A month into my father's stay at St Anthony's there was a positive change in his demeanor. He looked happy, confident and visibly healthier. This reflects the overall setting of St Anthony's in Watford, where staff were prompt and caring towards any concerns I may have. This medication and various health checks are met dutifully by the staff who update me before and after his appointments. My father's feelings towards his stay were positive, stating that "they look after me that's for sure" "I have three square meals" "I have proper people looking after me, that's my main concern" "if I'm sick they really look after me".
Dear family member,
I am pleased you are content with the care your father is receiving here at St. Anthony. Thank you.Regards

I was hesitant about mum having to go into a home, but I needn't have worried, she has been here for several months now and when I visit her she seems very happy. Mum likes the food and the staff. I myself think that the staff and management do a wonderful job, they are very caring, friendly and treat the residents and visiting family with kindness and respect. The home itself isn't a modern property but it is very homely and clean with very good facilities and activities. Overall I am glad that I chose this care home over more larger home where I don't think mum would be happy.

Over last year I visited many care home with plentiful facilities, en suite bedrooms, many large lounges, cinema, coffee bars and cakes and an army of carers. So when I first visited St Anthonys I was disappointed to find none of the above. How wrong I was, St Anthonys is like a second family, and mum could not be happier. We know the carers and managers well and they do an amazing job of really caring. They go the extra mile. I live abroad so they regularly send me photos and videos. Mum really enjoys the food, the type she is used to. And I am so glad that we did not choose one of the large modern homes where she probably would have been anonymous.
Hi,
Thank you, for your comments. It shows how much you appreciate your mum being here at St. Antony Residential Home.Regards

The care and attention my brother received for the duration of his stay at St Anthony's was, in my opinion, second to none. The staff have always been courteous, attentive and very caring. I would have no qualms about recommending St Anthony's to anyone.
