My husband has been a resident for the past few years, the staff are absolutely brilliant with him. They see to all his needs, take him out and generally look after him . We are so pleased with his care .

Lovely home, mum was well looked after and had a wonderful time. Activities are on all the time, they focused on mums routine and took account of her likes and dislikes. Mum was not keen to go but once there had a great holiday, and even said she would be happy to go again. The manager is a gem. The recent fate was lovely as well, they all work so hard to make sure all residents are catered for with hobbies. One big thing was all mums clothes came home no lost items or unknown items appeared this is credit to how they value the people.

I regularly visit my friend daily and am always greeted by friendly cheerful staff. The hospitality is excellent with an always plentiful supply of liquid refreshments and fresh baked cakes. I cannot praise the entertainments team enough providing an abundance of fun packed, stimulating activities. There is always something for everyone. This is a very well managed home that I would highly recommend.

The care and attention to all residents is excellent. The home is always cleaned to a very high standard. Entertainment is always geared to what the residents enjoy. The kitchen always provides what is asked for. The care nurses do a very well looking after and taking residents in the garden or down to the lounge to join in social events. The reception staff always have a smile for everyone.

My mum receives expert care at St Fillans, but more importantly she is treated like an individual and her personal preferences are acknowledged and respected. The staff are fantastic and full of love for the residents they care for. I feel happy in the knowledge my mum is safe and looked after as I would want for her Any requests or issues are swiftly dealt with by management and they are constantly looking for feedback and engagement from families. Thank you!

Mum has been in a few care homes and St Fillans is by far the best. From the moment you walk in the front door you are greeted by such friendliness by all the staff. Nothing is too much for them and they will do anything to help. Relatives and friends are encouraged to join in the entertainment and I'm always advised and consulted about any medical issues. To me the home is like a 5* hotel and couldn't think of anywhere better for my mum.

My husband was sent to St Fillans after a stay at Colchester Hospital, how lucky were we..from day 1 to the time he passed on 12/5/25 the care was outstanding. From the top management to the highly trained nurses to the care staff , the receptionists ,and the lovely ladies who serviced the rooms .my family and I were always greeted with a smile no matter what time we arrived .Living in Clacton it would have been much easier for him to be there ,but not once did we mind the journey.So thank you St Fillans just a pity not all care homes are as good as you.

I would recommend St Fillans Care Home to everyone. The care for my husband has been amazing for the last sixteen months. I cannot fault all the staff from the nurses, carers, cleaners, kitchen laundry, admin and entertainment, they are all caring, friendly, welcoming and professional. The home is beautifully decorated, with specific decorations for each season, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter etc. The entertainment is exceptional with a variety of different activities throughout the whole year which is enjoyed by all the residents. What more can I say, 5 stars!

My dad is a new resident and the transition was daunting at 1st but both my dad and our family have had full support from every member of staff we have come into contact with. I have 100% trust in his care, and how he is treated as an individual and could never imagine that a care home would be as exceptional as we are finding it. We feel lucky Dad has been placed in your care so thank you all.

My mum's care has been excellent since she was released from hospital with a leg injury. We were told she was at end of life and was not eating well. Thanks to all the staff, she has had vast improvements. Food is excellent and activities have very much improved in recent times. I can not fault the staff and management.

I cannot say how much I appreciate the care my brother receives at St Fillans Care Home. He is only 67 with early onset dementia and he has had a really difficult care journey until he arrived here! The staff simply could not be more caring or aware. They anticipate his every need as he can no longer articulate what he requires. I am so thankful for all that is done.

Such a well-run and happy home. Lovely carers, never complaining. Good nursing and the entertainment is excellent. Everybody is helpful and willing.

My father is at end-of-life - the care given is really good and the staff on St Johns could not be more genuine in the care and compassion they show to both the residents and their families. In the last few months, the entertainment has gone from strength to strength, this is down to one person who manages this now. The care home manager is very kind and compassionate.

I found St Fillans Care Home very caring and friendly. The environment is clean and staff are amazing. Management team is prompt and approachable. Good activity team which goes above and beyond. I am happy and so is my dad.

Our mum has lived at St Fillans for almost 6 years and throughout this time the care and kindness of the whole team have been exceptional. The care Home management team have supported our Mum wholeheartedly and are always available for a friendly chat and to share their experience and wisdom. The nursing and healthcare staff are just fantastic, so kind and caring. Without their compassion, skill and understanding of complex needs, Mum would not have thrived and overcome so many of the challenges that failing health can bring. A special thanks to all the nurses and healthcare staff within the Charter Hall Suite who support our Mum on a daily basis. Their kindness, empathy and dedication is appreciated beyond words. A final note of thanks to the wider Team at St Fillans who make Mum’s experience so great. With engaging activities, tasty food, and a flawless laundry and housekeeping service we could ask no more. Our thanks to everyone.

Amazing, friendly home. Residents are well looked after. There are plenty of food choices every day. Carers go above and beyond, and the entertainment staff are always happy to help too. Highly recommend!

This care home has been rated ‘requires improvement’ by the CQC, please take some time considering this care home for your loved one, it does lack some basic requirements you would expect. Hopefully with close monitoring by the CQC the Manager can assist the staff by bringing themselves up to some suitable basic care.

Amazing staff, exceptionally welcoming, friendly and a fantastic family feel all round. Couldn't find fault with the place. The staff really seemed to genuinely care and attended very quickly when called. Most Importantly the the resident I visited was happy there and even liked the food! Left feeling very relieved.
