About St Vincent House
We are a residential care home in Gosport, providing a home for older people who need support with everyday life, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays, either arranged in advance so a family carer can have a break or at shorter notice when somebody needs care for a period. We try to run this as a home rather than a unit. People keep their own routines and belongings, families are welcome rather than scheduled, and where somebody can still do something for themselves we leave them to it. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is there when it is wanted, given in a way that does not chip away at a person's dignity. We want to be open about the regulator rather than leave you to find out later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. There is work going on in response to what was raised, and if you are thinking about a place here for somebody in your family you are entitled to ask what that work is and how far it has got. We will answer you honestly. Beyond that, the most useful thing anybody can do is come and look round, talk to the staff and see how the people living here seem. Please get in touch and we will arrange a time that works for you.
