Antokol

I have no concerns over health and safety issues. The main building is secure; an electronic system requires all visitors to sign in and out. There is a safety monitor in my mother's room. Antokol communicates with me when my mother has any health issues, and asks permission for recommended treatment where necessary. The care quality is exceptional, and my mother is always well presented, and is treated with dignity. The care team always find time to spare to interact with her. Antokol invites relatives to join in with residents with various activities throughout the year, such as musical events, garden parties, and Christmas concerts where the care team join in.

Our mother has Alzheimzer's and moved into Antokol almost 6 years ago. In that time her condition has deteriorated, but the care and affection provided by the staff has remained consistently excellent. When I visit her she is always nicely dressed, her hair is styled and she is obviously happy to be there. When we visit, our family is accorded a warm welcome at all times. If there are any issues with my mother Antokol gets in touch and keeps us updated. The care home itself looks and feels more like a country house hotel with a beautiful garden. We are vey grateful to the manager and staff for all their hard work.

My Mother has been at Antakol for 18 months. She has Alzheimers dementia and needs assistance with every aspect of care. The standard of her care is excellent, the nurses and carers are efficient, thoughtful, kind and polite.

Excellent care, kind staff, home cooked food and comfortable quiet surroundings with a lovely garden. My mum is very happy there and also family members are made welcome when visiting. So pleased we moved her.

My father has been resident at Antokol since June 2021 and suffers from dementia which has increased over the years and he is now chair/bed bound. I live abroad and manage several visits every year and can see that my father receives the best possible care. What differentiates this home is the warmth and familial feeling the staff bring, and that my father is 'one of their own'. It gives me a tremendous amount of reassurance to know that he is cared for in this way. The home is spotless, has a lovely library and beautiful gardens. My father is always well presented and groomed whenever I see him and other visitors comment on this too. I can see how relaxed and comfortable he is there and he is treated with real dignity. He loves the food too, which is freshly prepared and of an excellent standard as well as enjoying the numerous trips and activities. It's a remarkable and special place that I am glad he has spent his time in. Very well run. Wonderful staff.

Antokol care home is a very well run home, where the residents are central to every decision. All staff know all the residents and their needs very well. It is a very welcoming, warmhearted and caring home. Residents are well cared for in every aspect of their needs; there are many varied activities on offer; the delicious food is all cooked on site and is adapted according to need; the property is well maintained. One of the outstanding provisions is end of life care. This is meticulously thought through so that dignity is preserved and families are supported.

My husband suffered severe stroke in January that left him both physically and mentally disabled. When he was discharged into nursing home care, we first selected another home nearby, which both he and we, his family, thought inadequate. So we then were fortunate to find a place at Antokol where he has been for the past four months. It has literally been a life saver for him, now he feels loved and well cared for by the staff who are exemplary in their professionalism and attention to all his needs. He spends much time, especially when visited, in Antokol's lovely, well tended large garden. They feed him well, occupying him whenever possible in a workshop or helping in the garden despite wheelchair bound. Residents have been taken for supper to a local pub, and will be presented with a huge and very tasty cake on their birthday. Unless his or our circumstances change dramtically he will stay at Antokol, no better place within many miles.

This is a wonderful Care Home. The care shown by all the staff towards the residents is second to none. We really enjoy coming to visit my Mother here and are made to feel very welcome by everyone. We are always kept up to date with Mum's condition and treatment

I consider myself extremely fortunate that my father had loving care and patience from all staff, as my mother is continuing to have to this day.

Our family was so impressed with the care Antikol gave our Stepmother in the last year of her life . Their kindness and respect knew no bounds . We loved the Family Atmosphere of Antikol it did not feel like a care home . We appreciated the parties thrown for the residents and their families . I would highly recommend Antikol with no hesitation for anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

I am fully satisfied with all aspects of my wife's care

I cannot recommend Antokol highly enough. From the moment my mum arrived, we felt reassured by the professionalism, warmth, and dedication of the entire team. The staff genuinely care for every resident, treating them with respect, kindness, and compassion at all times.

The facilities are immaculate - every area is clean, safe, and welcoming. My mum is always comfortable, well-cared-for, and happy, which gives me peace of mind. The activities and attention to individual needs make this more than just a nursing home; it's a community where residents truly feel valued.

I am deeply grateful for everything the staff do each day. If you are looking for a place where your loved one will receive excellent care in a safe, friendly, and clean environment, Antokol is the perfect choice.

Antokol is a wonderful, friendly and caring home, I know my mum is well looked after. There are activities every week, lots of social events and family events where we can all be together. Everything is clean and well managed and there are always fresh flowers in the rooms. The home is a little bit of Poland and gives you a real flavour of the country with the food and hospitality.

Having visited a number of care homes over the years, I continue to be amazed at just how good Antokol is. Way better than anything I have seen before. It is truly outstanding in every respect and has more of the feel of an exclusive country hotel rather than a traditional care home. The management and all the staff seem to go that extra mile in the quality of their care, catering, activities and general standards to make the residents feel at home and part of a family. My mother has been a resident here for several years and my family and I have complete confidence in the quality of care she is receiving.

Antokol consistently delivers the level of care I hoped for when choosing a care home for my mum. The staff are always well presented, welcoming and so tolerant and compassionate. Antokol has a lovely, friendly atmosphere and it really is made to feel like home. It is always spotless, the grounds are beautifully maintained and any jobs or improvements are carried out efficiently and with minimum disruption. There is always a member of the management team present, they are approachable and very willing to help. It seems to me that from the smallest detail to the serious medical care, everything is carried out to the highest professional standard and nothing is overlooked in trying to provide a comfortable, happy home for the residents.

I can't commend the home highly enough. The staff are like an extended family. The care that they provide is always delivered with appropriate dignity and respect. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Excellent communication too.

My brother, sister and I have already written reviews for Antokol which were published in December 2023. Sadly our mother passed away in June 2024. It would therefore seem fitting to leave one final review. We would like to pay tribute to Antokol for the exemplary way in which they cared for our mother during her final days and for the support they provided to us as a family. We will be eternally grateful to the team members for the kindness and compassion they genuinely showed from the day our mother entered Antokol to the day that she finally left.

For me, Antokol stands out for its amazing caring staff, homely, maintained environment and superb food. My mother feels safe and cared for, and she appreciates the little extras like the availability of an in-house hairdresser and personal fitness coach.

Antokol has again provided consistent excellence in their care and service for my mother and I have indicated as such in every category listed and this also reflects our entire family's opinion. There is always a good friendly atmosphere in the care home. The staff are professional in their roles and responsibilities and show genuine, wonderful kindness and respect for their residents. It is simply an excellent care home.

As soon as you walk through the door, you can feel the love and care. My mum and my family are blessed to be treated as part of this loving home. There is a calm as soon as you enter, and nothing is too much trouble. The residents are treated with the utmost respect regardless of the reason they are there.
