Our Care
Why families choose St Anthony's
A place where life continues
Walk into St Anthony’s and you’ll notice it straight away, the conversation, the laughter and the gentle buzz of daily life. Our Activity Coordinator runs a varied weekly programme built around what residents enjoy, from art and poetry to music and exercise and reminiscence sessions that keep minds active and spirits bright.
Staff who call you family
With only 22 rooms, our team truly knows each person who lives here and what makes them smile. Familiar faces and consistent care help residents feel secure and understood. Families often mention how reassuring it is to see staff truly know the residents and treat them with genuine affection.
Food that tastes like home
Meals at St Anthony’s are freshly prepared by our cook, with menus shaped around residents’ tastes and favourites. Your loved on can dine with others, relax in the lounge, or enjoy a quiet meal in their room.
Cassiobury Park on your doorstep
Being close to Cassiobury Park is a real benefit. Residents enjoy walks, music at the bandstand and watching the world go by. Access to green space and community life helps everyone stay connected and active.
Families often ask
Do you have spaces available?
Availability changes regularly. Call us on 01923 226 174 and we'll let you know the current situation and expected timeframes if we're currently full.
Is St Anthony's suitable for someone with dementia?
Yes. We specialise in dementia care and all our staff are trained in supporting people with dementia at all stages. Our activity programme is designed to be inclusive, and the smaller size of the home helps create the familiarity and routine that people with dementia need.
Can we bring our own furniture?
Absolutely. We encourage residents to personalise their rooms with small items of furniture and cherished possessions. Familiar belongings help a new room feel like home from day one.
Can residents still enjoy the local area?
Yes. Being close to Cassiobury Park means residents can enjoy walks there with staff support, attend community events at the bandstand, or simply sit and enjoy the park atmosphere. We also organise regular trips out throughout the year.
Do you accept respite stays?
Yes, subject to availability. Respite care provides a break for family carers or can be used as a recovery period after hospital. It's also a good way to experience life at St Anthony's before making longer-term decisions.
