I cannot fault any of the care that my brother received during his 2 1/2 years stay at St Nicholas. The staff directly responsible for him were superb. Also all the staff who looked after the cleaning and cooking were tip top, the home was always spotlessly clean.

I bought my "aunt" - not really a blood relative, but a long standing friend of my parents- to stay with me in July 2023. At 96, she was finding it difficult to live in her own home. Her husband and son are deceased and her grandson is autistic and in a hostel. In June 2024 she developed what became
a stage 4 bed sore and was taken to hospital and then to a care home, by direction of social services. I had no experience of care home, but was aware of many shortcomings at that home and hence had her moved to St Nicholas House, which was highly recommended. The recommendations were right, the contrast is amazing. St Nicholas is all that I would imagine a care home should be. My aunt's accommodation is comfortable and well equipped, the staff are caring, friendly and communicative, the food is well thought out and the programme of activities for residents is well thought out and stimulating. St Nicholas House is a model of how a care home should be.

We were so lucky we managed to get a room in the lovely St Nicholas home for our Dad. We had heard such good things about the home and we were certainly not disappointed. Dad was suffering with Dementia and the last two years he needed 24 hour care. I cannot thank the management and all the staff
enough for their kindness and care with our Dad. I was able to visit every day for just over two years and was always made to feel very welcome. Dad was always well looked after and I was kept informed of any changes in his condition by the excellent caring nursing staff. Dad was treated with respect at all times and we couldn't have asked for more. Dad loved to sit in the lovely garden and we would spend precious time together. I made lovely friends at the home and will miss the chats and laughter. Dad sadly passed away in September and we as a family are so grateful to everyone for their care and understanding. I will miss everyone.

Everything is excellent about the care my mum is having
Staff are professional, courteous and friendly and give my mum a-lot of time.
As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is very good and it doesn't smell like a typical care home!
As a family we are kept very well informed and are asked our
opinion.

Mom has recently been admitted to St Nich's following several physical illnesses. Right from the outset, she has been made to feel very welcome, we have been able to arrange her room to resemble her front room at home so the transition has not been too traumatic for her. The staff are friendly,
caring & have adapted to Mom's needs very quickly. They are receptive to family requests & encourage family input to ensure Mom receives the best care possible. The staff are all permanent, which is extremely beneficial in providing continuing good care for Mom & others & it is very reassuring for relatives to see the same friendly faces when visiting. As a family, we love joining in the activities with Mom & we are also able to join Mom on trips out. It is obvious that St Nich's is a well run establishment with all staff carrying out their varied roles with professionalism & sensitivity. In an ideal world, Mom would still be at home, but St Nichs is the next best thing.

Just wanted to say thank you to all the amazing staff that looked after my mum during her stay at St Nicks
Even though she was with you a short while the love prayers and care was always appreciated and made me feel reassured every time I visited her
10 September 2025
As a family we were made to feel both welcome and supported by every one of the staff. In caring for mum it always felt that there was a strong supportive team but that her individuality was enjoyed and respected. I know mum had no desire to be in a care home but in choosing St Nicks we felt that
we had found a community where she would be cherished and well cared for. It was lovely that the carers shared her enjoyment of wearing her nice clothes and colour co-ordination and the incredible laundry team kept her clothes looking great. The communication from St Nicks, in particular from the nursing team, was excellent. Every change in needs was discussed with the family and the experience of the whole care team in caring for elderly residents with complex needs was very clear. We can see that mum had developed a rapport with the care and nursing team and I felt the same - I will miss my visits and chats with a couple of the staff members and the nurses and carers. Thank you.

Mum spent 16 nights at St Nicholas enabling me to go away for 2 glorious weeks with my husband. We could do this because we knew Mum would be safe and looked after. The standard of care is high - all staff members are friendly and approachable- really skilled in forming new relationships quickly. In
a short time Mum became really fond of all the staff working with her. Mum's needs are complex - she has bowel cancer and needs a low residue diet and once everyone understood what that looked like in practice, she was able to have tasty meals.
There are varied daily activities which you can join in with and which Mum thoroughly enjoyed.
However good a team is they can't function fully without good leadership. St Nicholas is very very well led. The ethos, values and committment of all are clear as soon as you enter the building.

My relative is happy, cared for and loved and respected at St Nicholas House. Her words 'I love it here, there's always something to do.". The respect and care and attention I have witnessed is nothing more than excellent. Watching the interaction between staff and residents, reflects an adult
caring and person-centred environment where the best is brought from individuals. Thank you for your wonderful care.

The staff are wonderful, compassionate and very caring to my mother. They are also very accommodating and friendly to us as a family.
We cannot praise the home enough. My mother absolutely loves them all, she enjoys the food and takes part in all the fantastic entertainment which they offer. Gold
stars all around!

I can't praise the staff here enough. Rooms are clean, warm and comfortable. My father is so well cared for and I get updates all the time with staff knowing me and my father so well. Nothing is too much trouble.
The staff are always happy and smiling and always on hand for whatever reason.
The
staff are patient and have such a good understanding of dementia and how it affects the patient as well as the family.
I can't recommend St Nicholas House enough.

We’ve been very pleased with the care Mum received at St Nicholas, the staff are thoughtful, and the atmosphere is calm and warm. When Mum is poorly, the nurse is very responsive, and communication with the care staff is excellent. The activities are fantastic, and the home is well-organised. The
activity staff, as well as the manager, deputy and receptionist, have been amazing at helping to settle in Mum and welcoming in family members and visitors; we’re all very grateful.

Mum moved into St Nicholas House in November following a long spell in the hospital where she was very unwell. Since moving to St Nicholas House, she has been made to feel so welcome, and the staff are all so lovely. Mum's mental health has improved, and following wonderful care, her bed sores have
either cleared up or got a lot smaller. Mum really enjoys the food and having her hair done by a visiting hairdresser each week. The activities coordinator is wonderful and painted Mum's nails as part of a pamper morning; Mum has never had her nails painted, ever! Activities take place every day. Mum doesn't always want to get out of bed, but the staff are good at trying to encourage her to get out. I can't fault St Nicholas House or the care my mum receives.
17 January 2023
Mum has lived at St Nicholas for nine months now, and we are extremely grateful and thankful for the very high standard of care that happens for the great majority of the time. The care, environment, food and general well-being of the residents are first-class. In particular, the activities staff
are just fab - something on offer nearly every day of the week. We feel very strongly that our views and wishes are listened to. The manager does a very good job of leading her team. It is s compliment to the staff that they attend many of the resident's activities during their own time.
The best care home in our locality.

Mum’s room is so lovely. We took all her pictures and photos she had at home to make it familiar to her. She’s made friends with a lot of the people in the home. The carers are lovely to her and she’s always clean and tidy. Although she’s only able to use one hand, she likes watching the activities.
The manager is very friendly.

Excellent and friendly staff - spacious, warm, clean environment, nice garden available for visits in the summer with lovely views and garden furniture - lunch served in the garden for residents when they have a visitor - lovely food.

Since Nan moved to St Nicholas House, she has been warmly welcomed by all the staff, care, nursing and admin staff. Nan has been assisted to join in the large variety of activities. Nan enjoys the food, and there are always lots of options. The care home staff have been extremely accommodating and
helpful. We are very pleased with Nan’s care.

My mum has settled well, much quicker than I had expected and is very happy here. She very much enjoys the various activities. She likes the food and says she is never hungry. She loves the view from her room.

Everything is excellent to me. Mum is very happy and enjoys going down to watch activities, loves her room and loves all the staff. Mum loves having her hair done every week, and loves seeing family and all the family dogs.
