A world away from what one normally thinks of as a 'residential care home', Casa Antonia is a place where seniors can really feel at home

About Casa Antonia

Casa Antonia is a privately owned, professionally managed Nursing and Residential home, offering long term care, short-stay convalescence and respite care. Our Home is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac in Balzan and overlooks the majestic Presidential Palace and gardens of San Anton. It spreads across an area of approximately 4 tumoli of land and houses 90 rooms with a bed capacity of just over 160. The views from the rooms are spectacular and the location superb, where privacy and tranquillity are guaranteed.

What sets Casa Antonia apart is the way we organise ourselves around the individual needs and wishes of each resident. That means that the rules are yours and not ours. You make your suite your own with your own things, and you retain as much independence as possible whilst knowing that care is on hand 24 hours a day, as and when it is needed or requested.

We are committed to alleviate the stress and doubt that is always associated with moving an elderly patient from home. The quality of our home makes it easier for the families to feel that they are doing their best for their elderly parents or relatives.

With your loved one settled at Casa Antonia you have the reassurance that your loved one will enjoy living at Casa Antonia and be receiving the best possible care and attention. We keep you up to date with your loved-one’s wellbeing, giving you complete peace of mind at all times.

Providing a safe and stable environment is paramount to our philosophy of care. In order that we achieve this, our qualified nurses and carers are at hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every effort is done to help residents feel at home and happy in the knowledge that there is someone to make them feel especially cared for and supported.

Our staff is committed to provide an atmosphere that encourages independence, dignity and respect.
