About Community of St Mary at the Cross
Community of St Mary at the Cross provides nursing care in Edgware for older people and younger adults, including people with physical disabilities. We also offer planned respite stays. Having qualified nurses here throughout the day and night changes what we can offer. Conditions can be watched and managed as they shift rather than handled as emergencies, medicines get proper review, and people who would otherwise move repeatedly between home and hospital can be looked after here by staff who know them well. For people approaching the end of life, it means comfort, dignity and familiar faces rather than an ambulance and an unfamiliar ward. Clinical care alone would not make this a good place to live, so we put real effort into everything else. Residents decide when to get up, what to wear and how to spend the day. Meals are meant to be enjoyed rather than administered. Relatives are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would far rather somebody dropped in unannounced than felt they needed an appointment. Where somebody has a physical disability, we agree together how they want to be helped and how much time they need, rather than how much time is convenient. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and support people who need nursing care for a while before returning home. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
