On the whole my husband is well looked after sometimes he has not been changed often enough but once I mention it they are always there to help. For someone with dementia, there isn't a lot of mental stimulation, a lot of the activities are for people who do not suffer from dementia. The rooms and
communal areas are always kept very clean and laundry is done on a daily basis. Three monthly reviews are not done on a regular basis and have to be requested.

Staff welcoming, care home always looks clean and is warm. Food well cooked. Not worried about safety or security. Activities could be more person specific or one to one interactions. More feedback on patients health and treatments would be appreciated.

My father is comfortable and well cared for. His health has improved since he has been here. We are happy with the support he receives. The atmosphere is always calm and the staff are friendly and helpful. Karen in particular has shown genuine kindness and compassion.

The care my mother has received at St Rita's has been excellent. We chose the home because we liked its ethos, and from the moment you arrive the staff are always warm and welcoming. The rooms are good size, comfortably furnished and feel homely rather than institutional. Meals are served in the
dining room, giving residents the chance to eat together and socialise. Communication with staff has always been good, providing updates on request. Plenty of activities for residents as well as organised outings. Most importantly, the staff are caring and take time to understand each resident and their individual needs. We like that it is not solely a home for people with dementia which help create a more balanced and supportive environment.

We have been very impressed with the high level of care my mum has received. The staff are very friendly and kind. I would highly recommend St Ritas.

All the staff are extremely polite, kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble and they provide some very good entertainment and activities. The chefs produce some excellent and quality menus and I have enjoyed every meal. I love sitting in the garden and looking at all the surrounding countryside
and wildlife.
11 June 2025
I spent six weeks at St Rita's for care after a bad fall and found the carers very kind and helpful. My room looked over the garden and St Ritas is set in beautiful countryside.

As I visit my friend once a week I have no experience of the activities provided although sometimes she entrusts to me about something like a visit from the singers. I also cannot comment on a safety security or value, for money as I am not privy to these things. The staff are always friendly to me
when I visit and my overall impression is that my friend is very happy in this care home.

My mother entered St Clare's in May 2025 when she's had Alzheimer's for around 6 years. She was 90 and was beginning to get bouts of pneumonia. We chose St Clare's because it was beautiful- lovely views, decor, layout, easy access for her family we were all so grateful for the tender, thoughtful
care that she received. She died in March her last year of life spent at St Clare's was full of love, laughter, good food and the care of the excellent team. We'll always be grateful.

My wife has been a resident for nearly five years and has received care.

Dad has been at St Rita's for 15 months now and is very settled. He has benefited greatly from the outside space. The indoor space is good for Dad's pacing. Dad takes part in all the activities and various outings and we are grateful for the stimulation he receives from these. Recently, I had to
tell Dad of a family bereavement and we were both well supported during this. All Dad's needs are met promptly and thoroughly. I recently enquired about a bird table for outside his window. The next day one was in situ for Dad to enjoy. Thank you.

My relative has been living at St Rita's and is very settled. She appears to have no issues with anything except her deafness which has nothing to do with the care home.
08 November 2024
My mother has been a resident for just over a year. St Rita's is a very welcoming and caring place to live. I am welcome to visit at any time and all the staff are very kind and supportive. They are always happy to discuss my mum's needs and have been very active in managing her medicines and pain
management with the Doctor. I feel that St Rita's cares about my mum.
07 November 2024
St Rita's was recommended to us by a former care worker and is better than I could have hoped for. Choosing when to move Mum into care was difficult, but choosing where was easy. It was the only care home we visited that we actually liked. Every member of staff is a friend and visiting is a
pleasure. Mum has been a resident for the past six months and I am very grateful to all of the staff for everything they do. Thank you.
24 October 2024
Very good experience for my mother in St Rita's. Visiting is made very easy by the staff. My father has been made very welcome enabling them to keep in contact. Issues are dealt with promptly and efficiently with great understanding.
16 October 2024
A warm and caring environment, with fantastic staff that are very professional at all times. Many of the staff have been here for a long time which speaks for itself. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the residents are happy in their home. We are always welcome if we wish to join relatives for a
meal and we can help ourselves to tea/coffee when visiting - it really is a wonderful care home.
21 November 2023
My mum is being exceptionally well cared for by the staff at St Rita’s. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are all so friendly and resident focused. Mum feels that the staff have become friends and feels very safe and secure here. Mum’s room is spacious and kept spotlessly clean, she is
very happy with it. All in all a fabulous care home, run by an extremely caring and dedicated management.
I cannot fault a thing and am delighted that my mum is staying here.
