staff are all very friendly, polite and professional. The meals always look lovely and varied. Activities appear to accommodate the majority, and residents look like they enjoy it.
The resident coordinator has been very supportive and helpful.
Hello, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate how you've given consideration to so many elements of the team's service. For each resident to enjoy living in their new home, the whole team has to work together, which happens so well in St Georges. It's really a lovely place, isn't it? Thanks again, and my best wishes to you and your Mum.
In a challenging unplanned situation, both my parents had to go from hospital to a home ASAP. One gentleman was super responsive in our hour of need. We visited St Georges on Thursday, and he visited the hospital on Friday am and by Tuesday (only delayed by hospital discharge) both parents are in their new home. He continues to show real interest and has shared photos of them enjoying the garden today. Everyone we have met has been lovely and keen to support their considerable needs. It is early days, but a week in the team is all working hard to support from nursing to caring and daily updates on their well-being, spotlessly clean rooms and a kitchen team who care about the enjoyment of the residents. Our first impressions are very positive for an important late-life move. Thank you to all at St Georges.
Hello, thank you for your marvellous feedback. I am so delighted to read how we provided necessary and welcome support to you and your parents so effectively. The team in St Georges is marvellous (I am biased for sure!). The entire team works together for every resident and family/guest. I hope you and your parents enjoy living with us in St Georges for a very long time. With my best wishes.
Excellent - all staff brilliant, kind, caring and considerate. They are so good to me, and nothing is too much trouble. The food is amazing. 100/5 caring of all staff. Thanks so much, St Georges Nursing Home. Highly recommended by me.
How special it is to receive such glowing praise from one of our dear residents. These words mean the world to everyone on the team; thanks so much. Everyone will feel special indeed for the next few days. Thank you and best wishes.
My mum was admitted to the care home on the 10th of May as she is at end-of-life care. She was very anxious and scared about going. On arrival, all the staff made us feel very welcome and at ease. One gentleman at the care home was brilliant and calmed Mum down. All the staff are amazing and very helpful, kind and very considerate. Nothing has been too much trouble. She has been much better in herself since being there, and it is nice that, as a family, we can enjoy some family-quality time with her. Thanks to all the staff for their support in a difficult time.
Hello, thank you very much for your feedback. We are always grateful to receive input and feedback from our relatives, but most particularly, given the difficult time your family is presently in. Our household model really does enable residents and families to relax and feel genuinely at home - which is exactly what we're aiming to do! Thank you, with my best wishes to you and your family.
Dad was transferred to St George’s for a social care assessment following a hospital stay resulting in a change in his needs. He’d previously been in a residential room in a different care home. My first impressions of St George’s were very good. The building is spacious, airy and clean. I met the liaison manager on arrival, all the staff were welcoming and friendly. His room is large, well furnished, bright and airy with an en suite shower. As Dad is unable to walk he is transferred daily to the communal lounge area rather than left sitting in his room. This means he is not isolated, feels more engaged and involved in what’s going on and also means staff can keep a close eye on him as he’s at risk of falls. He is encouraged to join in with the many activities available. It is very likely Dad will stay at St George’s following the assessment as I remain very impressed with every aspect. Friendly, caring, knowledgeable staff. Good communication with me about any concerns/issues.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback; it is greatly appreciated. I am so delighted to hear that your Dad is more engaged and involved in what is going on. Our household model is designed to be much more relaxed and domestic in size so no one feels lost or overwhelmed. The...
Since then, I've witnessed how kind and caring the staff are. Mum's been given a lot of opportunities to join different leisure activities – and she really enjoys the meals. She loves all the staff.
It's also important to say how much better Mum looks now, physically. We were really struggling with her loss of mobility at home, and she has multiple health problems, all of which are now being managed professionally, kindly and with great humour.
I can't recommend St George's highly enough - in fact, I wish I worked there!
Thank you for taking the time to provide your response. I am so delighted to read your comments, particularly about feeling like family. That's our goal, that our residents and families all can relax and enjoy being well served and cared for by our colleagues who genuinely care and enjoy what they do. Your feedback will make everyone feel very rewarded, thank you. Helen
Many care homes offer good physical care and facilities; the difference at St George’s is that along with all the other excellent aspects of care, they truly understand and offer the concept of ‘kind care’. The staff from domestics to management are gentle, warm, smiley and friendly as well as professional. It is this that makes the difference between living at a care home and finding a true home. I have now found my home. Activities are excellent but not forced on one. Food is second to none.
In short, I would recommend St George’s unreservedly to anyone looking for a home with the best nursing and care.
Hello, thank you for your comments. I am so pleased to read that you are enjoying living with our wonderful St George's team. I am sure everyone will feel delighted when they read your views; thanks so very much. Best wishes.
I approached St Georges to ask about respite/convalescent care for my sister, who had had several falls in the recent past. A gentleman responded immediately, and we chatted about what might be possible. Within a few days, he had been to visit my sister at home, and once I knew she was happy with the arrangements, she was given a date (last Friday) to arrive at St Georges for her stay of three or so weeks. She was welcomed and shown to her room. Over the weekend, she got used to life at St Georges, which is very relaxed and caring. I heard that yesterday she enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast. In my contact with the same gentleman, he has been responsive, friendly and efficient in answering my questions.
Hello, thank you for providing us with your positive feedback; it is very welcome. Our processes are designed to give support from the first contact, but it is always the quality of interaction with the team members that makes it work. We are very pleased it has all worked for you and your family. Thank you very much.
This review relates to how the resident liaison manager helped and supported me in deciding on Mum's move to St Georges, the room and Mum's induction. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He anticipated the information I needed well and answered all of my questions. Anything he didn't know, he sought answers to and communicated really well throughout, in what were very challenging circumstances for me and Mum as she could not return to her previous residential care home. As I live in Scotland and Mum is in Weston, this help and support were hugely appreciated and led to a smooth move for Mum when she came out of the hospital. I can't thank him enough for all his time, help and support. Mum's arrival at St George's went smoothly. He kept an eye to ensure things went well and were happy to be a point of contact if there were any problems. The care, nursing and domestic teams also did a great job, particularly over the first few days, supporting me in sorting Mum's room and helping Mum settle in.
Hello, thank you for your review. I am delighted to read that our team provided you with the support and service standards we all expect. We acknowledge it is indeed a very difficult time for families, and so we are particularly grateful for your positive feedback. The team will be delighted to read your review. Best wishes.
Very welcoming, staffing excellent, very clean and activities are fabulous, can't think of a better home for my mum. From the first meeting to Mum moving in was excellent, everyone was very helpful, kind and caring.
Hello, thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it when our family members take the time to let us know how we're doing. Our colleagues in St Georges are really a great team. They genuinely enjoy being with the residents and families, and you can tell that it's authentic by the way the...

Meet the Team (8)

Simon brings a lifetime of experience to his role as Registered Manager of St Georges. His interest in social care started at a young age when a good friend’s sister had complex disabilities; seeing the challenges faced by the family it sparked what would become a passion to work in the sector. Starting on the YTS scheme and over 30 years later Simon has worked with learning disabilities, those living with mental health conditions and for the past few years in residential and nursing homes. Progressing quickly to a management position means Simon not only has experience in care but also in managing a number of settings.
Simon feels strongly that life doesn’t stop just because the time has come to move into long-term care, in fact, it is very much the start of a new chapter. Simon is committed to ensuring residents are valued and respected with open lines of communication with all those associated with St Georges.
As a local living nearby Simon is keen to get involved with the community around the home. Outside of work Simon enjoys eating out and walking his cockapoo, Bayley.

Having qualified as a nurse in Romania, Emily moved to England in 2012 and worked in a nursing home as a senior care assistant until receiving her PIN number. This led to Emily quickly progressing her career and gaining invaluable experience working with older people. Emily progressed to Deputy Manager further adding to her clinical knowledge and leadership skills.
As Clinical Manager at St Georges Emily is looking forwarding to working with Simon again who she had worked with at a previous home. Together they are committed to continually enhancing the lives of the residents and developing the team at St Georges.
Emily has a 5 year old son and loves spending time with family. Emily and her husband enjoy an active lifestyle which includes regularly going to the gym.

Zoe moved into the care sector after many years working as a dental nurse. Driven by a desire to spread happiness and make people smile, her role as Head of Wellness and Lead Activities Co-ordinator for Allegra Care is immensely rewarding as it gives her a unique opportunity to enrich residents’ lives.
As well as informing her working methods, Zoe’s creative and musical interests occupy much of her leisure time. She also enjoys time with her family and long walks in the countryside with their dog.

Home Administrator Claire moved into the care sector as an administrator after a career as a PA for 20 years and then a Paralegal for 12 years. The role is a very varied one that encompasses Claire's experience and knowledge to ensure the smooth running of the home. Claire also enjoys meeting the residents and their families and is here to support the transition of moving into the home.
Claire loves living close to the sea and makes the most of her time off spending time with her family and travelling.

St Georges’ first point of contact for many, Debbie is most likely the voice you will hear when you phone and the friendly face you will first see when you visit. In her role as Receptionist, Debbie enjoys getting to know all residents, and their families and visiting healthcare professionals.
All visits are booked via Debbie and she will always make sure that anything dropped in for residents is promptly and safely delivered. St Georges’s reception is a busy place but, with Debbie’s calm and proficient organisational skills, everything runs smoothly.

Starting his career in rosette restaurants and hotels across the West Country, Richard went on to become a college lecturer in cookery and catering, a position in which he worked with people with complex needs.
Building on this experience, he then ran activities provisions for two autism centres operated by the National Autistic Society, roles which involved extensive cooking and nutrition demonstrations.
Working as Chef Team Leader at St Georges, Richard devises and cooks a variety of nutritious and appetising menus to meet all residents’ dietary needs. This resident-led approach is enhanced by informal feedback and resident meetings, as well as input from staff. Flexibility and adaptability are key to ensuring the provision of alternative options for residents.
Championing fresh, local produce, Richard and his team work closely with local suppliers to source the best quality, traceable ingredients. Enabled by St Georges’ household operational model, with individual kitchens shared by small household groups, Richard also organises and delivers live cooking demonstrations.

Paul has joined Allegra Care with 27 years’ experience in the health and social care sector, including working in senior leadership roles for the last 18 years, covering operations, business management and quality assurance. Paul has a real passion for person-centred care and how that is delivered at the highest level.
Paul has worked across a diverse sector over his time in health and social care and brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Regional Manager. Paul believes in integrating real and meaningful values and culture into a service and in doing so, delivering the outcomes for the people we support. Paul goes by the theory of values with no meaning, which has no value.
Outside of work, Paul is the father of three boys and a 2nd degree black belt who teaches Judo.

Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years. Catherine’s first role in the care sector was working with a disability charity that ran nursing homes and enablement projects for young adults. While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.
Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.
Out of work, Catherine enjoys baking, gardening and walking the family Labrador. The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
