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.

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.

appetising.
When visiting mum we were always made very welcome.

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

I am also impressed with the activities programme that is full of different activities that visitors are encouraged to join in with.
The staff keep us regularly updated with my dads progress and include us in relevant decision making.

has had several episodes of being quite unwell, we are always consulted and listened to.
We are happy that if dad cant be with us, you are doing your best to be the people he turns to for support.

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.

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.

me and helped both of us to adjust to our new lives, now we are apart, and I cannot thank them enough.
The activities they provide is wonderful, with entertainers coming in, trip outs
and celebrations marking all events. The team are excellent I would highly recommend.

of how he can be kept comfortable and safe with minimum intervention and within current guidelines.
He is treated with so much patience, care, and respect, and with knowledge of his particular needs and sensitivities gained throughout his time there. I am impressed with how much time the carers are able to give him on a 1:1 basis, reflecting the very favourable ratio of staff to residents and the general ethos of the Home. Good practice in any environment always comes from above; at St Vincent, it is taught, modelled, and encouraged.
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.

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.

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.

for their loved ones.

home and so the staff all knew Mum well and developed good relationships with us as a family. Communication was always excellent and the accounts team were very understanding when there a few problems with the local authority funding that we needed whilst the family home was sold. When Mum's care needs changed a different room with a special bed was found quickly and the staff moved Mum's belongings for us. Sadly Mum passed away quite suddenly, but I was given help to clear her room and was very touched by the card and the photos of Mum during happier times at the home that I was given. The offer of staff to be present when the funeral cortege went past was also very moving.

great support.
The staff spend time with each resident working for the resident to feel comfortable. Food is good, plenty of snacks available and the room is always clean.

had a bad previous experience at a different care home, I have been incredibly impressed at everything about the home and the way it is run. Dad had a wonderful welcome at the home and the friendly, caring, loving staff treated him and the other residents and visitors with respect and compassion. They really did the best for Dad in his time of need.
Sadly, Dad passed away in hospital during early October and lots of the staff turned out and showed their respects when the funeral cortege went past the home, this was very touching for Dad's family. In addition, they helped me clear his room and the management team refunded his overpaid care fees very quickly without any fuss.
