The coverage highlights the kind and personalised care our team provides every day, as well as the recent refurbishments to our lounge, dining area, and spa bathroom. These improvements to St John’s are all part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our residents’ quality of life.

Following their visit, inspectors praised the welcoming, person-centred environment at St John’s and the strong relationships between residents and staff. The report reflects the dedication, professionalism, and compassion our colleagues bring to their roles, and we are incredibly proud to see their hard work recognised both officially and publicly.

At Mansfield Care, we believe every encounter holds potential, and this achievement is another example of the high standards of care we strive for across all our homes.

A huge well done to the entire St John’s team, and thank you for everything you do.
