Overall Experience

My husband has been at St Vincent House care home for 3 years now. The staff are all exceptional. They are kind, patient, caring people who have looked after my husband and made him feel very welcome. The meals etc are top class and the place is clean and very well looked after. They celebrate all the

important dates throughout the year and get the residents to make decorations etc to hang around the home. My husband is very happy there and that means the world to me and our sons.

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.

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident of St Vincent's for the last 5 months.
I can honestly say I am bowled over with the support and care the staff not only give to my dad but to the whole family. Nothing is too much trouble and as a nurse myself I am so impressed with care and dedication of all the staff.

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.

Overall Experience

My father is a dementia sufferer and has only recently moved into a care setting. This has been difficult for him and our mum. Both of them have been made to welcome and the staff are always willing to do whatever it takes to answer their questions and give reassurance.
Our dad is quite poorly and

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.

Thank you for your kind words, I will pass this on to the staff. We love helping families spend time together, and it makes us very happy to see your mum enjoying her visits with your dad.

Overall Experience

My husband has lived in St Vincent House for six months now and from day one he has been cared for with love, dignity and compassion. I have visited him during every part of the day and into the night and have witnessed their continuity of this care. The management and staff were so supportive to to

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sian M (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother spent 18 very happy months in St Vincent's and I never regretted my choice of residential home for her. From the outset the staff were helpful and friendly, doing all they could to help Mum settle in, including allowing her pictures and ornaments from home. St Vincent's is a relatively small

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.

Overall Experience

One of the most difficult things to do is accept and find a residential care home for your relative. As a family we spent a long time looking for the right place. I found St Vincent's staff very sympathetic, helpful and always put the care of my relative first but always there for the family giving

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.

Review from David J (Son of Resident) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

St Vincent House is genuinely an exceptional residential care home that I can't recommend enough. I selected this care home for my father after he had a fall at home and a lengthy stay in hospital, which resulted in him being unable to return home. Having viewed several care homes in Gosport, and having

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.

My mum has been in St Vincent Care Home since the end of July. She was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago, and the care home was absolutely brilliant at informing me. The welcome they gave my mum on her return home was so lovely. My mum was so touched by it; it meant so much to her. Whenever I go

in, the staff are fabulous; they are so friendly, and I can see they really care. I am over the moon that I was able to get my mum into this care home. I cannot thank the staff enough; they are absolutely brilliant.

Overall Experience

My father and I understand and are grateful for the stringent Covid 19 testing of residents, staff and visitors, in order to keep all safe. We also understand staff well-being is as important as for that of the residents. My father is always grateful for the welcome care he receives, he has come to

know staff by name and has full mental capacity, he has formed working relationships which sustain him and are important to him on a daily basis, he cares about the well-being of staff. I am especially grateful for the impressive intervention on Saturday evening when my father was feeling unwell, a nurse arriving at just gone midnight with a duty doctor on the screen, can’t get better than that! Happily, it is nothing serious, I appreciate the attention to detail. The Management Team and the Staff are of the excellent category. They have excelled over the long and unexpected period of time under Covid 19 conditions in keeping all residents safe, in the St Vincent House family. Thank you.

Review from Beverley C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother, who has dementia, was admitted here on 6th April having recently undergone a repair to her broken hip. The transformation from the hospital to this home was completed by staff at St Vincent, all done smoothly and efficiently. It would appear (from the few times I have met my mother) that

she is quite contented and very happy in here walking about with her Zimmer frame, she likes her room, the food is good (so she tells me). Due to Covid-19 restrictions, obviously, I haven't been able to visit the inside of the home and see her room, however, in the photos I've seen the home is bright and airy. I've never had a problem with communication, emails are always answered promptly and phone call requests are always adhered to. They allow me to speak to her on the phone if visits are all booked. She has gained weight since being admitted here. She is encouraged to join in the planned activities. The staff informed me she is a "delight and doing well". I'm happy, she's safe 24/7 and well cared for.
