Latest Reviews for St Joseph's
13 March 2026
My father was in St Joseph's from August 2024 to February 2026. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and definitely made my father feel special. He responded really well to their humour and sense of fun. They were always attentive to his needs and nothing was too much trouble. There is
excellent support throughout and St Joseph's welcomed feedback through relatives meetings. Staff were very good at letting me know about any health concerns and liaised well with paramedics and the hospital when required. The management team were excellent and always accessible and ready to assist with any questions.

Thank you to Jacquie, Ashley and their team for making my mother's stay at St Joseph's so welcoming and happy.
Mum had been with you since last April and you settled her in and looked after her so well while she was with you giving our family huge peace of mind, something we will always remember.
A Doctors visit was always accessible, staff chatty and warm.
We thank you all.

The service provided by the care home was absolutely brilliant from all departments .we could not find fault with any part of the services of St Joseph's care home all members of staff from management to the cleaner's were excellent.

We were looking for a care home for our mother and were recommended a few to look at in Sudbury. As soon as we entered St Josephs, we felt it was right. It was light and airy, with wide corridors, a large day room and a pleasant feel to the dining room. All the staff are friendly and welcoming,
and nothing seems to be too much trouble. From carers, admin and management mum receives the best care and although she has not been at St Josephs long, she feels settled and safe and is enjoying her new home. We couldn't ask for more - a big thank you to everyone at St Josephs.

Well done to all at St Joseph's for making Mum feel so comfortable and welcome. A relaxed and friendly home with large social areas as well as lots of places to sit if you want to be quiet or chat with family visiting.

We needed to find a care home urgently for my 95-year old mother in October 2025. St Joseph's were very friendly, efficient and welcoming. Mum moved in within a few days and the staff were very helpful in getting everything organised, for example doctor's registration, district nurse visits etc.
She was made very welcome and was encouraged to join in meal times, events etc.
I would thoroughly recommend St Joseph's

I have worked in the care sector for 32 years, which makes you more aware of what good care should be. When a loved one has dementia, they are very vulnerable, they depend on the carers to attend to every need, and it is a big worry for families to trust a home to provide care for them. St Joseph's
have an amazing Team of Carers, they are respectful, kind, treat everyone as an individual , and with dignity.
When my mother moved into St Joseph's. It was a great relief as I did not have to worry about her as I knew the carers would look after her, as they understood her needs. I will be forever grateful to them for caring for my mother to her final days, she had 2 happy years with you. Thank you Sheena

Our Dad moved to St Josephs approx 15 months ago and despite our concerns he settled in very quickly and treated it as his home in no time at all. Without doubt the main reason for this was down to the approach and attitude of all the St Josephs team. They were consistently friendly, considerate and
caring and we could see they really liked Dad. They enjoyed having fun together and didn't mind Dad busying himself with tidying up or exploring everything. The team leaders medical care was first rate they were alert to and changes and advised us and the Doctors as necessary. A huge thank you to everyone for their care and kindness.

Both my parents have been residents at St. Joseph's for a total of 4 years. Both received excellent care throughout and at their end-of-life stages. The staff are kind, friendly and compassionate and we, as a family, felt confident that they were well looked after and in a safe environment.
Communication was good and I was always well informed of any issues regarding my parents. The home has a calm and welcoming atmosphere and is always spotless. I am forever grateful for the caring support and friendship my parents received from the staff and would have no hesitation in recommending St. Joseph's to anyone who needs assistance.

Unfortunately from recent personal (mum in law had a period of respite care) experiences it has to be a zero (unfortunately I cannot score any lower) out of ten from me.
Although on the face of it a negative review however, care and other ancillary staff are very much exempted from any criticism.

Mum has been at St Joseph's just over 2 weeks now, following a lengthy hospital stay & emergency operation. The staff at St Joseph's have been incredible - making a very difficult time much easier. The care they take over Mum is heart warming & although she is still settling in, I feel positive
about her future for the first time in a long time. The staff are also very welcoming when we visit. The cleanliness is 5 star & the food is varied & wholesome. I feel very lucky to have get Mum a place here.
18 March 2025
When we had to make the difficult decision to pass Mum's care into the hands of the professionals there was only place we ever considered and that was St Joseph's. We had heard so many good things about the staff and their compassionate care. We were not disappointed, from the day Mum entered the
home we knew she was safe and in good hands. However the staff didn't just take care of mum they took care of us as a family too. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we will be forever grateful to them for their compassionate care especially as Mum came to the end of her life. Simply put the staff just couldn't do enough for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who finds themselves no longer able to care for their loved ones at home. Thank you will never be enough!

I am my wife's carer and was looking for a care home to provide some respite. From beginning to end of her short stay at St Joseph's she was treated like a permanent resident with respect and care beyond my expectations. The staff are lovely and smile through every situation and really I wonder how
they do it.
As a family, we are now looking to place my wife within a care home permanently and will not look further than St Joseph's.

My mother was a resident in St Joseph's for nearly four years until her death in December 2024. I cannot say strongly enough how amazing they were in handling her care and her well being. She was not the easiest of people to deal with but everything that was done for her was done with a smile on the
carers faces. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff's kindness in Mum's last few days was so touching. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending St Joseph's.

My mum is currently residing at St Joseph's and I wanted to say how amazing they are. One of the carers took my mum to the zoo last week which she thoroughly enjoyed and then danced to theatre music when she returned. That particular carer is so kind and the staff there are all so nice.
16 October 2024
We chose St Joseph's for my Dad because it was recommended to us and I'll pass that recommendation on. 'If you can get your relative into St Joe's don't bother looking anywhere else'. You will not find a better home. The warmth, care, understanding and kindness they give, to the whole family, is
amazing and one that we feel privileged to have been part of. St Joe's is like a family and we feel lucky to be part of that family. It has had such a positive impact on us as a family and we will be forever thankful to them all.

My father has just finished his 3rd stay at St Joseph's for dementia respite care. I cannot praise all the staff enough. The first time Dad was visited at home for the initial assessment and for his subsequent stays we felt like we were being welcomed as old friends. Not only has Dad had excellent
care but the staff, both admissions and carers, were so kind and supportive to us the family during what is such a difficult time. As Dad's condition has deteriorated they really understood how hard it is for all members of the family. The food was excellent and his room was always clean. I cannot recommend St Joseph's highly enough to anyone looking for respite or permanent care.

This is the second time this year that my husband has stayed at St Joseph's for two weeks of dementia respite care. It can be quite stressful, as you have no idea how they will get on, but I needn't have worried so much as due to the kindness of the staff he settled in well and was happy to go back
for a second stay. The staff welcomed him warmly and made him feel at home. It is, in my view, the kindness, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff that makes all the difference at St Joseph's and you can't put a price on that. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Joseph. And he loved the food as well!

My mother was in St Joseph's for 10 days of respite care. I was impressed from the start when 2 members of staff came to my home to meet Mum & obviously ask relevant questions. Mum was made very welcome & enjoyed her stay. She said all the staff were very attentive & friendly. She enjoyed the meals
& general ambience. She may have to stay on a future date & I have no hesitation for her to go & neither does she.

During this past year, it had become increasingly evident that my mother was in need of full-time residential care and required a suitable placement in the locality. St. Joseph's came highly recommended by a neighbour and I am very pleased to have secured a place for her. She has been a resident of
St. Joseph's for the past four months and I am really happy to say that she is being cared for extremely well and quickly settled in. This view is endorsed by my mother who cannot praise the staff enough for the way she is being looked after.
The home is bright and airy and in very good decorative order with a pleasant feeling of warmth about the place upon entering. All of the staff that I have come across during visits, whether care staff or administrative have been pleasant to engage with and display what appears to be genuine contentment with their work. Their interactions with residents and high level of care are clear to see and from a relative's perspective very reassuring.
