About St Johns Nursing Home Limited

St Johns Nursing Home Limited is a friendly nursing home based in Croydon, offering a warm and familiar environment where residents can feel genuinely at home. The team here understands how important it is for families to feel confident and reassured when choosing care for a loved one. With a real sense of community at its heart, St Johns aims to make every resident feel valued, comfortable, and well looked after.

St Johns Nursing Home provides nursing care and personal support to up to 54 people, including those living with dementia. At inspection, 44 people were using the service. Staff administer medicines appropriately, though medicines administration records were not always fully completed.

The home manages pressure sore risk through measures designed by healthcare professionals, but related records contained gaps, particularly in turning and hydration documentation. A new manager recently introduced auditing processes that identified these shortfalls. The manager has recruited additional nursing staff and a clinical lead, ensuring sufficient staffing levels to deliver safe and effective care.
