Top Care Award for St Martin's

St Martin's has recently been awarded a 3 star rating (Excellent Quality Outcomes) by the Care Quality Commission.

Southend's Mayor Brian Smith and his wife attended an event at the home on 26 November to celebrate this achievement which followed an earlier in-depth inspection by the Commission.

The inspection covered a wide range of activities and the Commission made particular mention of the high standards of medication administration, activities for residents and meeting the needs of residents with dementia.

The Mayor congratulated the home and staff in this achievement and the manager Sue Field thanked all staff at St Martins for their efforts and committment which are reflected in this award.
