My wife, who has dementia and very limited mobility, took up residence at Alverstoke House 7 months ago. Her care needs were fully assessed at the outset, she was given a lovely sunny room and has settled in well since then. The facilities at the Home are excellent and equipment to assist with mobility is readily available. The staff are very professional in what they do; fully trained, well motivated and helpful at all times. Overall I feel that she is being well looked after and i am grateful to everyone there for delivering such good quality care.
Any areas which are not five star will be investigated.
Many thanks again.

Alverstoke House Care home provided a above excellent nursing care for my very poorly mother. They treated her with dignity and thoughtful care. All of the staff conducted their duties to a very high standard. She was offered alternatives to the daily general menu, way beyond any expectations, nothing was too much trouble. Mum only spent 4 weeks there before passing but she felt safe and loved. Family and friends that visited were made very welcome.
Thank you so much for this kind review which is gratefully received by our hardworking staff team. Your mum will be greatly missed here, however we are pleased that your family and friends felt welcome and that she felt safe and loved.
I came to the home in November 2024 and was made very welcome, nothing is too much trouble and the staff are very caring and understanding of any problems that you have and will help.

Alverstoke House is the loveliest home we have ever been in and the way my aunt was treated was nothing but excellent. She was always happy and settled and we can't thank the staff enough for everything they have done.

Mum and the family were offered a place of dignity and safety at Alverstoke Nursing Home where we all felt welcome and part of the warm community they have built. A place where Mum could still feel very connected to her family and friends, and somewhere where we could comfort her too right up until the end. The team gave us the greatest gift of being able to spend those few months and precious last couple of days and moments with their support of being close to Mum, and I know that if she was here now, she would agree as family was everything to Mum.
There are so many things they didn't have to do from gently combing her hair after Mum was moved, to constant reassurance, to the ice cream she loved, to the care they took after she passed the list goes on.
Thank you so much for a lovely review. Our team work extremely hard to provide the best person-centred care and will be delighted that both your Mum and your family felt she was getting great care and I will pass on the praise you have offered to all of them. Many thanks again.

Alverstoke House stepped in and offered a room for my father when he was discharged from hospital without a care package and I was out of the country. They were able to settle and care for him until his house was prepared for his return. Staff were lovely and supportive and always friendly. My only negative would be that despite labelling, his trousers tended to go for laundry and were not seen again... But this was a minor that was made up for by the care and respect he received. It would have been nice if his room was en suite, but this was managed well and helped to ensure Dad had to move and not just sit in a chair isolated in his room... Overall, we are both very satisfied by the standard of care afforded to Dad when he really needed it - I thank the staff and are happy to recommend Alverstoke House to any prospective customers. Thank you for being there when we really needed you.
Many thanks for a lovely review. Our hard working team are very grateful for your feedback and we all greatly miss your dad.

This is the second time my sister and I have used Alverstoke House for respite care for our elderly mother. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and the managers in particular were extremely helpful on both occasions in arranging this at short notice for us. The staff were kind and caring, and we were very happy that she was being safely looked after. Mum settled in quite quickly: she enjoyed the food and liked to sit in the conservatory watching the birds and passersby. We would certainly use the Home again and would be happy to recommend it.
Thank you for your kind review. Our hardworking team strive to ensure our residents the best care. We look forward to welcoming your sister again if the need arises. Many thanks
Excellent nursing home. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff were very caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend. Thank you for treating dad with love, kindness and compassion.

When approached, Alverstoke House management was immediately interested in and working to accommodate my wife's needs. With a minimum of involvement on my part, she was transferred from the hospital to the home just before Christmas. Her dementia was increasingly active. Her refusal to eat was...
Subsequently, her situation became increasingly restricted. Her ability to move was limited and mentally she was increasingly lacking. It was recognised that she was at 'end of life'. Nevertheless, her daily routine of clothes changes and personal hygiene were maintained to a high standard.
My son and I were encouraged to be with her whenever we wished and were able to visit her throughout her time at the home. The nursing staff were very approachable and supported us during a difficult time.
My thanks to them all.
Thank you for your kind review, our hard-working team appreciate this feedback greatly.
From the moment my father was admitted he was greeted with warmth and given the best care.
The quality of the care given to my father up to the day he died was truly outstanding.

As a relative I was always made welcome, particularly by the main staff group, although sometimes it was difficult to obtain information from senior staff, as they were very office-bound. I did feel that agency staff particularly at weekends were largely left unsupervised.
Thank you for your review, the team work very hard to ensure the happiness of our residents and we will pass on your comments. We have ensured we have Care Team Leaders on shift during the weekends to ensure agency staff have full support.
