My father was cared for at St Mary's for 5 1/2 weeks after coming out of hospital, following an infection. We were so impressed with the care and compassion, as dad failed, and was less ad less able to do anything for himself. The end of life care was personal and sympathetic. A great number of the
staff went over and above their call of duty. Thank you.

The care and consideration from the moment you entered till you left was exceptional. The staff so considerate for patients and visitors at all times. Lesson look for everyone. Nothing was too much trouble and patients responded! Would recommend you to anyone. And thank you for providing such
wonderful care.

The staff and management have been excellent in my dad's 6 weeks tenure. It felt as though they were all caring for both him and the rest of us as a family as we watched him for his last 6 weeks. Thank you so much. There are names I would like to mention but obviously won't here. My only complaint
would be the lack of a decent sized lift - Dad has to be put in a wheelchair to be got upstairs, that was 2 days before he passed. Keep up the great care.

Whenever I have visited St Mary's, approximately 5 times per week. I have never left in an unhappy state.
I have experienced, sadness, laughter and most of all, love. My son is happy.
Over the last 6 months, my son has not had a key worker. I have never been told the reason for this.
90% of
your staff have a smile on their faces, what's wrong with the other 10%? I am so critical.

My husband has been at St. Mary's for over 3 years. I find the staff friendly, and any concerns are dealt with efficiently. I visit frequently and am met with a friendly smile from reception through to carers and nursing staff.

My mum came to St Mary's 3 years ago after deteriorating and needing nursing care. I remember a great sense of relief when mum arrived, knowing she would be well looked after. They reassured me when she arrived, and still now I feel at peace. knowing mum is well looked after. The entertainment and
activities are brilliant, all the staff are loving and caring, and I couldn't ask for a better home for my mum. Thank you, St Mary's.

When our lovely dad was bought to st Mary's court we couldn't believe how beautiful the care home is very tranquil lovely serene atmosphere the staff are absolutely amazing all so very kind and genuine care is given which makes us feel so content knowing our lovely dad is getting the care he
deserves after a not pleasant stay in hospital with zero care we can actually sleep at night because of all the wonderful staff they greet visitors with a lovely smile they are warm and welcoming and that means the world to us

My mother has been in your care for 4 months now. In that time, she has been given exemplary care, compassion & safety. The food she has been offered, more like a restaurant than canteen. The activities offered are carefully planned and fit for dementia patients. Nothing is too much to ask. The
patients are never forced to do something they object to.

I think this place is very good.

My son moved to St Marys on the 12th July 2024, at first I visited everyday. I have reduced this to 4 days per week.
This reduction is due to his settle in so well, and being so happy. The biggest problem to us both is my hearing problems and his speech difficulties. His has got worse. I enjoy
every visit and see sadness, happiness and love each time thank you. I apologise for my writing.

I am the brother of a resident, and have visited him at St Mary's since he was first taken in as a resident.
I want to say that I am very grateful that he was one of your patients, as I found St Mary's the perfect place for him to be, bearing in mind his age and infirmity.
Your staff are to be
commended for their caring and sympathetic attitude to those in their care. They all seem to go about their duties cheerfully, with patience which reflects very well on your selection and training for what is an unenviable task.
The home itself has always been clean and welcoming. The receptionist is a great asset to your staff, as she is the front line, as it were and the first person to greet you as you enter the building. Her welcoming smile sets the scene for the rest of the visits, and I cannot speak more highly of her, than to tell you, that her welcome is always bright and cheerful.
The office staff, one in particular, have always shown concern and professionalism in their dealings with concerned relatives. They have all been excellent in their care and compassion.
St Mary's is always clean, and this includes all the patients rooms, even their toilet facilities. This does your company great credit.
Suffice it to say, that should the time come, when I need such attention. St Mary's is the place I would choose.
Thank you very much indeed for looking after my brother so well. We will miss all of you now he has passed.

My experince has been extremly good with helpful staff both care and administration.
I can only hope my sister settles at St Mary's.

My father spent just under a year at St Mary's Court Care Home and the nursing care support he was given was excellent.
The team at the home made his stay very enjoyable and his medical treatment ensured that he was comfortable initially through stabilising his condition to his passing.
The staff
was so friendly and engaging taking time to socialise with him during his stay and us during visits.
Communication throughout was clear and timely both in terms of his medical support and funding.
Out whole experience with St Mary's Court has made what could have been a very difficult time, a lot more pleasant and manageable and my father and ourselves could not have asked for more.

My sister has lived at St Mary's Court for 17 months. I visit her regular and find all the staff kind and caring. She enjoys all the activities and joins in. She loves having her hair done once a week by the hairdresser who is lovely. She recently returned from hospital and was so happy to be back
home. Thank you to all the staff at St Mary's
07 March 2025
Lovely people, very friendly, very caring, very professional. Building was warm, clean, tidy, food is excellent. Chicken curry - my favorite). 10/10. You are looking after my mother.
You show her dignity, patience and a little bit of old fashioned love. Thank you very much.

My husband has now been at St Mary's Court Care Home for a year now. I am still so impressed of the high level of care we have always received. The senior staff are very attentive and very much on the ball, while all the carers are so kind, patient and supportive, I always enjoy my visits at St
Mary's and feel it's becoming my second home. I know my husband is well looked after, happy and safe. So glad we have found St Mary's.
05 November 2024
Dad has been there for 3 months now and it feels like we have snippets of Dad back. He loves the activities and we are pleased to see there is a wide range on offer, some of which we have joined in with and enjoyed on our visits. It feels like the staff have really taken the time to get to know Dad,
engage with his silly sense of humour and meet his needs. Knowing he is in very good hands makes a really stressful time a bit easier! Thank you.
16 October 2024
I would just like to say from my whole family, that at such a difficult time the staff were amazing. They all showed compassion, empathy and so much kindness.
Every staff member we came across was truly amazing and treated my grandad with such dignity but a special thanks to two members of staff in
particular who took time out of their busy days to talk to us and explain the process. As well as caring for my grandad they always made sure the family was okay and was looking out for my nan. They were like our Guardian Angels.
Thank you.

I visited my husband today - I aim to arrive close to supper in order to help him eat and to give the carers a hand too. He was deeply asleep but after about a quarter of an hour he half woke and groaned, also rubbing his head, arm and tummy. I didn't think he was very well. I informed his carer of
my concerns. She reckoned he needed to be changed etc., and would let the senior carer know. I went off to the lounge until she was done. When I returned I encouraged him to eat his supper, which he did, but then he began to shake almost as if he was having convulsions. He clearly needed to get back to bed and managed it without my help. I told the nurse who was in charge of meds what had occurred and she came immediately to see my husband. She said once he had had his medication his condition could improve and she would 'phone me later to give me an update. My visit was upsetting but I was confident that my husband was being well looked after.
