Review from Nigel P (Son of Resident) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I can't believe how good this place is. The staff are so passionate about their job everyone has been so kind and caring towards my mother, they now feel as they are part of our family. They all go above and beyond what they do and nothing is too much trouble for them. We went in one day and a member of staff was on her knees at the side of the bed talking with my mother and holding her hand. I could go on forever praising the staff for how they are. The meals are outstanding there is a dining room the tables all have table cloths and napkins unlike some nursing homes who just have a bare table with cutlery on things like this just makes it so homely for the residents. The cleanliness is yet again outstanding. We are so glad/happy that we found this place, we can rest at night knowing that our mother who we love so much is getting the best care that she deserves at the age of 89.
I do say to people who ask how my mother is that its like a luxury London hotel. I would 100% recommend this place.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all involved.

Making the decision to put mum in a home was a difficult one but was made easier by the team of staff at St James. They have gone the extra mile to make mum feel settled and happy in her new home and always have time to chat with me and my sister to reassure us as well. St James Court is a bright, vibrant and happy place.

This was the 1st time my mother has been in respite and I have to admit my nerves were in bits leaving her, I retired from the NHS to look after my parents but sadly dad passed away in May, the care Mum received was outstanding the staff involved Mum with activities which she loved.

My mother has settled in quickly and all efforts have been made to make her feel happy, comfortable and safe. The staff are friendly and patient. There are activities ranging from armchair exercise, and balloon tennis to having mothers and toddlers visit. It is a great relief knowing she is being well looked after.

Review from Louise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mum has been at St James Court for fourteen months. It was a heartbreaking decision but Mum has settled in really well thanks to all members of staff. Any problems have been sorted efficiently and promptly, the staff are polite, caring and have a great sense of humour and are easy to get along with. All areas of the building are spotlessly clean, there is a good varied menu and Mum enjoys her food. I would highly recommend St James's.

Reply from Tracey Oliver, Home Manager at St James Court Care Home

Such a lovely review. I'm so proud of the team we have here at St James Court and as always go above and beyond and are always happy in their jobs as you probably see on your visits, always laughing and singing with the residents, it helps that we have such fun-loving service users who also love to join in the banter as I say. Thank you once again for your kind words.

Overall Experience

My mum has resided at St James Court from the beginning and I have every confidence in the staff team who work really hard on a daily basis making sure my mum is comfortable and happy. When visiting the home everyone makes a effort to say good morning and have always a good listening ear when dealing with issues or concerns. The home is always clean and safe for other residents to move around safely. The home is always busy with visits from children from the local nursery or doing arts and crafts encouraging the residents to participate. I am so reassured my mum is getting the care she needs and would like to thank everyone at St James, you are a credit to the company and appreciate everything you all do. I would definitely recommend saint James court. Keep up the good work

Review from Susan A (Regular Volunteer) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am a volunteer at St James Court and I love the time I can spend in the home with the residents and staff. My Mum was in the home for 5 years and since she passed away I still feel her presence here. We had some tears during the time she was here but lots of laughs too. I don't think our family would have coped at home looking after Mum. We could go and visit her any time and always came away with a smile on our faces (probably something she said, once she said me and my brother looked like each other and we could possibly be brother and sister) and we always knew she was well looked after and safe. My Mum was my best friend and it was the hardest thing to do to put her in a home, but we soon realised that is was the best thing, so that we got quality time with her. Thank you St James for not only looking after my Mum but also for looking me.

Reply from Tracey Oliver, Home Manager at St James Court Care Home

I'm so glad you continue to visit us on a regular basis your mum was a big part of the St James Court family as well as yourself and she will never be forgotten. You've always continued to support all our residents and the home and for that we thank you, and to us, you are a huge benefit and...

The manager is the most professional, caring person who looks after not just the residents and staff but also the residents' families.
I have no idea how I would have managed when I had to put my wife into the home permanently.

The same goes for all the staff who are very caring.

Overall Experience

Something I never wanted to do, was put my Mum in a nursing home. Things got worse with her mobility so we had to do something. We had heard about St James so she went in for respite first. After a couple of weeks, she booked to stop, and we could see why, the staff were brilliant with her, she had company, made new friends - St James is a home-from-home place. Plenty of activities all staff and other relatives have a good rapport. The food is outstanding and the home is spotless. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for your lovely words.

Review from Diane F (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum was admitted to St James Court after she had a fall at home and was no longer safe to be there. It was such a difficult decision but I can honestly say from the moment we first went to now, I can't praise the staff enough. Their kindness and understanding have been outstanding and have helped beyond words. The home is immaculate and the food looks lovely. Every effort is made to make it a home-from-home. Management is approachable and professional and they listen, nothing is too much trouble and the carers are absolute gems. I can't thank them enough.

Reply from Tracey Oliver, Home Manager at St James Court Care Home

Aww Diane this review is amazing, thank you so much for your kind words. I can't express how lovely it is for us all to receive such a positive review. I can generally say hand on heart all the staff here at St James Court love what they do and care deeply for all our residents. Thank you once again.

Having looked around several care homes for my mum, I knew this was the one. I was greeted warmly and openly by all the management and felt a very positive and caring vibe as I was shown around. I haven't been disappointed! My mum is respected and considered at all times with care and dignity. The staff make this place, they go above and beyond to make Mum feel at home as well as with her visitors. There is an air of warmth, empathy and support which I value and appreciate. Thank you, St James Court.

Review from Julie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Eleven months ago, we, as a family, were told to be prepared for the worst as our 94-year-old mum might not make it through the night. Now look at her!! She looks younger than she did five years ago, and her health has completely changed. This is all down to the wonderful team at St James’. It was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make regarding my mum going into a care home, but I have no regrets or reservations. All the staff here, from the manager to the cleaners, are heroes. Friendly yet professional, caring in a genuine way, have pride in what they do and very approachable. There are no problems here because should you bring anything to their attention, it is dealt with. We sleep very easy at night knowing Mum is kept clean, warm, well fed and, just as importantly, treated as an individual, enabling her to make her own decisions when appropriate. We wouldn’t want her anywhere else.

Reply from Denise Stephenson, Managing Director at St James Court Care Home

Thank you, Julie, for your lovely, heartfelt feedback about your experience with our St James Court.
