Mum is very happy, clean, loved and we couldn't ask for more. Any issues are dealt with quickly.

This home really feels like a home. My mother is well known and genuinely loved. She is always clean and presentable. Even as she declines, she has activities she can enjoy. Care has been appropriate to her needs, even with significant changes. We feel listened to when we have queries or concerns.
The home is always very clean, no smells. Food and drink is top notch.

I had my long time neighbour living in this care home, and I visit her occasionally. Never has this home failed to amaze me. The facilities are outstanding, it is always clean and tidy and residents all well looked after. Staffs are very responsive and caring.

I have always found the home very clean, tidy and welcoming. Staff are very accommodating and goes that extra mile. There was variety in food and activities were amazing like involving animals and it was not just limited to bingo and board games. Staff were always around and willing to help. Team
was very resourceful and happy to help. Thank you, team St Fillans.

Always a pleasant welcome from all staff when I come and visit my mother in law. Polite & friendly staff. Always clean & fresh. Lovely decorated for themes of Halloween to make it as homely as they can for residents. Lovely to see all the activities listed as you come in to see what planned for the
month. All staff keep you informed about whats going on with residents. They have activities booked in for residents to go out or come in for them, eg (they had baby goats). She enjoyed the trip to the seaside for chips. Mother in law seem happy & content.

Myself and my family are so grateful to all the staff at St Fillans for everything they did to ensure my Nan's time here was comfortable and dignified. She was well cared for and always treated with love, kindness and respect. The staff were always welcoming and friendly when we visited, and we were
kept well informed throughout Nans stay. When Nan passed away, the staff were so supportive, guiding us with sensitivity and reassurance. The genuine care for both Nan and our family went beyond what we could have hoped for, and made a hard time easier.

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.

All round lovely home, very friendly and caring atmosphere. Staff are all lovely and go above and beyond for everyone. The manager is always approachable and helpful.

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.

My father has been a resident since April 2025 and he is having a wonderful life in the setting.
He is brighter and full of life , enjoying all the activities and the staff have been brilliant in making it feel like home.
In his words he is now enjoying life again.

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.
