At all levels, from management to the care staff, there is a wealth of experience & knowledge relating to care for the older person. No request is too difficult & I feel reassured that my mum is in safe hands.
Thank you so much for your kind review of Vesta Lodge. We're so pleased that you and your mother are happy with the home and the care that is being provided there. Reviews like this one mean a great deal to the staff in the home.

The home is so clean and tidy. It really is home from home for my Mom and I appreciate everything that gets done for her. She has an amazing room which we have decorated with memorabilia and she has a lovely en-suite bathroom. There is also a new permanent Manager who is fantastic and so involved and you can feel such a calm over residents and staff since he arrived. Thank you all.

My mother is generally happy in the home but has experienced a couple of unfortunate circumstances where other patients have wandered into her room at night and scared her, raising her anxiety...
When she first moved into the home we were also told that there were regular outside trips organised but this hasn't been the case.
Thank you for your feedback and for your kind comments about our team. Were sorry to hear about your mothers recent experiences and understand your concerns regarding both night-time disturbances and activities. Our Home Manager has been in touch with you to discuss these matters directly, and we will continue working closely with you to ensure your mother feels safe, supported and engaged.

My dad has recently moved into Vesta Lodge from extra care housing. Dad had been struggling with his dementia symptoms living in extra care housing and needs more help which is what brought us to Vesta Lodge.
I can't speak highly enough about Vesta Lodge. When dad moved in, we visited him after he had been there for just a couple of days and he looked relaxed, happy and brighter than he had done in a long time. I could tell that he has now started sleeping much better, his face has more colour in it and he looks far more energised than he did before. We visit him regularly and every time we go, dad is happy and in a cheerful mood.
Dad enjoys the activities and the company of the other residents and carers. The care staff are so kind. There are enough carers for the number of residents.
Thank you so much to Ivan the Care Home Manager and the whole team for all of their kindness and care for dad

Mum was at Vesta Lodge in St. Albans for almost three years with Dementia in the Willow area. I was very happy with her care. She always had a smile on her face which says something about mum but also about the care she received. It's not easy to place a loved one into a care home but the staff were wonderful. When she passed you could tell the affection they had for her. Thank you Vesta.

We recently enjoyed a lovely Dinner Party, arranged for residents and their families, prepared by the catering team. It was a fun evening, and the staff had gone to a lot of trouble to decorate the room and ensure everyone had a great time.
It warms our hearts to receive such positive feedback! We strive to create a supportive and enriching environment where our residents can thrive.

The home manager and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do, deliver amazing care and make everyone feel welcome. My mum initially came to Vesta Lodge for 2 weeks respite and it was decided it's in her best interests to stay permanently as she needs more care than can be provided at home. Mum attends the Q club daily and as a result she's a lot brighter and talkative when anyone visits her. If you are looking for a caring place to put a loved one for a short stay or a more permanent take a look around you will not be disappointed.
We truly appreciate your positive feedback! Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that every resident receives the highest quality of care and attention.
With the care industry...
With the care industry in such a precarious position it is good to know that Vesta Lodge is here to look after those in our society who cannot fend for themselves and that their work continues to benefit families such as ours.
Your words mean everything to us! Providing compassionate care to each of our loved ones and their families is at the core of what we do. Your mother will be dearly missed.

Our Dad, who has Dementia, moved into Vesta Lodge St Albans at the start of February 2024. My family and I have been very happy with the care and support received during a stressful time. The care home manager in particular was extremely supportive and understanding for us, which helped us through the initial stages of transitioning Dad into full-time care. The rooms, are well equipped and are bright and airy. The cleanliness is very good and the team make a big effort to get to know Dad and us as a family. My Mum is now able to sit and talk with Dad, and he is now responding positively back to her, something which was a challenge prior. Dad is kept clean and tidy, and the care provided is professional. We would highly recommend Vesta Lodge.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! Hearing that our home has made a positive impact on your Dad means the world to us!

Vesta Lodge was always clean and decorated according to the season. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Providing exceptional care and support to our residents and families is our top priority, and we're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with us. Have a great day!
There is...
The staff will keep me informed of any significant events and facilitate daily phone calls for Mum as she is unable to use a mobile. They will manage most issues, and this gives us a break, which is a real help to then be able to continue to support and care for my mother at home. Thanks also to the adult care services.
Thank you for your comment. Vesta Lodge is always delighted to have your Mother stay with us. Wishing you a wonderful day!
Everything is quite satisfactory, apart from the cleanliness of the individual room, we have to wipe down the table and chair at least twice a week. The staff are efficient in every other aspect, this includes the office staff.

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Managers will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to provide the best of everything for their residents.
