About Us
St Mary’s House was established in 1972, when bought by Christopher and Wendy Farrer.
They manage every detail of the running of the Home and are dedicated to providing care with dignity to the elderly. They strive to make a positive difference to their residents’ lives by providing compassionate, high quality care. Mr and Mrs Farrer have recently been joined by their daughter who supports them part-time in the office, and they are ably assisted by a well-qualified team of Carers, Cooks and Maintenance staff.
Although St Mary’s usually provides long term care, short-term respite care can sometimes be arranged. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide care, particularly for those with dementia.
We would be pleased to show prospective residents and relatives around the home at any mutually convenient time.
Our philosophy:
- Promotes good physical and mental health in older people
- Ensures person-centred care and support as outlined in each individualised care plan
- Ensures support and specialist training so that staff have the skills to recognise and meet changing needs
- Ensures close working with all healthcare professionals to provide holistic care and treatment
- Complies with and embraces the requirements and values of the Care Standards Act
- Creates an environment where “home is at the heart”
