Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care needs for both my parents have been a roller coaster over the past 6 months. But throughout St Jude's have supported them and us as a family. I couldn't have coped without them. Having both domiciliary and live in care at times, has given us a unique insight into the company. There have been
hiccups but each have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. But they are always available to chat about concerns and the carers are brilliant.

My husband had end-of-life care from 23/9/24-28/2/25 at home with carers from St Jude's for a half hour morning and half hour evening to assist wonderful, caring and compassionate staff. I could not have coped without them. My husband passed away peacefully on 1st March 2025.

Review from M J (Daughter-in-law of Client) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My review comes straight from my heart, Dad has had a very unsettling time since the passing of his wife, then the diagnosis of Alzheimer's and dementia, Dad's wish has always been to stay in his own home, we did our best travelling 5 hours to visit him twice monthly however it became clear he was starting
to need more. After lots of research we chose St Jude's. While I respect it's early days, the improvement already has been noticeable. Dad's getting back to being his happy, chatty, tidy self. The staff are friendly, patient and very understanding of Dad's needs, the team genuinely care, it's not just a job and it shows encouraging him with his appearance, going for local walks and cups of tea, they help with housekeeping, but most of all Dad's happy. We as a family can't thank them all enough for providing a wonderful caring service, it's had a huge positive impact with Dad, also given us as a family the support and reassurance on a daily basis to know he's doing well.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Fabulous carers almost without exception. Friendly, kind, efficient and professional. Communication between care managers and client/family is less effective. Protocols not always followed e.g. new carer never met the client and not briefed by the client's needs/routines. Rely on a lot of persistent
input from family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad is recently widowed and has been diagnosed with onset of dementia and Alzheimer's. We live so far away from him and just felt that he required a bit of company and help in everyday life. We wanted him to stay in his own house and live the best life he possibly could and with the help St Jude's
this is now possible. The staff are very caring. And the organisation are very helpful, understanding and prompt at acting and give us the peace of mind in between our visits and give Dad the company he requires. Overall a fantastic experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Most of the staff are kind caring and considerate, friendly, confident and treated me with dignity and I've enjoyed having all women and nice to have the same few to build a friendship with them. We have had the odd one or two that rush and don't take as much care as others. The management and communication
to family of changes to hours or timings can be troublesome, I was also asked to download an app and tell them when I had which I did but I was never told what to do with it at all.

The vast majority of carers I see when visiting Mum are a delight.
They are sometimes a little late but I understand the challenges in arriving on time.
They are respectful, friendly and diligent.
It's great to know that Mum is in good hands when we can't be with her.

My mum has been having domiciliary carers for over 2 years. She has a fantastic team of carers who always go the extra mile. They are kind caring hard working and engaging. The office keeps me updated about rotas and the continuity of carers is brilliant. I can also read the daily records on line.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.652)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.652) out of 10 for St Jude's Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.652 for St Jude's Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 66 Ratings = 4.652
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for St Jude's Care Ltd is based on 11 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
