Villa Scalabrini

I would recommend the home unreservedly to other families requiring care for their loved ones.

My mother recently celebrated her 97th birthday as a fairly new resident of Villa Scalabrini. As a wide spread family we wanted to come together from UK and Abroad to celebrate her birthday. The staff of the Villa Scalabrini, arranged a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get together in a private dining room to eat lunch together and to celebrate a 97th birthday. We could not have asked for more, It was a lovely dining room that opened out onto a balcony. We chose in advance from the menu available to the residents for that day, Everyone was delighted with the menu options and the quality and taste of the lunch that we had. Confirming everything that everyone has ever said about the food at the Villa Scalabrini. As a family, We are all so happy that mother was able to secure residency at the Villa Scalabrini. General Care and support to residents and their families is second to none. Thank you everyone.

Our Mother was recently taken seriously ill at Villa Scalabrini and had to be admitted to hospital. The staff at Villa were amazing. They were very swift to respond to mum, calling the paramedics, informing us straightaway, sending a carer to go with her in the ambulance and wait with her until we arrived at the hospital. In addition to this, while she was recovering in hospital a carer was sent every day to visit mum for an hour, even bringing Villa cooked food. Seeing the carers brightened her day. She was thrilled to see the carers with whom she has built a trusting relationship with and she couldn't wait to return to Villa once she got better. Villa Scalabrini really cares for their residents and goes above and beyond to make them feel valued and loved. I can thoroughly recommend Villa Scalabrini as truly an excellent care home.

I am so happy my mother spent her final two years of her life in villa scalabrini. It gave her a new lease for life. The staff felt more like friends to her, always so kind and nothing was too much trouble. She loved all the activities, morning mass, day trips and sitting in the beautiful garden eating ice-cream in the summer, while singing old Italian songs. After a stay in hospital she went back to villa scalabrini very poorly, the staffs care was outstanding, they got her walking again and their constant interaction enabled her delirium to pass. In the final two months of her life they cared for her with such dignity and love, they were also a great support to me. I will be forever grateful to them all

My father was at Villa Scalabrini for just over a year, we knew that Villa Scalabrini would be the right place for him as my aunt had been a resident many years ago. The warm and caring ethos of the staff, enabled my father to settle in quickly. The home provided a range of activities and I know that my father enjoyed participating in them, enabling to form bonds with the staff and residents. My father was always well cared for and looked clean and tidy, the staff keep the home spotless. Unfortunately, when our father became unwell the staff were proactive in contacting the family and taking appropriate action, even accompanying him to hospital. Living a far distance from London it was reassuring to know that the staff at Villa Scalabrini were taking excellent care of our dad.

The wonderful kindness, professionalism and friendliness of the staff at Villa Scalabrini has been a source of great comfort while my mother has been living there. She is always extremely well cared for, and has been very happy throughout her stay. A clear focus on providing the highest possible quality of care together with a happy, positive and helpful atmosphere has been consistently evident from staff members at all levels. The cleanliness of the home, general organsation and quality of the food are also excellent.

And overall I was very glad that my mother spent her last years at Villa Scalabrini.

From her personal care to the Maintanece staff they were brilliant .

Villa Scalabrini doesn't employ agency staff and many staff are long standing. They know each resident and all their complexities well. They are wonderful. I believe the staff have a deep seated sense of care and respect towards residents and human life in general which would be difficult to replicate. I am not sure whether it's cultural or from a sense of faith but definitely there is something very genuine about the care. Seeing my mother happy at Villa Scalabrini has filled me with joy. It's a very uplifting place.

I felt the full impact of the delicate care, devotion and consideration of the exemplary staff at Villa Scalabrini during my relative's final hours. They followed my wishes to be with her as long as I wanted and they were on hand to provide whatever was necessary; I didn't have to ask - they sensed my needs to say goodbye in my way. I will never forget the immense kindness of these professionals. Their skills at such a crucial time were second to none!

Villa Scalabrini provides excellent care to residents. The staff are caring and attentive. The home has recently benefited from redecoration which makes the main living areas much more homely. Communication with the team is very good.

Thank you Villa Scalabrini.

Both my parents were taken into care at Villa Scalabrini on 27th April 2021 due to both of them having dementia, the care and understanding they were given was outstanding. I cannot praise enough how dedicated, patient and hardworking the carers and all the staff and management members are. I am truly grateful to everybody for all they have done for the palliative care of my very elderly parents. Now that my parents have passed away, I wish the continual success of Villa Scalabrini. Without their care and knowledge I would not have been able to cope with this situation physically or mentally.

My sister has been with the Villa Scalabrini for 4 years now, as was my mother who recently passed away. Care from all staff for all aspects has been wonderful. They continue to look after my sister's needs, she has learning disabilities with great care and support since my mother's passing.

I have no hesitation in recommending this home, the whole team are absolutely exceptional, I can feel at ease that Mum has all the care she needs. Thank you all, I wouldn't want Mum to be anywhere else.

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Villa Scalabrini. Our aunt is a resident there and we live overseas so it was important for us to feel that she was in a place that treated her well in our absence. Our visits at Scalabrini were always a positive experience and reassuring that we were leaving her with compassionate and caring people. The common areas are big, bright, the outdoor area is beautiful, the staff is always pleasant. We could tell that our aunt was treated very well, knowing she was in an Italian-speaking environment was such a comfort to her and to us. Many thanks to the caregiving team and also to the administrative staff who were always so helpful.

My mother has been a resident of Villa Scalabrini for over nine years. Very sadly, she passed away on the 10th of April 2024. She had been living with Alzheimer's. During her stay at Villa Scalabrini, she received the most fantastic care. The staff are so kind and always treated her with the utmost respect and dignity. Because of this my mother was very happy at Villa Scalabrini and thought of it as her home. Even during her last moments the staff were caring and compassionate. This is truly an excellent care home.

Villa Scalabrini has a mix of people taking very good care of me while giving me plenty of choice regarding what activities I choose to join in with. The medical care is very precise, done with real affection. The food is roughly 4-star quality, delivered without undue fuss. My accommodation is a 2 room with shower, very comfortable, with (optional) TV and settee.

Very happy with all aspects of Villa Scalabrini. The place is spotless and the staff are wonderful. The management work very hard to maintain excellent standards. The food is freshly prepared. The activities are varied and fun with much music (often live) and laughter. Highly recommend.
