Villa Scalabrini

The Villa Scalabrini is an amazing place. The cleanliness and hygiene is impeccable. The grounds are beautiful and the food is very good. The care and kindness given to residents by all the staff, carers and management is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We were always kept informed of how things were with my mother. We couldn't fault anything and it gave us such peace of mind to know she was being well cared for.

Our mother has been happy here and being Italian speaking, staff have been a big help to our mother.

Our mothers first language is Italian and being Italian speaking, staff at Scalabrini have been a big help to our mother. She has been well looked after and would have no hesitation in recommending this place to friends and family.

I was extremely impressed with the care facilities at Villa Scalabrini today. The staff were in abundance and were very on hand. They were also very helpful and friendly. The care home was so clean that is shone like a new pin. I visited my friend in the communal tv area which was also very comfortable. A great place.

My aunt was a resident in the Villa from May 2015 until she passed away in August. Her treatment was excellent. All the staff without exception were very caring. They always had a smile and words of welcome and encouragement. My aunt felt very much at home and enjoyed the facilities and the activities offered by the Villa until April of this year when she suffered a severe stroke. Her personality changed and her behaviour could be trying but everyone continued to treat her with the greatest care, love and respect. As a regular visitor, I always felt at home and welcome. The accommodation was simple but clean, light and airy. Going there was like entering a family environment.

They possess a team of caring and dedicated staff who perform to the highest professional standards.

Safety first class.

Thank you for this wonderful loving environment.

Villa Scalabrini is a lovely care home plenty of activities, even a market in summer, friendly staff, always welcomed by all safety first class.

This is an acknowledgement of the outstanding care and support my father received in his final days at Villa Scalabrini. I also wish to document the superb end of life care provided by Villa Scalabrini. My father died on 10th March 2018. I chose to stay close to him day and night. Without the staff’s compassion, empathy, understanding and support, I would not have been able to get through the week as the whole process was truly awful. Dad was treated with great dignity and respect. Daily, the staff washed and changed him, shaved him and talked to him as they normally would have done. The Management Team visited daily to ensure that all our needs were catered for. When the doctor gave us the option of hospitalising Dad for end of life, it was only right and fitting that he should remain in his ‘home’ where he was loved and cared for in a very personal way. Apart from caring for Dad, the staff ensured that our needs were met too. We cannot thank them enough.

My mother became a resident of Villa Scalabrini (VS) in Nov 2017 following diagnosis of an incurable brain tumour. From day 1, mum was made to feel welcomed and treated with respect. At all times, the care mum received was outstanding, never more so than in the last month when she became very frail and unable to do anything independently. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and she was cared for in a way which enabled her to maintain her dignity until the very end. We consider ourselves blessed that VS had space for mum when she needed it and that she was able to spend her final months in an environment where she was safe, comfortable and cared for with love.

The home meets all my mother's needs of daily living and they are always polite, pleasant and welcoming to visitors/relatives.

I have been very, very happy here and everybody is fantastic.

We were astounded. Five stars. Priceless.

I am so glad we transferred my mother to this home and wish we had done it sooner, She had been in 2 care homes prior to coming to Villa Scalabrini in November 2017. The care, staff, atmosphere are second to none. Not only am I happy with the way my mother has settled in and is being looked after, it provides peace of mind for the family to know she is in a healthy, nurturing environment. Keep up the good work!

Villa Scalabrini provides exceptional tailored care 365 days per year - without reduction of any levels of care. Residents maintain their dignity - at all times.

Mum is finally happy after two years of being miserable and very depressed. The staff are very friendly, caring, attentive and affectionate - just what mum needed. Wish I had taken her there sooner! My husband was so pleased to see her happy, smiling and having fun again.

My mother sadly passed away in November having been at Villa Scalabrini for the last 3 years. She was wonderfully looked after by the staff there. They were extremely kind and caring, and incredibly patient with her, particularly given she suffered from Alzheimer's. We are very grateful to all the staff and management there for having made her last few years as pleasant as they could be.

Mum passed away in September. They could not have been kinder. She was in hospital for a few days before she died and management went to see her. Mums passing has been so much easier knowing that she was happy in the home.

I highly recommend this home.
