The staff are so friendly and professional and take such good care of my Mom. The food she gets and the events that are organised are brilliant and she often comments on them. 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.

The staff are excellent and try their best in what is obviously a difficult environment to work in.
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
levels.
Her main complaint is the lack of activities. When she first moved into the home there was an activity every day such as playing bingo or snakes and ladders or skittles. However, in the last few months she says this has changed and there is only the odd day where there is a half hour activity. On more than one occasion she has just been given a word search paper to complete as an activity.
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.

I cannot express how happy we are since we found the Vesta Lodge care Home. Starting with the Home manager Ivan and all the staff, they are truly professional and uphold high standards care.
I highly recommend anyone who cares about their loved one to visit this Care Home, and you'll see how
amazing the home is.
Thank you very much Vesta Lodge Team!

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.

Vesta Lodge enjoys a splendid reputation in St Albans; long may that continue. There is a dedicated staff and on my regular visitors they are welcoming and courteous. Above all it is a safe haven for the residents.

My mum was in Vesta Lodge since 2017. Peaceful place, caring team, many staff would go extra mile to care for residents. This is what sets Vesta Lodge different from other care homes. Brilliant care was given to my mum till her last breath by bunch of loving people. I would highly recommend Vesta
Lodge.

This is the sixth time my husband has been in respite in five different care homes. Vesta Lodge so far has been the best one on every level. It is bright and inviting, spotlessly clean, and his absolutely no smell of stale urine like other homes. The staff are fantastic, friendly and very caring. I
just cannot fault this home in any way.

My Father has been a resident in the home for several years. During his time in your care, we have always found the facilities to be clean and well-maintained. The staff, including the Manager and senior carer, have been very kind and caring.
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.

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.

My mother was a resident for 3 years and we have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff in how they looked after her and the patience and kindness they showed.
She sadly passed away recently (very peacefully) and the manager and the staff have been very supportive.
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.

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.
08 March 2024
Mum was looked after brilliantly with care and compassion. And Dad always appreciated having a cup of tea made for him when he visited!
The food was clearly homemade, a good variety and very tasty (I had to try it when assisting Mum!)
Vesta Lodge was always clean and decorated according to the
season. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!

My mother has been receiving regular respite at Vesta Lodge over the last two years. Her most recent stay was in January 2024. My sister and I appreciate the continuity and familiarity for my mother as she has memory loss/dementia and becomes anxious and agitated about respite care.
There is
always a kind and friendly welcome for us from the care home manager. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The dining room and seating areas are attractive and bright. The menu varied and looked tasty.
My mother has stayed in some attractive rooms overlooking trees and with the sound of children playing in the school nearby.
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.
14 February 2024
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.

When my aunt moved to Vesta Lodge with dementia recently it was an extremely stressful time for my family, especially her partner. We had no idea what to expect really, and this was our first contact with a care home.
Other reviews here mention the great facilities for residents - and my aunt is
settling in well - but I wanted to focus on the wise and compassionate support that my family received from the manager at Vesta Lodge, which has made a huge difference for us. The manager's kindness was so reassuring for us at a very painful time, and her wise words have helped us to not only do what's best for our aunt but to take better care of her partner; she removed a lot of guilt and anxiety from this difficult situation (which were helping no one). It's the people that make these places, isn't it, at the end of the day, and we feel very lucky that this team are there for us. Thanks all!

Mum was at Vesta Lodge for two weeks respite care and we are so happy with how the team looked after Mum. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive to Mum’s needs which gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in safe hands. Vesta Lodge has a very homely feeling with staff who care for the people
as if they were their own family. I’ve had dealings with quite a few care homes and Vesta Lodge is one of the very best.
06 September 2023
The admin staff are very polite and welcoming. The care manager is always willing to listen to us and to resolve any issues we may have. The carers are helpful and treat my husband with care and respect. The staff overall are brilliant. The rooms could be cleaner.
08 August 2023
As purely a person visiting a resident, I have nothing but praise for the care she receives.
08 August 2023
Vesta Lodge has been a very positive experience for my Mum and our whole family. I am so grateful that everyone has taken the time to get to know my Mum really well. I feel that she is always treated with dignity, kindness and respect. Thank you to the manager and all her team, particularly all the
carers on Mum's unit.
