Review from Z R (Relative of Resident) published on 20 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited to see a loved one and was welcomed by the staff who were very attentive and ensured we had drinks including our toddler. It was a relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Puddings looked amazing.
My loved one's room was clean and tidy and I could see activities in the main lounge as we visited.


Overall experience of Victoria Hous was pleasant and friendly. Staff were helpful, courteous and respectful to residents. We heard lots of laughter throughout and could see staff spending time with residents. We were treated as guests but made to feel at home. Victoria house is always clean and welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble.

My mother has been in Victoria House for over a year now and I visit most days. It's a very happy place and all the staff are so caring and kind, nothing is too much trouble, I've seen the loving care the residents experience first hand.
The home has regular entertainment and also visits from dogs
and guinea pigs and even donkeys!
The food is superb.
I highly recommend Victoria House to anyone looking for high quality care for their relatives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Came to the home to visit a friend just before Christmas. The home was nicely decorated and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
We were offered tea or coffee.
Our friend was well looked after, was happy, and had a very good rapport with the staff who were very attentive. It truly felt
like a home from home.
Although we visited in her room, you have to walk past the residents lounge and they all seemed to be engaged with the activity and happy.

My Mother-in-law became a resident in December 2024, and we have seen a massive change in her since she has been at Victoria Lodge back to being herself. The care she receives is above and beyond. A lovely home and has lovely staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother received almost three months of first-class, genuinely human, good-humoured care from the Victorian House team. The management was always quick to respond to my enquiries (I live outside the UK) regarding my mother's progress in recovering from a stroke, bad shoulder fractures, and long immobilization
in hospital. They were also great at coordinating visits and ongoing treatment from NHS medical and physiotherapy staff. Strongly recommended.

Review from Sophie C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 26 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
What an absolute disgrace of a care home, how they have treated my nan should feel ashamed of themselves!
Money stolen, workers shouting in her face! Kicking her out and trying to send her into a hospital so you don't have to have her at your home when she is not sick. Taking a woman who is 87 out
of her home to be stuck in a hospital for months so then they can reject her coming back! No transport made for her to go into her new care home, so lucky my nan has the family she does!
Place needs investigating! Elders deserve respect, dignity, and attentive care, but unfortunately, that is not what we've experienced here!
Reply from Operations Manager at Victoria House

The allegations you make are unfounded, as discussed with your family. Due to this being posted publicly we have responded generally.
Money: Victoria House (VH) policy is that any money left in VH is held by the office for safe keeping. Residents and their family are made aware of this policy. VH cannot take responsibility for money that was left in contradiction of VH policy.
VH Staff: VH staff are well trained and every resident is dealt with dignity and respect. There is no evidence that VH staff have been shouting at residents.
Kicking her out: Sometimes a resident's needs advance and we are unable to continue to support them. When that occurs the local authority is involved to find a new placement. Whilst waiting for a new placement VH offers support to the resident including involving other health professionals.
Transport: Transport is offered to residents when moving if suitable transport is available. If suitable transport is unavailable the resident's family are told in advance to arrange external transport.
Service Quality: VH regularly arranges external inspections of the service to ensure compliance and a quality service. This involves discussions with residents, families and staff. The latest inspection (Sept 24) found VH to be 'Good' bordering on 'Outstanding'. VH is confident in the quality of the service and welcome any inspection by CQC or local authority.

Wonderful home which looked after my mum and mother-in-law over many years. They were both very happy there. The staff were very caring, dedicated and compassionate. I cannot recommend it too highly. I would be happy to be there when the time comes.

I was very reluctant to have my husband go into care as I had cared for him it was not what we wanted. But circumstances changed this. The care and kindness shown to us have been wonderful. All the staff have been so helpful! I would recommend Victoria House to anyone. In fact, if I need care that's
where I shall go. Thank you all.

My father has settled in very well and enjoys the company and security provided by the staff. I'm very pleased we found Victoria House. He has a pleasant room, enjoys the food and there is a homely atmosphere. The staff have shown they understand his needs, likes and dislikes and adapted accordingly.
Nothing is too much trouble.

My husband spent the last six months of his life at Victoria House Care Home. He had previously spent six months in another home and he was not treated well. At Victoria House he was happy and he was treated with respect. All the staff were wonderful and my husband was comfortable and happy there. (2021-2022)
I
also spent two weeks of respite care at Victoria House. I was treated very well and was happy. One minor detail, some of the furniture needs updating.

The staff are very caring, friendly and cheerful. There is a lovely dining room with fresh flowers and an excellent choice of food for every meal. There is live entertainment every month, arts and crafts, etc, and a hairdresser and chiropodist come in regularly. Victoria House is very well managed,
and relatives are kept well informed.

Victoria House is a very homely care home. I have found the managers and carers to be caring and very professional. They have done a great job keeping covid out of the home under difficult times. My relative is often praising their kindness, nice food, and enjoyable entertainment. I hope the home will
continue to be a great place to work and live for all involved.

Because of the covid, we were unable to visit my aunt. The travel was difficult. We were only allowed 1 hour so by the time we would get there it would be time to travel home, but we understood. The home always gave feedback of any change.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has been in care since January 21, we moved him to Victoria House from another care home on the island in August 21. The move was made because we live in Ryde and it's easier for us to visit him there, but we also had concerns that he was spending too much time on his own in the previous home
and he was becoming very withdrawn. Almost immediately after the move we noticed an improvement in his well-being and his engagement with us. Victoria House has a lovely 'homely' feel to it and the residents are treated as part of the 'family' by the staff. From what I have seen there is a lot of interaction between the staff and the residents.
No one really wants their elderly relative to have to live 'in care' but I am very grateful that we found Victoria House. I am confident that he is now receiving a very good level of care, is being well looked after and is made as comfortable as it's possible to be in that situation.
I have no hesitation in recommending Victoria House.

My mother was very well taken care of in Victoria House care home from November 2019 to July 2021. She was very pleased to take part in all the art and craft sessions as she has previously done many oil paintings. She enjoyed the different foods on offer and especially liked the view out over the Solent
from her room. The staff offered care, support and friendship and she received good health care through various illnesses. This is a home from home with resident consideration at all times.

A good all-round, very nice and caring place for my mum. Initially, the cost was a bit of a surprise, but after looking around, you can't get any better. It's handy and as I've said, very good.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) out of 10 for Victoria House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.407 for Victoria House is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.407
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Victoria House is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
