Antokol Care Home

This is an outstanding care home (and I have seen many in my professional capacity). From the moment my mother arrived she was treated with respect, dignity and above all kindness and tenderness. In the twenty months that she lived at Antokol, I never witnessed any of the staff treat any of the residents with anything less than gentleness and attentiveness, despite the fact that some of the residents have dementia. The residents are treated as individuals and activities are tailored to their particular needs. There is an atmosphere of calm efficiency fostered by the excellent leadership of the manager. The home has mainly Polish residents but the English residents and their families were equally happy with the care and had chosen the home for its caring ethos. In the last days of my mother's life the staff treated my mother and us with exceptional solicitude and care and we could not have hoped for a better place for her to end her days.

My mum was here after an acute illness last year. The carers are patient kind and attentive. The environment is so clean it feels like a hotel not a care home. They managed my mum with an end of life care plan avoiding needing to return to hospital which would have been dreadful. The senior staff are excellent and so thoughtful . The kitchen staff make wonderful food. Max the dog checks any visitors out and loves going into the beautiful garden the home sits in. They all work together so well. Mum was very lucky to have been there

Excellent
