The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found The Andover Nursing Home to be 'outstanding' when they made an unannounced inspection in June 2019. The home undergoes virtual inspections annually and has retained its "Outstanding" rating since 2019.

The ethos of the home is founded on teamwork, strong values, inclusion, a sense of openness and the firm belief that residents deserve the very best from the place that is their home.

Every member of the team is committed to person-centred care; a holistic approach which takes into account each resident’s unique qualities, abilities, interests, preferences and needs.

The home is fitted with every modern facility.

The home has exceptionally spacious public rooms, which allows residents to join in communal activities or quietly entertain their families and friends.

Bedrooms have been purpose-built to be spacious and are equipped to provide all the comforts you might require. All bedrooms have their own wet room, television and telephone. Residents are encouraged to bring smaller items of personal furniture or other items of personal importance.

As well as giving opportunities to spend time in different locations, there are gathering places for musical entertainment, parties, talks and other activities.

My dad got to spend his last week here on palliative care after a very short illness and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I'm very grateful for the care and support they gave dad and ourselves in his final days.

Review from Paul R (Son of Resident) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father entered the home on 9th September 2024
We believed he was suffering with vascular dementia
Before moving to the home he was anxious, confused and very often tearful
We reviewed the home and were impressed with both the level of care and the compassion given to the residents
They all appeared
both active and integrated and were offered engaging activities throughout the month
Once he moved in he settled immediately and became noticeably calmer and happier, gaining weight and making friends
He often commented upon how well he was being looked after
The home was very supportive of both his visitors and his interests
They allowed a group of his friends, who were hand bell ringers, to conduct their weekly practice sessions on site which enabled him to continue to participate in his hobby until four weeks before his death
The support and kindness shown to him and us during the last few weeks of his life was outstanding and very much appreciated
I strongly recommend this care home
Reply from Hamish Mathews, Estates officer at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for such a kind review, your father was such a pleasure to look after, he made some lovely friends in the home and we all hope the bell ringers continue to practice at the home. I will pass on your comments to all the staff, they mean allot.

After caring for my brother for 4 years, he sadly passed away. I would like to thank all of the staff and management from the bottom of my heart. For the excellent care given to him, especially the last few weeks, not only caring for him but the family as well. I would highly recommend the outstanding

My father has been a resident at Andover Nursing Home for nearly 2 years and he is so pleased that this is now his home. He has a very nice room that looks onto the garden. The staff are first class and take time to get to know their residents in detail. Many of the staff have been there for years,
so there is a very low turnover of staff which means dad has continuity with the staff that look him. My father really loves the food and we have had several family meals in the restaurant which have been fantastic and this allows dad to be more included in family events.
Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you for your very kind review. Our exceptional staff retention is a credit to everyone and it gives us that amazing continuity of care our residents need. Your farther loves the family meals as much as we all love you all coming. Reviews are so important for all the staff and I will pass on your review to everyone.

Everyone who works at ANH is absolutely the very best and they put the residents needs first. Thank you very much to Matron for being so wonderful and thank you so much to you all for the care and love you gave to my parents over the last 9 years. Thank you too for making myself and my family always
feel so welcome. ANH is definitely a very special place.
The nursing and personal care has been fantastic and with so much kindness and attention along with respect for their needs meant my parents were always comfortable and felt very well looked after. My dear mother recently passed away and I was fortunate to be with her. Watching the dedication of the nurses for her palliative care was special to see and something for which I will always be grateful.
There is a happy feeling at ANH as it feels like a home and one big family.
I am so pleased that we chose ANH for my parents and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent home, the very best.
Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for such a kind review, it means so much to all the staff. Both your parents were charming and a pleasure to care for, they were both such a big part in our family. I will pass on your thanks to everyone at ANH.

My relative has been at Andover for almost 5 years and has been superbly cared for in that time. High professional standards, compassion, connection and well run behind the scenes. All the nurses are familiar with her case, and through all the challenges have been able to provide her with safety, dignity
and comfort. Thank you Andover!.

I cannot fault Andover Nursing Home. There rooms, standard of cleanliness and facilities are all excellent but it is the team there that provides the biggest differentiator to other care/nursing homes I have visited. From the greeting at reception to the care provided from there on (patient and visitors)
was truly exceptional. Smiling and caring people everywhere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care our stepfather received over the past 4 years has been outstanding - from the initial meeting with Matron before his emergency arrival, to his gentle and peaceful final days. Andover Nursing Home became a real home to him, with the staff making sure they got to know who he was and what he liked,
and understanding his medical and wellbeing needs. Our family and visitors have been welcomed at all times, and we were kept well informed of any changes to his care. The nursing staff adapted constantly to my stepfather's slow decline in physical and mental health, respecting his dignity at all times. The link to the local doctors and surgery was professional and timely, often anticipating needs. The staff work seamlessly together as a team, always with a smile - it feels like one big family. The excellent leadership and safe environment filter down through the place, resulting in an outstanding nursing home. Thank you to all who cared for our stepfather - he loved you all!
Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am so proud of our wonderful staff, whatever their role, who always go the extra mile. We loved your stepfather and miss him. Please visit us at any time.

Review from Mike L (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 17 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Looking after the elderly and infirm is something most of us have thankfully little experience of. Personally, I doubt I could do it which makes my admiration of the people who choose this as a profession all the stronger. Apart from dealing with the mucky bits and the frustrating bits and the heart
rendering caring for people who are approaching their final days, there is capacity in the Andover Care Home staff to show compassion, care and understanding. From top to bottom, this is a fantastically well-run place that repeatedly gains an Outstanding award from the CQC. Forget about all the recent criticism over a one-word assessment as in this case that one word says it all. In my view, my sister-in-law got very very lucky to find a place here. I try to express my appreciation to the staff by way of some chocolate and carrots (for matron's horses) by feeling, in comparison, my rating is inadequate, you all deserve far more. Thank you. P.S. Outstanding is only given to a very small percentage.
Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. While the chocolates and carrots are greatly appreciated, nothing means as much as your kind words. I will ensure that the staff are aware of your feedback as it really means so much to all of us. We look forward to seeing you soon.

I can't begin to explain how amazing this establishment is. My mum and I have been warmly welcomed by everyone, since walking in the door on the day we went to look round. All staff bar none are absolutely worth their weight in gold. The care they provide is sensational and it is very reassuring for

My uncle has resided in Andover Nursing Home for four and a half years. He has seen Covid times and pre and post-living. The quality of the care has been fantastic in all this time. As a family, we could not have asked for more. Knowing that he was safe and looked after in such a caring way and kept
occupied by the activities staff was a great peace of mind. If asked, I would certainly recommend.

Our son aged 48 has lived in Andover Nursery Home for over three years. It is unusual for a younger person to need care in a nursing home and as his parents we worried how he would fit in. He is kind and gentle and absolutely loves the happy, positive and calm nature of life there. The house is delightful,
the staff are exceptional. They are friendly and respectful to those in their care and go the extra mile to provide a comfortable safe and clean environment, in a professional, and positive way. Nothing is too much trouble there is always a can-do attitude. The food is lovely the entertainment is plentiful, varied and exceptionally good. There is ample opportunity for us to talk with the staff offsetting any worries or join in with the activities and support our son. He phones us full of excitement, especially on Fridays - Happy Hour, Fish and Chips and Friday is his favourite day. The staff also sit and talk with him making sure his needs are met as sometimes it takes him a while to remember what he wants to say. We are indebted to the matron and her wonderful staff.

Mum was a resident for nine years. In her final months, Mum was not able to wash, dress or feed herself. The wonderful staff cared for all her needs with compassion and love. During her final days, they made her comfortable and kept her peaceful. The staff were outstanding in the way that they cared
and often popped in to say hello or sit with Mum for a few minutes. Thank you to all our Andover Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Andover Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.945 for Andover Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.945
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Andover Nursing Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
