Review of St Anthony's from J W (Sister of Resident) published on 11 September 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
There are some members of staff who genuinely put their whole heart into the home and you can really see how much they care about the residents. Lauren, Sandra and Beenamol are always so friendly and happy to help. They are always willing to answer any questions I have and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. Nurse Lindy is absolutely brilliant. She is caring, approachable and always takes the time to explain things. I have a lot of trust in her, which gives me great reassurance.
Overall, the staff make a real difference. It's clear that many of them are passionate about what they do and genuinely want the best for the residents. I couldn't be happier!

Overall Experience
I volunteer for a charity called Therapy Dogs Nationwide (TDN) and do a one-two-one with a resident as well as quick meet-ups with others. I have visited several care homes but St Anthony's is by far the most welcoming and appreciative. They also offer amazing activities for the residents who all have complex neurological challenges. I have met many of the staff and they are all happy, helpful kind people

Review of St Anthony's from Gina R (Sister of Resident) published on 26 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My brother has been at St Anthony's Care home since 2006. Although there have been many changes over the years, he has always been well cared for. The care staff are dedicated to their work and always have time to stop and share a few words with residents. My brother is very happy here. The home is clean and decorated nicely. He enjoys the daily activities. There are 2 special carers who care for my brother, Mithin and Dipun. All the carers are good, but these 2 obviously treat him well as he will allow them to help with anything

Review of St Anthony's from Alex Y (Son of Resident) published on 19 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The service provided at St Anthony's is amazing. The staff are always caring, supportive and accommodating to all residents' needs, including my dad's. They are also excellent at keeping families informed. Recently my dad became very unwell and they acted quickly by calling an ambulance. They contacted me straight away, kept me updated and even stayed with my dad at the hospital until I was able to get there. Knowing he wasn't alone meant so much to me. I would also like to compliment the chefs and catering staff. I had lunch with my dad on Father's Day and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic and it honestly felt like we were in a restaurant rather than a care home, making the day even more special. Out of all the care homes my dad has been in, St Anthony's is by far the best. I honestly cannot find any faults and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent care for a loved one.
↩Reply from Gladys Tama, Home manager at St Anthony's
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you and your dad have felt supported by our team at St Anthony's.
Thank you for your trust and recommendation. It is a privilege to care for your dad, and we look forward to continuing to support both him and your family.

Overall Experience
Exceptional , deeply kind care .
Moving my brother here , was the best decision we ever made . The Staff are on an entirely different level. They are incredibly kind, compassionate and treat him with immense dignity. They follow his Care plan precisely and perfectly, thus keeping him safe . They keep him actively engaged, he used to lie in bed all day , depressed. Now he's up doing arts and crafts , enjoying the company of both residents and Staff , he's genuinely very happy. This wonderful team has given him his life back and I have my brother back . Well done all, we can't praise you enough.

Review of Alexander House from G C (Son of Resident) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My 91 yr old Mother fractured a lumbar vertebrae & needed some respite after a hospital stay. Alexander House provided fantastic care and helped get her back on her feet again. The staff were very attentive, patient and very professional & nothing was too much trouble. She enjoyed the daily activities which improved her mental & social status significantly. The catering is first class & she thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast lunch & dinner.
I pleased to say she is now back in her own home but we would have no hesitation in returning to Alexander House in the future if required.

Review of Alexander House from Carol B (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We are extremely impressed with Alexander Care Home, Skircoat Green, Halifax (part of the Valorum Care Group). Mum has been a resident for many years, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she is cared for by the manager and her wonderful team. The care, home-cooked meals, and cleanliness are excellent. Recently, while we were away, Mum had a fall. The staff were outstanding - arranging swift medical care, keeping us fully updated, and ensuring her recovery was smooth and stress-free.
The manager has created a warm, home-from-home atmosphere. The team are compassionate, professional, and a true credit to Valorum.

Overall Experience
My son is being cared for by the carers at StAnthonys Care Home. I have 100 per cent faith in how this home cares for my son. Every carer at the home and also the other staff who deserve a mention too. The admin team, the laundry service, the cleaners, the drivers etc etc. This is a home where everyone who works there excels at their jobs. This is Truly a Care Home full of Caring People. I feel fortunate that my son is being cared for by these amazing people. 5 Stars for every aspect of the Home. Well executed washing, no clothes going missing and other residents clothes in the drawers, as experienced in other homes. Clean tidy rooms. Fabulous food cooked by the excellent chefs. I can't think of a single thing to complain about. That's something to behold in this modern world. This is a True Caring Home.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN BIG!

Douglas House is now a near perfect home for my darling wife, who has been a resident for the last 14 years. It has own large car park. It has a pleasing aspect to the eye from the front entrance. It has large corridors that can let a wheelchair pass another, without any problem. It has large, clean and spacious rooms.(some rooms have their own shower room) It has large and spacious bathrooms. It has a beautifully kept garden with Koi Carp fishponds. It has very large communal dining room and activities room.(Excellent in house Physio who works primarily out of activities room). Also activities team. It has a wonderfully large balcony with various plant and vegetable pots. Finally it has far more importantly a manager and her team of carers who actually do care for my wife and all other residents and love their job and are exceptionally good at it.
I'm more than happy how wife beautiful wife is being cared for and would wholeheartedly recommend Douglas House as a special carehome

Review of Alexander House from Nicholas M (Husband of Resident) published on 14 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My wife has dementia & was somewhat lost & confused upon arrival at Alexander House, but within a couple of weeks she had settled down & was relaxed and cheerful thanks to the amazingly attentive, cheerful & friendly staff all of whom are incredibly professional at everything they do. The rooms are comfortable, well maintained, well ventilated, well furnished, clean & hygienic and all have an emergency call system. The food is tasty, plentiful and attractively served and professionally prepared on site by a suitably qualified cook with a wide choice for everyone each day, as well as welcome snacks also being made available between meals, (including welcoming coffee & biscuits for visitors whenever they arrive). Alexander House has a fully qualified Manager, "in post", and a Senior Member of Staff on duty at all times 24/7. They have an amazing Activities Manager who ensures that no-one is ever isolated, bored or lonely. This is a Team at the top of their Game doing an amazing job.

Review of Alexander House from Jean T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law was a bit unsettled when she first went to Alexander House but with the support and dedication of the carers soon started to enjoy being part of the family. Her bedroom was always clean and kept tidy and she always looked forward to her meals. There were always activities, painting, craftwork and dominoes to keep her busy. Sometimes they would have visits from outside venues, small animals for the residents to hold or just watch which made most days entertaining and fun. It certainly made our life a lot easier knowing she was being well cared for, so thank you everyone for doing such a great job.
