Choosing a care home for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make. Read firsthand experiences from the families, residents, and visitors who have made Stella Matutina part of their lives.
My aunt became a resident after she was unable to look after herself. She was a very independent lady and was treated with dignity and love. In her final days she still praised the staff and the way they dealt with her passing was exemplary. I can only thank them for all the did for her.
All the staff are all lovely, and caring always willing to help in any way they can.
The atmosphere in the home is friendly and welcoming. The home is clean and well presented. There are excellent and varied activities that happen daily. There is a daily menu with an alternative available. Families are able to join their loved one for a meal.
My husband was in the home for 16 months and, throughout his stay, was looked after with great care and respect. Nothing was considered too much trouble, and I was more than happy with the caring attitude of all who were involved with him in any way. I would recommend Stella Matutina to everyone who needs a loving and caring environment in which to live.
Following a recommendation from a nurse practitioner friend who works on the Fylde Coast, we visited Stella Matutina in August 2021, which my mum instantly fell in love with. A caring and responsible environment with a Catholic ethos and plenty of activities available to dip in and out of as she pleased. When we get older, we have less energy. At Stella Matutina, my mum was able to make the most of her time by doing the things she enjoyed and by having medical staff (in the main) visiting her rather than her using up her valuable energy with external appointments. Sadly, Mum passed away in October 2022, but she did so surrounded by prayers, kindness and dignity. There will always be a place in my heart for Stella Matutina, where the managers, duty managers, staff and volunteers go above and beyond to make their residents feel at home.
The staff at Stella Matutina looked after my mother for the past eighteen months. I have been very pleased with the care and support she was given by the excellent staff, most of whom have worked there for a long time. When my mother's needs became greater, the care and support increased, and she was treated with dignity at all times. The home is immaculately clean and fresh, and all the food is freshly cooked. I would not hesitate to recommend Stella Matutina Care Home.
A close family friend was a resident at Stella Matutina. I was touched not only by the level of care she received by the genuine love and affection shown to her. You became her family, and she was happy and contented. Thank you.
From the time my aunt first visited for a holiday, she felt safe, welcome and love. She moved in within a month! She loved the staff and was always talking about the activities and wonderful food and care she received. Her faith life was important to her, so the fact that she could attend prayers and mass regularly was a great gift. She made new friends (with residents and staff alike). In the last years of her life, when she died, friends stayed with her constantly through her last days. She was given a wonderful, caring farewell to make her life - life that she lived to the full.
My father was a resident at Stella Matutina for 3-years. During that time, he was given such amazing care for both his health and welfare. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that he was made comfortable at all times. Dad made it to his 100th while a resident, and although Covid restrictions prevented family visits, the day was celebrated and made so special for him and the other residents by the staff and carers. I can only thank everyone at Stella Matutina for helping to make my Dad's end of life as positive as it could be and for giving me the peace of mind to know that he was so well looked after.
