St Vincent House Residential Home

Have only been in the room to visits, so have to judge everywhere by that one room; however, it's lovely. Can't judge the food etc, as I don't go in.

We chose St Vincent House as a care home for my father as our research had highlighted that they are specialists in dementia care. He became a resident in June 20 when he was in the final stages of Alzheimer's Disease. The COVID restrictions meant I could not enter the home, despite this, I feel every effort was made by the staff to support my father and provide the care he required. The staff did their utmost to facilitate visits within the Government guidelines, and we were able to see him once a week through the window. During these visits, the staff were always attentive and caring, and my father responded well to them. My father sadly passed away in August, thankfully the staff understood the situation and we were admitted to a specially prepared room to say our goodbyes to him. Although my father's stay at St Vincent's was only for a couple of months, I would not hesitate to recommend them; they are caring, considerate, approachable and professional.

I cannot recommend the facilities and care here highly enough, and would like to thank all the management and staff for their ongoing love and devotion to their resident's needs.

There was nothing too much trouble. The staff are exceptional at this most difficult time, unable to comment on the running of the home, but my mum's final days were dignified and the staff at St Vincent showed how much they thought of mum, gave her hugs when I could not. Thank you to the senior staff for the last day, forever grateful.

Mum has been in St Vincent House for 3 1/2 years. She is very happy and very settled there. She is always happy, laughing and smiling when we see her. During a period of serious illness earlier this year, she could not have better looked after. She recovered and continues to be exceptionally well looked after. The staff are truly remarkable selfless people. They treat the residents like family and throughout this incredibly difficult time, they continue to look after everyone. Communication about the situation is impeccable, very informative and compassionate. I would like to thank each and every one of the staff for all they are doing. I would definitely recommend the care home to friends and family for their loved ones.

On my father’s passing, I realised that my mothers' dementia illness required specialist carers. St Vincent House, Gosport, with its lush, big garden and colourful, open lounges where light pours in through huge windows, became the obvious choice. I visited many other homes, this was the only one I would compare to a hotel. The immense light and fresh smell of clean linen hit you as you walk into the old, naval mansion. The smell of wholesome meals is mouthwatering. My mothers' room and en-suite are lovely and always highly cleaned. The manager/carers greet you warmly whilst efficiently bustling around to meet individual residents’ needs. The events manager has set up art, music (e.g. an impersonator), chair exercises etc, to entertain and gently challenge the residents, so slowing the further progress of a cruel illness. The amazing team have risked their lives, working ardently on the frontline with the statistically most vulnerable group, dementia sufferers. Thank you so much.

I am extremely happy with the care and support my father receives. The staff are warm and friendly, and the management is always available and contactable. In my opinion, the staff treat my father as family, and nothing is too much trouble. My father is very happy, and I would absolutely recommend this care home.

I can’t speak too highly of St Vincent House.

My gran has been at St Vincent for the past 14-months, she is well looked after and always has a big smile on her face, though at this extremely hard time not being able to see her, the staff have been amazing I cannot thank them enough for their excellent support for both residents and family. We are regularly updated, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Personnel within the care home are communicative and loving. Management listens to and action comments and input.

All the friendly staff take great care of my Gran. She has dementia and needs lots of support with routine day-to-day activities. We regularly visit and always feel very welcomed and comfortable. It is so reassuring to know that Gran is safe and well cared for.

My mother has been a resident of St Vincent House Residential Home for 2 years. We could not be happier with the care she is receiving. Both the management and staff are very helpful and caring.

The staff are really lovely and caring. The food is wonderful. The home is very clean.

I live approx 200 miles away and can only visit my mother every few months. Every time I am welcomed by happy cheerful staff and the place is lovely. My mother is always dressed lovely and clean. She has dementia and unable to do anything for herself. My father goes to visit her every day and all the staff have been amazing towards him and mum. I would recommend the home to anyone looking. (5 stars from me excellent). The staff go above and beyond nothing is too much trouble.

When I was looking for a care home for my wife who has dementia, I looking at 6 points. Are you made welcome at the home by all staff, cleanliness, smell, safety, food and are the staff loving and caring to all residents, which I saw they were. My wife is 86 and has been at St Vincent for the last 2 and a half years. She is well looked after and cared for by all staff. They have different activities on most days of the week. Where would we be without these wonderful caring people. I would recommend this home to anyone. It's good value for money.

My uncle received the highest standard of care during his 2 years at St Vincent House. Sadly, he had been diagnosed with dementia a few years previous and he was no longer able to look after himself. The carers were very attentive and genuinely kind, the management team were very helpful, efficient and professional at all times. The decor of the home was of a high standard, the rooms were light and airy and the cleanliness was second to none. I would often join my uncle for Sunday dinner which was always delicious! My uncle sadly passed away a few weeks ago, the carers were very sensitive and compassionate, enabling my uncle to pass away peacefully in a dignified way, surrounded by people who loved him.
