Mum has been living with altzheimers for several years. Mum came to St Vincents House Southsea for respite in October 2025 while I went to Cyprus for a week. When we came back mum had settled in very well and it seemed unnecessary to move her back to her home, where she had become confused and very anxious. I have had a very long connection with Sharon the activities organiser, as I used to bring my school choir there each term. The staff are very professional, friendly and patient and St Vincents has a lovely feel about it.
As a family we would like to send a heartfelt thanks for the wonderful care the team at St Vincents, Southsea have given dad over the 3 years he was there 2022 to 2025. Knowing he was looked after with kindness, dignity and patience has meant so much to us as a family.

My father lived at St Vincent Care Home from July 2023 until his recent death in September 2025. During his time there he was settled and content. My father had various medical conditions and throughout that time, he never needed to attend hospital as staff were so attentive and responsive to any changes 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.

My mum has been a resident since November 2023. The care she receives is exemplary from all the staff. Due to her dementia she took a while to settle but was shown kindness and compassion and loves living here now. She needs persuading to join in activities but Sharon works her magic and it is wonderful 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.

I recently volunteered at St Vincent House, Southsea, and I have to write this review to make sure everybody knows how special it is. All of the staff, from administrators to chefs and, of course, carers, pay special attention to each resident and their individual needs. I was impressed by the...
I witnessed the care taken in looking after each resident in their rooms, and at mealtimes, every carer demonstrated great empathy and respect for each individual, cheerfully engaging them as much as possible and making sure they retained their independence, only stepping in where necessary. I would put my family here; they are an amazing team doing a great job (and should be better paid!).
Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to the team that people do see the lengths they go to to enhance the lives of the people that live in St Vincent House, Southsea.

My mum has called St Vincent House, Southsea her home for the last six years. During that time, she has received 5-star care and attention. Her room is lovely and clean, as is the whole residence, and being on the seafront has lovely sea views across the Solent. The staff are simply wonderful with friendly smiles and greetings; they all create a lovely home environment for the residents. My mum is nearing the end of her journey and needs full-time 24-hour care. She is always washed and dressed, spotlessly clean, and treated with love, respect and the dignity she deserves. I would not hesitate to highly recommend St Vincent, Southsea.

Throughout the pandemic, staff were kind and patient assisting Mum with regular FaceTime calls. Now always made welcome on visits, and the house has a homely and friendly atmosphere. We are grateful for regular updates and a newsletter with photos of activities. Observed all grades of staff from the caring staff, kitchen staff, activities staff and office staff interacting well with all the residents. Mum always appears well cared for and smartly dressed. Staff always have a joke with Mum on returning to the home from outings with the family making her feel very welcome in her home.

With over 20 years of experience in adult health and social care, I have built a strong and rewarding career dedicated to supporting others. I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Adult Care and an NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management in Adult Care, reflecting my commitment to continuous professional development and high-quality care.
During my career, I took time away from working in care homes to focus on raising my four children, while continuing to contribute to adult social care within a safeguarding team. This experience further strengthened my passion for protecting and enhancing the well-being of vulnerable individuals.
I am delighted to be part of the St Vincent family, where I am committed to supporting people in their daily lives through person-centred care and meaningful, enriching activities. I feel incredibly privileged to do the work I love and to make a positive difference every day.
At St Vincent House, I pride myself on being approachable—my door is always open for a coffee and a chat. I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and support residents, their families, and the dedicated staff team. It’s an exciting time to be part of such a supportive and caring environment, and I am eager to contribute to the next chapter of this wonderful home.

Neil has worked at St Vincent House for 16 years and looks forward to many more.
Neil is 61 years old and uses his life experiences to reminisce with people and be an excellent companion for those who live at St Vincent House, often supporting people to maintain contact with overseas and long-distance family members and friends and going out for walks and for coffee's on a 1:1 basis to ensure people feel valued.
He is Portsmouth Football Club Fanatic and always happy to chat football with those who will listen.
Neil's main responsibilities are admin based but he always states that the most rewarding part of his job is interacting with the residents and trying to make their days better in whatever way he can.
Neil has what has often been termed a Dad sense of humour and he doesn't mind that sometimes (more often than not) he is the only one laughing at his own jokes.
The three things Neil would like people to associate him with are kindness, happiness and sarcasm - the sarcasm just comes naturally and most people especially enjoy this part of his personality.
