Review from Paul B (Son of Resident) published on 8 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Following a fall at home at the end of December and then contracting flu whilst, in hospital, Mum was very frail and too unwell to live alone at home, but the hospitals over Christmas were keen to discharge with no care plan offered, just transport arranged home without telling the family.
Panic ensued, and I rang a number of homes whose managers had taken Christmas off. Not at St Georges though!
St Georges manager and his team moved very swiftly, met with me, and showed me the home and what they could offer. We weren't sure what we needed, and the home has been very accommodating. They went to the hospital in Bristol, assessed Mum, and arranged to have her brought to St Georges. All before several other homes even managed to call me back following my initial enquiries. (They did eventually in the New Year!).
The staff are lovely and friendly and encourage her to join in with activities. She never turns down a chance of a glass of wine!

Mum loves the food, which is excellent.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. I am so glad our wonderful team in St Georges was able to help you and your Mum in such a stressful time. I'm also delighted to hear your Mum is enjoying life in St Georges home. My very best wishes to you and your family.

Overall Experience

From the first time that I met with the liaison manager, I felt at ease; he responded to my questions about the home and the vacancy situations for my mother with great knowledge and confidence. I was shown around the home at St Georges and shown a few rooms that were empty at the time, he mentioned the activities that residents are encouraged to do, and then I was introduced to the chef, whom I found to have a great understanding of the nutrition that older and disabled persons require to help with their health. The chef will cook anything that a resident fancies - nothing was too much trouble. The staff are very nice and polite; they even offer a cup of tea when you are visiting even though they have a lot of work to do - I find that very considerate. The whole atmosphere around the place feels calm, friendly and extremely well-organised. I am very grateful to all concerned for placing my mother at St Georges time has been very difficult over the past 18 months for her.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. I am delighted to read your response, and I know the entire team in St Georges will also be thrilled; thank you. I love the simple kind gesture of a cup of tea; sometimes, that's exactly what we all need! Thank you, and best wishes to you and your family.

Overall Experience

Very welcoming when my friend, unfortunately, had to go into a care home. We viewed a few different homes, and this one by far seemed very up-to-date and clean, and the staff were more than happy to help in any way they could.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. I am very pleased to read you and your friend received a warm welcome. The entire process of viewing care homes can be quite daunting, so we do try harder to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you again.

Review from Michael L (Nephew of Resident) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't praise St George's Nursing Home highly enough. The staff are doing an amazing job. They are genuinely friendly towards both residents and visitors. We have visited Aunt three times, and each time we have been welcomed. Aunt seems really happy and tells us how well she is being treated and how good the food is etc. It's always worrying when a relative needs care on a continuing basis - will the care be good? Will my relative be happy? Just a couple of questions that go through your mind. I needn't have worried.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Hello, thank you very much for providing us with your review. I love reading how happy your aunt is and that you've had warm welcomes. We have some very special people working with us in St Georges; they'll be delighted to read your kind words; thank you. My best wishes to your family.

Overall Experience
Absolutely outstanding service at St Georges.
One gentleman has gone above and beyond with Mum's care and assisting all of us too with our anxieties.
Every single member of staff we have met has been very attentive, has supported Mum and has offered feedback on Mum's stay at every visit.
The home is beautiful, extremely clean and in good repair.
Mum has been so very well looked after, and the food has been nutritious and plentiful.

She has been involved in activities every day and has enjoyed every minute!

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Hello, thank you for your review. How wonderful it is to read of your pleasure and delight with the supportive genuinely caring service provided by our St Georges colleagues. I hope you, your Mum and your family all enjoy our kind, caring service happily for many years. With my very best wishes to you all.

Overall Experience

The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They always seem to be in the right place at the right time when residents need help. The home is laid out in a welcoming way, with kitchens and dining rooms on both floors ready to accept residents and visitors at any time of day for tea and for coffee or help. They are also happy for you to make tea for yourself and for your resident if you so wish. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are all kind and very helpful. There is even sun cream in a cupboard near the entrance to the garden, so your loved one doesn't get sunburn. A home of his standards.

Review from A H (Friend of Resident) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My friend was transferred to St Georges on end-of-life care from the hospital. She was extreme;y poorly and later (only a few days after) passed away. I was able to visit her and be with her in her hour of need and was welcomed by all. Nothing was too much trouble for her last comforts, even though she was never fully conscious. Thank you - I felt fully confident in her care and the kindness shown by all the staff I met.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

I am so sorry for your loss. It is wonderful that you were with her in her last days. Our colleagues in St Georges are all very caring. End-of-life care is very special, and it is a privilege for us to provide support for loved ones as well as the resident. My very best wishes to you in this sad time. Thank you for your review.

My mother has only been in your care for 2-weeks. We, as a family, have noticed a vast improvement in her welfare and health, even in this short time. Her smile is back, and she really appreciates the care all your staff give her. On our visits, we too have noticed how helpful and friendly all the staff are at all times. Thank you!

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We are thrilled that you can see an improvement in your Mother's health and wellbeing already. I am not sure whether that's because the team is so welcoming and loving or the chef's excellent food! Or perhaps it's both! The staff will be delighted to read your comments, it means a great deal to us all. Thank you very much, Helen

Review from Lesley D (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 January 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Care is generally very good, and staff are friendly and helpful. The home is very clean, and food is generally good, but there is a lack of social stimulation and activities for those who are able to take part. During Covid restrictions, the home made visiting as easy and as possible as they were able to, and if a resident needed to isolate, one essential visitor was allowed.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Review from Jane S (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can't praise or find words which describe how wonderful the staff and home are in everything. Care of my mum, care of me, dealing with the sad situation. The staff are caring, the ambience of happiness is wonderful as they work together as a team. The food produced was amazing. The laundry service is superb, as is the cleanliness; it really is a wonderful home, and I feel so fortunate that my mum's last days will be here surrounded by love and attention.
I didn't choose here as Mum was discharged from hospital to here.
I would recommend it to anyone.
If a resident is able to take part, there is plenty for them to do.
Each person is treated with respect, and nothing is ever too much trouble
When I feel low, there is always a kind ear to listen to.

Thank you so much for helping me deal with a very difficult time.

Overall Experience

From the outset, my husband was cared for in the most professional, caring and efficient way. All staff were kind, respectful, but friendly both to my husband and myself. Despite Covid restriction, visits were well managed, and staff were sympathetic and helped make them meaningful, allowing time to discuss his needs and condition to ensure they met his needs as efficiently as possible at all times. I should add, the funeral director handling his funeral commented that this home is one of three of the best.

Carers and nurses were excellent. They have a person-centred approach and wanted to get to know our mother as an individual. Rooms were very pleasant, although they got very warm in hot weather. Only negative was that it was often difficult to get in touch by phone - calls were unanswered, not enough portable phones, not enough plug points in the room.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. We are currently reviewing the phone system, so your feedback is particularly timely, thanks, and apologies for the difficulties you experienced.

My husband has been at St Georges since March 2020; he went in a few days before lockdown, so I didn't know a lot about the care home because it was only supposed to be for respite. Once lockdown started and he couldn't come home, he got steadily worse and now can't do anything for himself. The staff are wonderful with him, can't praise them enough. The home is lovely and well kept. I don't know about the food or activities.

Thank you for your review. It must have been extremely difficult for both you and your husband to be separated at the start of the lockdown and since.

Review from Tim W (Son of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum is at the home for three weeks respite care following a fall at her home and three days in hospital. She has vascular dementia. In less than two weeks, she has gained three lbs. She had a problem with hydration which likely caused her to fall but since being at the home her colour has returned and she is drinking fluids well. Her ability to communicate is very limited but I have noticed that she is using a few more words.
She seems to enjoy knowing there are people about and listening to their interactions. I think the fact that staff are there during the night makes her feel safer.
It is very likely that Mum will stay at the home. She is very well looked after and we, as a family, feel happier knowing she is safe and being well looked after.
I cannot speak highly enough of the staff who are always so warm and friendly not only to the residents but also us, the visitors.

Food is of a very high standard and seems to be almost constantly available

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at St Georges Nursing Home
Thank you very much for your review.
We really appreciate our great team. They are, as you say, very warm and friendly. I think that is one of the reasons St George's is such a happy relaxed place. We welcome families and friends at any time.

Simon Potter
Simon PotterJob Title:ManagerJoined: 2024

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.

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.

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.

Claire
Claire Job Title:Home AdministratorJoined: 2025

The role is a very varied one that encompasses Claire's experience and knowledge to ensure the smooth running of the home.

Claire loves living close to the sea and makes the most of her time off spending time with her family and travelling.

Debbie
Debbie Job Title:ReceptionistJoined: 2017

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.

Richard
Richard Job Title:Chef Team LeaderJoined: 2019

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 Thomas
Paul ThomasJob Title:Regional Manager - Western RegionJoined: 2025

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 Crawshaw
Catherine CrawshawJob Title:Regional Resident Liaison Manager – Western RegionJoined: 2024

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!
