Review from Teresa C (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was transferred to St Vincents House when discharged from hospital and it became evident she needed more care than we could provide at home. We chose St Vincents House based on a visit, reading reviews and the CQC report. My mother and the family were welcomed and although we were all heartbroken
at not being able to keep her at home, the care shown by the staff reassured us and they were mindful at how difficult we found the transition. There have been a few minor issues but they are usually dealt with quickly. There is a great range of activities for the residents and the staff always encourage the residents to take part. Since my mother has been there we have had two family celebrations and on both occasions one staff member in particular and their team have gone above and beyond to make these special. There is always someone on reception to welcome us when we visit.

My mother has been a resident at St. Vincents House Care Home for the last seven weeks, I could not have asked for a better place for her to stay, on arrival, you are always greeted with a warm welcome from reception.
All the staff (every single one of them) I have meet are caring, professional and
kind to myself, family and my mother, her room is spotless, clean and tidy, her clothes always washed and ironed, hanging in her wardrobe, mum is always clean and beautifully turned out, mum had lost a lot of weight due to a stay in hospital, since being in St. Vincents she has now started to eat more and is gaining weight, the staff are very patient with her and make sure she's eating and drinking enough. The entertainment and activities, well what can I say, the resident's love it, (me included) I've never seen so many happy smiling faces in one room, everyone signing along to the music, it's great, thank you so much, mum loves a sing song. Big thank you to all at St. Vincents.

My husband was looked after with kindness and sensitivity. I, too, was cared for in the last days of my husband’s life, with meals provided for me and my family. We all have good memories of the staff who supported us and felt they were not only carers but friends.

My mum, who has dementia, settled in quickly. The management and daily staff are exceptionally caring and professional. They are aware of what she likes, and the daily activities are very much enjoyed by Mum and the residents.
The building is well-maintained. There are various activity rooms and a
delightful garden. Her private room is an adequate size with an en-suite bathroom. The building is in a fantastic location with riverside restaurants and cafes literally within a few minutes walk.

Service at the home is satisfactory to good as usual. Only one ongoing problem remains in the room toilet, which is the actual toilet lid keeps falling down and won't stay up. This has been a problem for a long while and needs fixing.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at St Vincents House

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review for St Vincent's House, and for your comments regarding the service at the home. We would also like to thank you for your positive scores for the care and support we deliver, as well as your overall experience. We have reviewed the toilet seat with maintenance and housekeeping and although the seat is old, it remains robust and stayed up during our inspection. We would like to assure you that this will still be dealt with and replaced to ensure ease of use going forward.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For six months, my loved one was in St Vincents care home. Whilst he has dementia (onset), he was also end of life patient. It has been an experience and privilege for me to spend so much time at the care home. The medical staff/carers (really all staff) there showed me what it means, always remembering
it's the illness that's the issue - not the man or woman in front of them. The caring, professional, kind, thoughtful staff here doing demanding, even exhausting work. Their unconditional love, their tender approach with patience, entering into their world and never giving up. The lovely cup of tea by humorous staff, their smiles would help me cope when end of life came two weeks ago. The professionalism, caring, thoughtful, considerate carers made my journey simpler. Thanks to all at St Vincents House care home.

My mother was admitted for short-term respite care and immediately there are issues with unfriendly management. They call the police unnecessarily. The Resident was not given any right to just cancel service and leave. Mobile phone lost and can’t be found, yet not even added to the inventory list.

My partner has been at St Vincents for approximately three years. When she was at the hospital, the team looking after asked me to check out St Vincents for suitability. I liked the home. She was transferred there shortly after. I'm very happy with the care home. The right choice was made.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having not visited my sister for 18-months (pandemic related), my wife and I arrived at St Vincents with more than a little trepidation, after the many horror stories out there in this new world of social media. We shouldn’t have worried. The check-in process was simple, well managed and efficient.
My sister was as well as we could have expected. Her room was clean and tidy, but her hoarding instincts were still evident! Nonetheless, her room was bright and cheerful with a fine view over a garden and skyline.
What really struck me was how friendly, professional and full of cheer every member of staff was that we met. Clearly, this is not an easy job by any stretch of the imagination, but even if they were under stress, pressure or overworked, they didn’t show it. My sister, like many residents, struggle with confinement, loss of freedom and social interaction. It seemed like St Vincents staff were doing their best to make life a little more pleasant and tolerable.

We had a lovely tea for Mum today, and the staff made it an extra special time by dressing for the occasion, singing along to some of Mum's favourite songs, arranging for a cream tea and just making her time, a lovely memory. Mum was treated like the Queen she is and was even bought a crown by one of
the carers. Carers here never fail to make her (my mummy) feel loved. Thank you.

My family and I are delighted with the care and attention given to my husband at St Vincents. He likes the staff and he likes the food. To quote my husband, "they offer to help you, you don't have to ask". With my husband's many serious illnesses, St Vincents really has been a Godsend. Thank you all.

The location of St Vincents is close to Mum's previous address. The building itself was put together in such a special construction. The layout - internally has been well thought out with all spaced used very well. St Vincents security is undoubtedly paramount sufficient being constructing in any way.
Every staff member is immaculately turned out in appearance. The summer garden party I tended was a very special afternoon, I will remember always. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle, who sadly passed away the end of December 2020 aged 85, had the luxury of spending his last three months at St Vincents House. He was a very private man and had lived in the Hammersmith area for 38-years in a room in a house he shared. His health declined quite considerably middle part of
2020, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, a rapid declining type of dementia. It was obvious, he could not return home, so he was accepted at St Vincents. From the very first moment he was admitted, both the admin team and the nursing team kept myself and my mother informed daily whilst he settled in. My uncle was a very difficult person to look after due to his condition, and so the nursing team provided ongoing updates as to his progress, almost on a daily basis. I cannot praise the staff enough for how they attended to his needs during this time and involved the visiting GP in our updates. I would not hesitate to recommend this home at all for any family member.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for St Vincents House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.855 for St Vincents House is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.855
  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 St Vincents House is based on 20 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 92 registered maximum number of service users is 18.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
