Care Homes Owned by Allegra Care in Hampshire

It was difficult to find the right secure, dementia care home for our brother (72) who has Korsakoff. Syndrome. From the outset the Fordingbridge team at all levels have been helpful, empathic, and professional. The team lead quickly appraised and understood our brother's needs, both his clinical diagnosis and how to manage his personal quirks and preferences and need for autonomy, limited though that now is. The care team on the floor are consistently kind and attentive, and treat him with warmth and good humour. There is a good atmosphere here and the home environment is spacious, well appointed and clean and the food seems very good. A year on, his second year in care, he is more settled, happy to have a large tree-surrounded garden with shady places to sit, either alone or with some of his friends. It's been a big relief to find the right place for him.

Sadly my dad passed in July but I was with him for 4 days and nights, indeed the staff encouraged me to stay. I was given access to food and drink throughout my stay. They even sat and comforted me when I had a wobble. Every single member of staff stopped by to say goodbye to dad before he passed. We couldn't have asked for more. I would not hesitate to have my relatives or friends come to stay in this home. I cannot thank them enough for their care of dad.

My Dad has been a resident at Fordingbridge since Feb 2026. He was in a previous care home for 3 years but they could no longer manage him due to the characteristics of his dementia. The manager gave me every confidence that her team could look after my Dad and 8 months later that has definitely proved to be the case. All the staff I have encountered have a genuine caring nature. The atmosphere is friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in to the reception. The rooms are big and airy and always very clean. The nursing staff are caring and professional and always keep me updated with any health issues. My Dad often features in video's singing and dancing with the staff and residents which I can then share with the family. My dad is very well looked after and appears happy. I cannot ask for anything more.

My mum has been a resident at Fordingbridge for several months now, and with the support of all the staff, she has settled in very well. She had a challenging first two weeks but, thanks to the excellent care, support and interventions provided by the staff, these issues were quickly resolved. One of the key reasons was the outstanding care and attention given by the team responsible for managing and monitoring her medication. Every conversation I had with them left me feeling confident that Mum's wellbeing was being closely monitored and that any necessary adjustments were made promptly. In addition, whenever I visit, I regularly see carers spending time with residents, engaging them in conversation and showing them genuine kindness. These small but meaningful moments of care make a real difference. Overall, I am so happy that Mum is at Fordingbridge.

I feel mum is always treated with care, dignity and respect at all times. Her room is bright and airy and the community lounge has a lovely mix of sofas, chairs and tables, with easy access to the garden.

I would not hesitate to recommend Fordingbridge Care Home. Mum hit the jackpot when she was discharged from hospital to continue her care there.

Fordingbridge Care Home is a very welcoming home that looks after all residents as equals. The staff are friendly and polite towards visitors and residents alike. They care for all the needs of residents be they care, assistance, medical, cleanliness and all aspects of quality of life of residents. They also care about family and on occasions have cared and comforted me. Highly commended!

The care home at Fordingbridge is very good. Staff are friendly and always helpful. Any concerns are dealt with or needs.

This care home is highly recommended as the staff are extremely caring & efficient. Even more so since the recent changes of management. The atmosphere is jolly and makes for a very relaxed visit. Nothing is too much trouble. My friend is always clean and presentable, and no matter what he gets up to, he is treated with the utmost respect and dignity. For this, I am truly grateful.

My grandmother has lived in 4 previous care homes prior to Fordingbridge Care Home. I can honestly say that this care home does wonders for her needs exceeding expectations for her overall living and quality of life. The care home is warm and welcoming from its setting, internal environment, facilities for residents and it's amazing staff members. My grandmother is happy and settled. Her bedroom is warm, spacious and risk-free. They offer a great selection of freshly cooked food to its residents allowing my grandmother to have a balanced diet. The care home has recently undergone light refurbishments and now looks great! Highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for themselves or loved ones. Special thanks to the team for doing an amazing job not only for my grandmother but for all residents as this is visible when we have visited the site.

Every staff member has been exceptional and all demonstrated genuine care and support around looking after my father-in-law. It has certainly helped with the bereavement knowing how well he was looked after and that he was always surrounded by people who looked after him like he was their own father. He was always clean and so was his room.

I was not able to visit my Dad as much as I liked due to Covid and my work commitments and distance to the home but I was rest assured knowing my Dad was being looked after so well. All of the staff were so attentive and I believe that they not only cared for my Dad but also had a special bond with him and would make him smile. His room and himself were always clean and when I visited the staff, they always made me feel welcome, they would also keep in touch with me and notify me of how my Dad was doing. I would recommend this home to anyone thinking of sending their loved ones there.

The job of taking care of my father's every need was difficult at best and got harder as his illness progressed but the staff always stepped up to the mark.

My sister has settled in well. She seems content and happy when we arrive to visit and when we depart. She has deteriorated due to her type of dementia but still seems well in herself. The staff have always been helpful and they have addressed many problems that have occurred with my sister nad have adapted things to help with her needs. We have always found the staff very approachable and willing to answer out queries or questions. We are pleased that they now have permanent activity staff to help keep the residents interested and entertained. We're thankful that my sister is safe and well cared for.

Excellent care from underappreciated and overworked staff. After we explained our concerns to the deputy manager she was very sympathetic to our needs and took the time to explain the daily care that my relative was receiving. Because of this we now have a better understanding of what happens on a daily basis. Thank you to the deputy manager!

Our sister is well-looked after despite her being a little angry at times. But the staff handle it well and we are very grateful for that. Thank you.

It's difficult to put into words my gratitude to all the staff and management of Fordingbridge Care Home.

Taken overall and considering what the place is I find it a pleasurable place that I feel my mother is well looked after in.

Mum was happy at Fordingbridge Care Home, as she told us often. Our family also knew she had the very best of care and attention which gave us peace of mind between visits. There are a number of staff who worked on her floor and we cannot thank them enough personally for being her family when we weren't there with her. You all know who you are. We really feel that she was in the best place with the best care and love in her last days. Thank you all.

My grandmother was diagnosed with mixed dementia quite a few years ago. We watched her slowly fail to manage in her own home and finally the day came where she needed more care than was able to be provided in her own home. This was a big moment for everyone and came with a lot of thoughts of guilt, sadness and fear, especially seeing her be separated from her husband. She sadly passed away recently and we can honestly say that the care she had at Fordingbridge Care Home surpassed all of our expectations. Seeing her so trusting towards the staff, even up until the end, was such a reassurance for us as a family and a tribute to the incredible care staff that went above and beyond for her. I hope all the staff at Fordingbridge can be proud of the quality of care they provide and know that we truly feel they are the unsung heroes.
