St Edith's Court care home

I am so happy that I found this little gem of a care home. It truly is a caring home from home. I was so worried about using a respite home for my mother-in-law and the staff were so welcoming and reassuring. We had a wonderful initial visit and met residents who were very obviously happy and comfortable and content. My mother-in-law spent a very h… Read moreappy week with caring staff that couldn't do enough for her and even checked her throughout the nights bringing her tea if she wanted it. She loved the food too! The diamonds in St Edith's are the amazing staff; forever cheerful, helpful, loving and caring, working so hard to ensure the happiness and well-being of the residents. She even joined in with social activities and came home looking like a glamour girl after having her hair done there! Thank you so much to everyone. We appreciate you all.

As soon as you walk through the door of St Edith's Court it feels very welcoming and homely, the staff are very friendly and will always answer any questions, the rooms have excellent facilities with en suite bathrooms and fitted kitchens... Mum has only been here a short while but loves her room and the fact she gets a choice of foods... she feels… Read more safe knowing staff are around all the time. I feel quite happy that Mum is living here ... and that she is receiving excellent care.

My husband has been a resident at St Edith's since April last year. He had a significant stroke in 2020. It was such a difficult decision for him to move to care but we realised I couldn't cope at home any longer. I feel so lucky to have found St Edith's, I visited many other local care homes. None compared regarding the accommodation. Each resid… Read moreent has their own bedroom/living space plus an en-suite bathroom and kitchen. More importantly, there is a calm friendly atmosphere with caring staff in every role. Food is good to boot! St Edith's appears well managed, responsive to needs and they go above and beyond the basics to mark events as they crop up during the year. I know he is safe and well cared for and we now have the opportunity to spend quality time together again. Thanks.

Our Mum moved to St Edith's in March, it was a painful realisation for both her and us that she was now in need of full-time care, however, since her arrival, she has received amazing care from the whole team at St Edith's and we are grateful for all that each person does. Our Mum is still struggling with her change of circumstances but the care an… Read mored attention and good food that she is getting are helping both her and us, we all sleep better at night knowing that she is not alone and she knows too that she is being looked after and at the same time, keeps a level of independence - for example, it is always her decision as to when and what she eats, and when she goes to bed etc. It is amazing the work that each member of staff does and when I visit my Mum or when I speak to her on the phone, I know that each person she interacts with does so with professionalism, good grace and good humour.

We knew Mum was struggling to live at home on her own but felt very nervous about mentioning a care home to her. When a room became available, we brought her to St Edith's to have a look around and she was completely sold on it! Everyone you bump into around the home is so kind, supportive and really caring. It's clear that all employees are happ… Read morey and that makes the fantastic atmosphere. Mum immediately joined in the activities and spends time in the lounge with other residents. I really needn't have worried - St Edith's Court is an amazing place and we are lucky to have our Mum looked after there.

My mother entered St Edith's after falling at home, breaking her femur, three weeks ago. She was very familiar with St Edith's over the years visiting friends. She always said that if she ended up in a care home, it had to be St Edith's. I can now see why. She has been so well cared for and already feels part of the St Edith's family. The staff are… Read more caring, happy, very patient and treat her with dignity. She loves the food and has already joined other residents in the lovely bistro.

Beware of the parking. Don't believe you have registered your car when you sign in. There is a separate sign in for parking. My car was being incorrectly identified, if this happens take a photo because the fine arrives 4 months later. Tried to get help from the home but everyone is too busy doing the job they should. No complaints about the care g… Read moreiven to my Mum but the parking is a scam!
