We are now looking at another 4 week respite and hopeful that he will settle into this care home.

Many thanks again Barry.

I cannot fault the care of the staff at St Vincent. They have been so caring with my husband. He settled in the home very quickly and made lots of friends. The food, the outings, the in house entertainment was so good and they celebrated all the dates of the year. Last Christmas they even had Father Christmas delivering presents. Words can't express my gratitude to all the staff for their love and care of my husband.

Mum has been living with altzheimers for several years. Mum came to St Vincents House Southsea for respite in October 2025 while I went to Cyprus for a week. When we came back mum had settled in very well and it seemed unnecessary to move her back to her home, where she had become confused and very anxious. I have had a very long connection with Sharon the activities organiser, as I used to bring my school choir there each term. The staff are very professional, friendly and patient and St Vincents has a lovely feel about it.

As a family we would like to send a heartfelt thanks for the wonderful care the team at St Vincents, Southsea have given dad over the 3 years he was there 2022 to 2025. Knowing he was looked after with kindness, dignity and patience has meant so much to us as a family.

Their support, compassion and the way they always went the extra mile never went unnoticed. We are truly grateful for everything they did for our father and for the comfort they gave us throughout his time there. We could not be more appreciative of the care he received.

My father lived at St Vincent Care Home from July 2023 until his recent death in September 2025. During his time there he was settled and content. My father had various medical conditions and throughout that time, he never needed to attend hospital as staff were so attentive and responsive to any changes in his physical health. They requested GP and district nursing visits when necessary. During his last few months he became much frailer and staff made the necessary adjustments to his care, whilst still ensuring he was given choice and control. The palliative care given was wonderful and my father died with dignity.

From the first time I walked into St Vincent House I was very impressed with the loving helpful care that all members of staff gave the residents. When mum moved in three weeks ago the staff made her very welcome and helped her settle in, and they attend to all of her needs. Mums life has changed since moving to St Vincent's and she is loving it. There is always things going on for the residents, entertainers coffee mornings, keep fit, bingo and outings to different parts of Portsmouth and Southsea. St Vincent House is excellent in every way.

When visiting mum we were always made very welcome.

Overall, l was very impressed with the home, never smelling incontinence issues.

My dad came to this rest home for a 4 week respite in January 25 . After only 2/3 weeks he liked it so much he's decided to become a permanent resident. All the staff are brilliant and can't do enough for him . This is one of the main reasons for his decision to become a permanent resident.

The staff keep us regularly updated with my dads progress and include us in relevant decision making.

We are happy that if dad cant be with us, you are doing your best to be the people he turns to for support.

I am so impressed by the change in my auntie. She is a much more happier and fulfilled person in just the 3 months she has been with you. Your staff are so friendly and it feels so good to know my auntie is really being cared for and loved. Thank you so much love.

My mum has been a resident since November 2023. The care she receives is exemplary from all the staff. Due to her dementia she took a while to settle but was shown kindness and compassion and loves living here now. She needs persuading to join in activities but Sharon works her magic and it is wonderful to see her participating in so many things. She is always clean and in her own clothes. The food is excellent. As a family we are always greeted as friends and the staff take the time to learn about us so that they can talk to Mum about her family. We could not have chosen a better home . Thank you.

My dad has been a resident for over 2 years and I can honestly say all the wonderful staff from management to domestics at St. Vincent's go above and beyond to make everyone feel happy and comfortable. The care and attention to detail is second to none. The residence always appear happy and content which is very important. St Vincents activity team are outstanding and provide lots of different things for them to do, like entertainers, arts and crafts, trips out along the seafront and even the local nursery children visit regularly which puts a smile on everyone's face. I can honestly say that choosing St. Vincent was 100% the right decision for my dad, I would strongly recommend this st Vincents to anyone looking for a safe and caring place for their loved one.

and celebrations marking all events. The team are excellent I would highly recommend.

I myself am treated with care and compassion at this difficult time. I don't have any family support and this means a lot to me, it gives me strength.

My Mother is coming to the end of her life after a stroke at 91. The staff are very respectful and thoughtful and keep me updated daily. The management was very thoughtful with financial matters and was very flexible. If anyone asks me what to look out for in a home for their loved one I say ask how long the staff have been there as I have found great comfort as the staff at St Vincent's have been there all of the 5 years of my Mithers stay and some have been there considerably longer.

When my mum went into St Vincent's in August 2022 it was an agonising time for us, as her daughter I felt like I was letting her down. But thanks to the amazing staff my fears were soon alleviated, my mum was made to feel like she was in her own home, her room was full of her bits and pieces and very homely. The care she was given was excellent and the staff all knew her and treated her with such kindness. They also treated me with compassion and kindness obviously realising what an awful time I was having in the beginning. My mum settled so well which amazed me, as when she first went in she was shy, depressed and really not enjoying life. The transformation was incredible, suddenly I had my mum back, a very happy lady with a heart of gold and a wonderful smile. She joined in with all of the activities, loved singing and dancing, the staff were brilliant at organising so many outings and activities. I can't thank them enough for everything.
