My Father has been a resident at St Ives, since January 2025, after my Mum passed away. He has Dementia and before he moved to St Ives, was struggling to cope. He took a few weeks to settle and is now happy. All of the staff are kind, attentive, proactive, welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. Dad
is constantly being attended to and encouraged to live a full life, with activities and socialising. My sisters and I would highly recommend using St Ives, whether for residency or respite. We visit Dad often, knowing that when we leave him, he is being cared for in every way. Thank you to every member of staff, who makes up the team.

If you are looking for a care home for your relative, then this is the one and you can stop looking. I looked at a number of homes that were local to me before placing mum at St Ives and from the first day they were truly amazing and had her health and care as their focus as she had complex needs.
Initially mum was apprehensive but within a week she was happy and settled and really felt at home. Nothing was too much effort, I could not recommend this wonderful place highly enough.

My mother was resident for 9 months until her death at the home. The care and attention she was given was genuine and compassionate from all the staff. Everyone at the home was warm and welcoming and if anything needed sorting/organising eg appointments it was done; nothing was too much trouble. The
management team were exceptional and made a difficult time much easier for us all as a family.

My husband was extremely well cared for. The staff nursing and everyone else could not have been more caring.

St Ives provides a home from home environment with care and support. The staff are all wonderful and committed to treating residents with respect, dignity and individually. Families are encouraged and made very welcome. There are lots of activities to get involved with and family members are welcome
to join in. We especially enjoyed the musicians, bingo and tennis! Quality time can be spent enjoying a coffee or a wander in the lovely gardens.

I experienced a wonderful welcome in my room, my favourite biscuits were in a basket plus 4 cans of lager. This was a lovely gesture and made me feel very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Christchurch and an excellent day out at Bournemouth's new training ground playing walking football,
and also did a charity walk. Food, staff and management are all excellent.

When I first arrived at St Ives I had just left hospital and was very weak. After 3 weeks of care at St Ives I was back on my feet and felt well enough to live independently again. Everyone was very kind, helpful and friendly and always on hand. Any concerns I had were dealt with promptly. My family
were reassured I was safe and cared for whilst in the home. I would definitely go back again if required.

A really good experience. My brother benefitted from his stay with you. He was looked after well and afforded the dignity and respect he needed. Thank you.

My late mother was a resident for nearly 4 years. She was always safe, cared for and looked after as best as possible. Care and compassion when she passed.

My husband was in the care of St. Ives House for 8 months until he died. During this time he received excellent care. The house and gardens are lovely. There were always activities taking place and a weekly trip from the home if wanted. All were well run. I was welcome to visit anytime and always
warmly received.

My experience with the St Ives House management and staff has been over a period of nearly five years and the space that I consider them friends is testament to the great care my husband received during his time with them. He was always treated with the upmost dignity and great kindness.
09 June 2025
The care given to my mother during the two years she was a resident was exceptional. She was treated with kindness and affection always. From day one, the carers did their best to reassure her as she was extremely anxious and confused. Towards the end of her life, we witnessed how much she meant to
all the staff, and the dignity they showed her was so wonderful. She couldn't have been in better hands.

My mother-in-law stayed for 4 weeks respite care. I can not thank all the staff enough for the wonderful care that she received whilst there.
The team were also a great help to me whilst trying to navigate a very difficult time. A huge thank you to everyone.

Mum entered St Ives house in April 2021 as a resident, having previously had 2 stays on respite. There was never any question as to where she would live, she simply loved the home. Mum loved having company, she enjoyed and attended the activities in the home and the visits out to various places. As
her needs got more and she became less independent she had the best of care. Mum recently passed away at 107, in her last days the care and attention she received from the home was excellent. A wonderful place, I would highly recommend.
09 April 2025
Thank you to the whole team at St Ives House Care for the love, respect, professionalism, dignity and tenderness shown to my mother and her family during her years at the home. I felt that she was loved and wanted during the last period of her life and despite having to cope with the difficulties of
living with Alzheimer's she was able to fill her days with fun and laughter.

My lovely sister passed away peacefully on 18th January. She had lived at St Ives House for just over 3 and a half years after suffering with dementia for some time, she could no longer be looked after at home. The time had come! After some searching and a recommendation from a friend. St Ives was
to be her new home, we couldn't have found a better place! I can't praise it enough. She eventually needed 24-hour care. The professional care and empathy received from everybody looking after her, I cannot fault. This was not just a care home, but her home. Full of activities, fun and love. We all need that, they also embraced me. I could go on and on, thank you all is not enough.
