Is St Georges a nursing home or a residential care home?

St Georges is registered as a residential care home. This means the home provides residential care without on-site nursing as its main service type. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-131815591).

Does St Georges provide dementia care?

St Georges specialises in dementia care. The home is CQC-registered for this specialism (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-131815591).

How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.

How many beds does St Georges have?

St Georges has 36 registered beds. The home provides residential care without nursing. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-131815591).

What do care home reviews say about St Georges?

St Georges has a 2.9 out of 5 rating based on 34 independent reviews.

St Georges is rated "Requires improvement" for Safety by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). No enforcement actions are currently recorded. Source: CQC inspection report (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-131815591).

St Georges is operated by CHEZ ENERGY LTD (Companies House number: 15069503). Ownership type: independent.

Has St Georges had enforcement actions?

There are no current enforcement actions recorded against St Georges by the CQC. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-131815591).

Is St Georges at risk of closure?

No public source can guarantee whether St Georges will close, but families can still check for warning signs in the available records. Public company records currently suggest high public financial risk for the provider. No current enforcement actions are recorded. Closure risk should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

Is St Georges's CQC rating improving or declining?

Recent inspection history for St Georges looks stable rather than clearly improving or declining. The most recent inspection we reference was on 12 November 2021.

Should I shortlist St Georges if it is rated Requires Improvement?

A Requires Improvement rating is not an automatic no, but it does mean the CQC found at least one important area below Good at St Georges. The current Safety rating is also Requires improvement. The current Well-Led rating is Requires improvement. Families should read the full inspection report, ask what has changed since it, and compare the home with stronger local alternatives before relying on a shortlist place.

What is St Georges's food hygiene rating?

St Georges currently has a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5 out of 5. The latest published hygiene date is 16 September 2025. Source: local authority food hygiene records.

What questions should I ask when visiting St Georges?

When visiting St Georges, start by asking the team to ask to see the latest inspection report and what has changed since it, ask how staffing levels work on day and night shifts, and ask how families are updated when needs change. These questions help you test whether the public picture on this page still matches day-to-day reality inside the home.

What does our visit checklist include for St Georges?

Our visit checklist for St Georges starts with the basics families often miss: the latest inspection report, staffing levels across day and night shifts, how the team updates relatives when needs change, and how care plans are reviewed in practice. On RightCareHome, the page-level checklist is then extended with personalised follow-up questions based on the home’s inspection, review, financial and practical signals.
