My mother is starting her fourth year at St.Theresa's Rest Home and she has been very happy there. The staff are friendly and helpful, the managers are very hands on ready to help in anyway. If I have any concerns about my mum they are happy to answer any questions. Her room is always clean and tidy and mum always looks well cared for. My mum can be difficult at times and the staff are very understanding and patient with her. Whenever mum is unwell they ring me and let me now how she is and that they are going to ring the doctor. I would recommend the home to anyone who was looking for a place for a family member to be looked after.

My mother has been a resident at St Theresa's for nearly seventeen years. She has just celebrated her 103rd birthday. In all this time her care has been excellent. She has been treated with kindness and patience by everyone involved in the running of the home. Mum always looks clean and well cared for. There is a lovely homely atmosphere. Many activities are arranged by the staff and outside professionals to stimulate the residents both physically and mentally. The food is home-cooked and efforts are made to cater for personal preferences. All the staff are approachable and willing to discuss any concerns. Very quick to seek medical help when necessary. When my mother was told by the hospital that she should go into residential care I was given no help in finding a suitable home. I am so glad that St Theresa's had a vacancy at that time. I can't fault their care.

Mum went to St Theresa's in February 2022 and was there for two years. I looked at a lot of homes before deciding on St Theresa's but my mind was made up after my first visit. The owners sat with me answering my questions in a full and honest manner and it was evident they were committed to running a home I wanted Mum to be in. My first impression and lasting one is that St Theresa's is definitely a home-from-home. It is cosy and homely and always felt like I was visiting a real home, not a care home. The staff were always kind and considerate and although Mum could be difficult at times they treated her with respect and ensured she maintained her dignity. Mum was always clean and respectable when I visited and her personal care was impeccable. The owner always had time for me when I needed to discuss something and I can honestly say that she helped me through some difficult times as well as Mum. If you are looking for a home for someone you love, look no further than St Theresa's.

My mother-in-law was admitted in February 2021. She had requested to go into residential care, and St Theresa's seemed the perfect fit. We were very pleased with how she settled in, making some friendships with other residents and the staff were most caring and attentive to her various physical, mental and social needs. Lockdown rules were very strictly enforced, but we were able to speak to her on the phone and see her in the conservatory from the garden. While this made her settling in a little more difficult, we were very reassured by the desire to keep residents and staff safe. Later we were able to visit in a side room, while still observing lockdown rules. The home invested in a lovely garden room, where we could see her once Covid restrictions eased. This made for privacy and a nice view of the garden. The home offered various activities, which sometimes participated in, though less toward the end. We are very satisfied with St Theresa's level of care.

St Theresa's is such a lovely home from home. I was worried about entering my mother as she has always taken care of herself and is a very independent woman. However, the manageress made the transition so easy, with brilliant help to me in this case. It took her a while but she settled, she was a bit stubborn at first, but the staff have been wonderful and she now regards it as home. The home is lovely, the rooms are airy and bright and the garden is beautiful. One lady is a treasure and the manageress right-hand woman. If there are any health problems, they sort things out promptly. The food is all cooked fresh every day, and though my mother is stubborn with her eating, they ensure she he's the nutrition she needs. The staff are so kind and patient with her, Mum likes a laugh, and the staff enjoy her wit. We love going to visit there, as it's a smaller home it's so nice getting to know the staff. We are so happy she's settled into a lovely home for her twilight years.

After much agonising and research, my mother went to live in St Theresa's in the spring of 2022. We had no need to worry. Her care was professional and caring and the atmosphere homely but professional. The staff were all friendly and caring and responsive to everyone's needs. Communication between the home and the family was always effective. Towards the end of her life, my mother was comfortable and contented. My sister and I have no regrets that we chose St Theresa's.

My aunt and her friend both stayed here for 3 and 6 years respectively, and I think they had really first-class care at this home. The atmosphere was always homely, and the gardens were beautiful and well-kept. They made extra effort with their new Covid Pod in the latter days of Covid to ensure people got to see their loved ones in those hard times. They were very cautious on the whole and had no casualties from Covid. Most importantly all the staff showed consistent compassion and kindness to the residents, and they always seemed happy and at home there. We were always kept well informed of their health and needs and they displayed great professionalism. We can highly recommend this place to others. Thank you!

My aunt resided in St Theresa's Rest Home for the last three months of her life, and I wish we had found it sooner - she had advanced dementia. The management and staff were truly amazing. Before my aunt went into the care home, she was not walking or eating properly, and they promised to do their best to get her mobile and eat again with the care and help from staff, they achieved this. On many of our visits, we found the staff informative and caring and also updated us on her progress. She settled in quickly and enjoyed her surroundings, which were very homely. Just wished she had long here.

Very friendly home, with experienced and caring staff. Very clean and no unpleasant smells. Food home cooked, which is very appetising. Always consulted on resident's care and medical help, contacted when necessary. They have activities to stimulate their residents, as well as television and music.

My dad has been living at St Theresa’s for a year this week. It is the perfect home from home for him with its cosy surroundings and beautiful garden. He enjoys his meals, which are varied and cooked fresh on the premises. He often tells me how well-looked after he is and how friendly all the staff are. From my point of view, the management and staff make this rest home the best place for my dad with their dedication and caring attitude helping him to settle in, be restored to health and make new friends. I know that there is always someone available to talk to if I need some advice. I would have no hesitation recommending St Theresa's to anyone looking for the perfect place for their loved one who is unable to live on their own anymore.

My mother is a resident of St Theresa's Rest Home. She was previously with a larger cooperate care home which did not suit her needs. Mum is much happier at St Theresa's, and as Mum is suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's, it was important to ensure Mum was living in a calm, peaceful environment, which this home definitely provides. Being smaller and run with a permanent staff base and not lots of different agency workers, this gives Mum the familiarity of carers and helps make her feel safe. The staff are all very caring and attentive. The home is well-run and friendly. We can call any time to discuss Mum's welfare and have had no difficulty securing appointments to visit regularly. Mum enjoys the food and is well-fed. Mum is diabetic, and therefore, requires daily insulin and checks, which are provided by the district nurse, and the GP is also very accessible for any additional medical concerns. Mum is also appropriately dressed and clean. We are very happy with Mum's placement.

My mum was a resident for nearly two years. When Mum went to St Theresa's, she was discharged from the hospital and was very poorly with dementia and frail, but the manager and her staff were amazing. My mum looks fabulous and well, had gained some weight all from the efforts and dedication they gave Mum, also myself, my sister and brother were very much assured of how my mum was going to be looked after because we had struggled to accept that Mum needed professional care, and they also supported us as well. When we visited, Mum was always clean and well fed, and we were always updated if needed and also any questions needed answering. They were amazing. St Theresa's looked after Mum brilliantly, and myself and my siblings have said that we were so lucky to have found St Theresa's. Please do not hesitate to give them and call and go there for yourself - you won't be disappointed.

My mother has been a resident at St Theresa's for nearly fifteen years, and she is now approaching her 101st birthday. She was admitted to the home straight from the hospital, and I can't fault the care that she has been receiving. The environment is homely and welcoming, and the managers and staff are always friendly and approachable. Activities are arranged, and residents are encouraged to take part in them. The food is home-cooked and always smells appetising. Everyone is very considerate of my mother's needs, and her dignity is maintained. Mum always looks clean and well cared for. I am so pleased that there was a vacancy at St Theresa's when I was looking for a care home for her.

The care and support provided for my elderly relative have been wonderful. He has been living at the home for over 10 years, during which time his mental capacity has declined, but he has remained very well physically. This is largely due to the care and attention he receives from the carers, who know him and his needs very well and looks after him with compassion and care. During the worst times of the Covid pandemic and lockdown, when rigorous safety measures were successfully introduced to protect the residents, the manager of the home ensured that I was kept in touch regularly with how my relative was doing as I was not able to visit as often as I had done. His care plan is updated every month, and all medical and welfare matters are dealt with very efficiently. The care home is very comfortable and has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere in which my relative feels safe in a secure environment. He is happy and calm, largely due to the positive, warm and caring approach of the whole team.

Homely, professional, caring, friendly, honest - these are just five of the positive words that came to mind as I sat down to review Mum's and our experience of St Theresa's Rest Home. I actually can't think of any negative words. The care Mum received in her final few years was second to none; it was a great comfort to myself and my brother to know that Mum was so well cared for in such lovely surroundings. We got to know some of the staff as friends; their care for Mum as a person was always very touching to see, re-assuring her and us through the difficulties that Covid threw our way. Following a very bad experience at a poor care home, our faith and trust in elderly care were quickly restored. Three years later, we never for a minute regretted our decision to move Mum to St Theresa's. Home-cooked food, fresh ambience throughout, large garden, lovely rooms and top care from the whole team of employees and management. Thanks to everyone there for treating our mum with respect and kindness.

I was aware of St Theresa's from my work in primary care over many years, and it had a very good reputation then. I have been retired for 10 years, and when my mother needed care, she chose St Theresa's 3 years ago. She was impressed by the warm, family atmosphere, which helped her to settle in well. Unfortunately, she has had a variety of health issues, and her mental state fluctuates. Although her communication skills have deteriorated, the staff are always kind and considerate. She is treated with respect and compassion. The management is readily available for discussion and feedback. During Covid, there have had to be adaptations, but the care and safety of residents have always been given priority. At this stage in her life, where she needs round-the-clock attention, I am very happy with that decision that she made 3-years ago.
18 May 2022
On visits to several care homes in the area, I decided that St Theresa's Rest Home was the ideal place for my dear friend of 70 years. The bedrooms are clean, cosy, airy and warm. The food supplied by their own kitchen is freshly cooked; tea, biscuits and soup are readily available. Wednesday's exercise days are appreciated, along with other activities also. She was admitted 5-years ago. The management collected her from Southampton on our behalf, and are very helpful and caring. The staff too are very helpful and caring.

Mum moved into St Theresa's Rest Home in February 2021. She had been in hospital for six weeks and prior to that, I had been caring for her at home. Her physical health at that time was poor, and she was unable to walk unaided usually, I moved her to a wheelchair. Since settling in, mum's health has improved greatly, she has gained a little weight and is attempting to walk again without the use of a frame. She generally seems happy and relaxed. This is because of the great care she is receiving from the staff who really do hold her in their hearts. St Theresa's Rest Home truly is an excellent care home, and mum is very happy there.

My mother-in-law moved into St Theresa's in June 2019. We had spent a great deal of time choosing the perfect place and were not disappointed with our choice. It has kind, considerate and well-trained staff, a friendly environment, great food, lovely rooms and a wonderful garden. The communication between the home and family was excellent, especially during the pandemic. They have had no Covid cases, and this was so reassuring. Sadly my mother-in-law passed away this year, but her complex medical issues were managed extremely well and allowed her to enjoy her last years of life to the full.
26 October 2021
My mother selected St Theresa’s Rest Home as she liked the warm, friendly atmosphere that made her feel at home. She loves her room, the food and enjoys the beautiful garden. She has been there for over two years, and I am delighted with the excellent, kind and considerate care she has received from the staff and the owners. At 93, my mother has many medical issues, her behaviour is unpredictable, and she has difficulty communicating. At St Theresa’s, she is treated with respect, patience and compassion, with every effort given to preserving her dignity. Her numerous medical issues are managed efficiently and effectively, despite the time required to achieve this. Communication with the family is excellent and hugely benefits our mother, also it was crucial during the lockdown. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for those caring for my mother, but they excelled themselves and continue to maintain an exceptional standard of care.
