It's almost a year since Mum became a resident at St Catherine's View, following a failed placement at another care home who decided they couldn't manage her needs after 2 days. At the time Mum's needs were challenging but St Catherine's looked after her and managed all the difficulties with skill,
care, patience. understanding and empathy. Over time with the excellent support and effort from the staff at St Catherine's she has settled and this week we reached a milestone in one aspect of her care. It has been a big relief for the family to have found such a lovely place for Mum to live where we can feel confident she is well looked after, safe and loved. As a dedicated dementia home the understanding of this challenging illness shines through all the staff and there are so many thoughtful, well informed decisions made throughout the home, covering every aspect of the running of St Catherine's. I would wholeheartedly recommend St Catherine's to others.

My wife has now been a resident at St Catherine's for about 4 months having moved them from another home in Winchester. The difference in the level of care is so very obvious. Everything about St Catherine's is better. They got to know my wife's needs very quickly and addressed each one with skill
and professionalism that impressed me. She is happier, cleaner, medically better and seems to be amongst a new family. We feel she is now the best she can be given her illness.

It was very traumatic when the time came for my wife to go into a care home but choosing St Catherine's View was an excellent decision. The staff are brilliant. They are all so caring and friendly whatever their role and it is apparent as soon as you enter reception. The home is very well presented
throughout with an up-market feel and it is all kept very clean and tidy. There is a good range of activities every day and efforts are made to tailor these for individual wishes. The home is a pleasant place for visitors. There are plenty of private areas and cafes and two very attractive gardens that are well maintained. I particularly appreciate how dog-friendly it is so our dog is not left out on visiting. My wife greatly enjoys the on-site hairdressing salon which she regularly uses. Overall it gives me great comfort that my wife is safe and secure at St Catherine's View and is in good hands.

Mum has been at St Catherine's View for three years now, and the care for her has been exemplary. The staff are quick to spot if there's an issue and move to resolve it swiftly. There's a welcoming, loving atmosphere from reception through to the residents' lounges. The facilities are fantastic, and
the garden is pristine, with plenty of space and seating for residents and their families to use when the weather allows.
The whole operation is first class. I would recommend St Catherines Vew to anyone.

Mum has been a resident for over 2 years. It was so important to us that she was in a place that would take the time and have the right staff to really care and provide for her specialist dementia needs. The staff know and understand what she does and doesn't like, and as her dementia progresses are
adapting to her changing needs. All the staff are friendly and professional. The whole team work together and do a fantastic job with caring for and entertaining the residents. We have regular updates and reviews of how she is doing, as well as discuss any changes needed to Mum's care with the senior nurses. While it is quite expensive you really get what you pay for, great value for money for the level of care taken. We feel that she is very content there and well looked after. It is purpose built with beautiful gardens providing a friendly and safe environment. We have been really pleased with our choice of care home for Mum and would certainly recommend St Catherine's View.

Mum was in the care home for nearly 4 years. Throughout that time, from bringing Mum in, the paperwork, the love and care, attention to detail, the regular check-ins, the monthly updates, the health monitoring, the visiting at a time that suited us... all was handled with compassion and empathy.
Vanda Baker is the Manager and the staff are brilliant under her guidance. The facilities are excellent and it really is the staff that make this place. Activities are many and varied with regular supervised trips out. The magazine is brilliant and they make a point of featuring everyone during the year to give the families and friends something to look out for. They really do care. This is the sort of place you wish for to give your loved ones a beautiful place to have their final years. It's not the cheapest place and it is great value for money based on the care taken. I would recommend this Care home to anyone.

I cannot fault the care that my mother has received on her dementia journey over the 8 1/2 years that she has been in Colten Care Homes. I am so glad that she came to Winchester to live near us, and enjoyed the social life at St Cats. The energy, dedication and patience shown by all the staff
without exception is remarkable, and now as she ends her dementia journey I have a sense of calm and peace descending over her and us. Thank you everyone for all you have done and continue to do for those with dementia.

Have nothing but praise for the team at St Catherine's View. Mum was admitted in January 2025 due to her advanced dementia. We looked after mum at home until we could no longer cope with her challenging behaviour but the team there do a fantastic job and mum seems quite settled.
She does not
join in any activities so I am unable to comment on them.

The decision to move dad into a care home to support his late stage dementia was a difficult one, the choice of home however is something we have never regretted. It was important to us for dad to be in a specialist dementia facility where his condition and needs would be understood.
We are so
grateful to all the staff at St Catherines View and the exceptional care dad received there. Visiting dad often we could see how well dad was supported and cared for. The nursing and care staff were excellent, extending that kindness to us too.

My friend has been with you since January 2025. Since being here in St Catherines, she has settled so well lots of extra care and support with her specialist needs. The teams have all been wonderful I could name so many however they are all so caring and patient with my friend. The staff member who
manages to get her showered regularly has been brilliant, my friend responds to her. The activities coordinator gets her engaged with activities. Well done everyone!

The success of any home is most influenced by the style set by its leader. St Catherines View has a staff team from any backgrounds but without exception follow the standards set by the home manager. My wife has been a resident for over 2 years and despite the limitations of her dementia, she has
often expressed her happiness & contentment with St Catherines. This is a great comfort to me, as her husband. Recently, the companionship leader arranged for her to go sailing which she loved, having sailed with me and her friends over the years.

On discharge from hospital my husband joined St Catherine's View in December 2024. Our family are very grateful for the care that he received and the support offered to us by all the staff.
Sadly, his time at St Catherine's was shorter than we had hoped, but during his stay we felt that he was in
safe and sympathetic hands and all the staff could not have been more helpful.

My elderly father fell and broke his hip in September and had a spell in hospital. Upon going home, it was clear that he was not going to manage and my brother and I were going abroad simultaneously. The decision was made to move dad into care and St Catherines was incredibly quick to assist with
dad's assessment being completed within 48 hours and his seamless move into his room 48 hours after that. The care and kindness that everyone at St Catherines View showed not just my dad but all of us at a very difficult time was outstanding. The level of care he received was exceptional and we always felt very comfortable that he was being well looked after. I will always be incredibly grateful for everything the team at St Catherines View did for my dad while he was there, you are all wonderful!

The staff from the receptionist to the carers are always polite, friendly and helpful to my mother and me when I visit. Mum seems very happy and content at the home. I would like to thank all the staff for their work in looking after Mum.
25 October 2024
I looked at several care homes prior to choosing St Catherines View. Immediately I was struck by a sense of family, love and happiness. The staff throughout my mother's time at the home have been professional, loving, caring and considerate. Whenever I dropped in my mum looked happy, well-turned out
and content. In her final days, both I and my brothers were overwhelmed by the warmth of all the staff and the tenderness they showed my mother. I highly recommend St Catherines.
29 August 2024
My mother was a resident at St Catherines View dementia care home for 18 months until her recent death.
During that time and especially as her end neared, the care home staff were absolutely wonderful.
They showed her and our family lots of care and compassion and looked after Mum with genuine
love and affection.
We consider ourselves to be very lucky that Mum's last year or so was spent at St Catherines.
28 August 2024
My husband spent an excellent few weeks at St Catherine's View. He was very well looked after by friendly, knowledgeable staff who always cared for him to the utmost of their ability. Excellent food, drink and services. The gardens always looked beautiful. Thank you to everyone for all their help
and support.
29 July 2024
Very impressed with the level of cleanliness and care and the fact that all staff are totally approachable and eager to please. As my wife has slowly and inevitably deteriorated the care, compassion and kindness have increased. Bedding, clothes and hair are all spotlessly clean and always staff give
gentle reassurance using Christian names.
14 June 2024
Lovey atmosphere, staff is always ready to talk to wife and answer questions. Talks to residents and looks after needs at any point. Excellent meals, good choices.
07 June 2024
I cannot thank and congratulate you more, the management, care and teamwork offered by you all at St. Catherines View Care Home in Winchester.
My mother has been a happy resident for 5 years, which naturally includes the dreadful Covid period, a very traumatic time for us all, not least for the
staff and management.
The social outings and in-home events arranged by the excellent activities team are to be applauded. They offer so much pleasure to the residents and it is a great comfort, as a daughter, to know that my dear mum is not just sitting, 'vegetating' and waiting to die.
She recently celebrated her 101st Birthday.
I would very much appreciate it if my sentiments and grateful thanks could be shared with your wonderful team.
