The Heart of St George's Nursing Home
St George’s Nursing Home in Witham has established a strong reputation for delivering exceptional care. The home offers a comprehensive range of services, including complex nursing care and end-of-life and palliative care.
Leading the team at St George’s is Home Manager Sally Morgan, a highly experienced healthcare professional with a 45-year career. Sally has extensive experience in both NHS and social care settings, and her deep understanding of patient needs has earned her recognition at the Great British Care Awards.
At St George’s, a culture of equality and inclusion is paramount. The home empowers its staff through flexible training opportunities, ensuring that all employees have the skills and knowledge to provide the highest quality care. Staff are also supported in completing their Care Certificate, reinforcing their commitment to delivering compassionate and inclusive care.
Sally and her team prioritise person-centred resident care. They ensure that residents have a voice in their care decisions and advocate on their behalf when necessary. This commitment to individualised care is exemplified by several case studies:
- Mrs. W: A resident with complex needs expressed a strong desire to die at home. Despite initial challenges, Sally and her team successfully facilitated Mrs. W’s wish, ensuring a peaceful end-of-life experience.
- Mr. M: A resident required hospital care for a medical issue. Sally questioned the hospital’s decision to discontinue treatment and advocated for his return to St George’s, where he continues to thrive.
- A Visiting Spouse: Sally extends compassion beyond the walls of the home. She provides support to a visiting spouse with complex needs, ensuring he feels welcomed and cared for.

Reversa's Story
Recruitment of Nurses has been such a topic of discussion, not only in the local news but also as a National topic, as both the NHS and Social care have had difficulties recruiting and retaining qualified nurses.
We wanted to find out what our Colchester care home Foxburrow Grange, and Outlook Care had to offer our nursing staff, and a good starting point was to ask one of our nurses at Foxburrow Grange nursing Home in Colchester.
Reversa Shava, known as Rev, joined Foxburrow Grange in May 2021. She had worked at Colchester General Hospital for 6 years and came to us as very experienced Registered General Nurse. The experience of working for the NHS during the pandemic is what made Rev decide to look for another job away from the NHS. Rev stated that workload was so heavy and relentless, she was absolutely exhausted due to lack of staff and due to the high levels of sickness across the hospital. She thought she would try something new. She saw the advert for Foxburrow Grange and applied for the position.
Outlook Care offered the following, and this inspired Rev to apply for the role at Foxburrow Grange
- Comprehensive training and induction package
- Progression and development opportunities
- 33 days annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata)
- Membership of the Social Housing Pension Defined Contribution scheme including life assurance of 3 times annual salary and pension contributions equivalent of up to 4% of your salary.
- Sick pay to support you if you are not able to work & enhanced maternity and paternity.
- Refer a friend scheme, offering £250 for successful referrals.
- Early Pay - access to pay you have already earned before payday.
- £4000 flat welcome bonus on successful completion of a probationary period (Permanent Nurses only)
- £500 retention award every 6 months (Permanent Nurses only & T&Cs apply)
- NMC subscriptions reimbursed.
Rev really enjoyed the interview experience , she said she found the staff team at Foxburrow Grange to be so receptive, welcoming and very kind, Rev joined the team, and she settled in very quickly and enjoys her role.
