I honestly don't know what I would have done for the past 6 months without this amazing home and the exceptional staff that work there. They went over and beyond on a daily basis to look after my mum. Thank you to all of you for your support, compassion and kindness.

My brother was resident at the Andover Nursing Home for nearly two years. It was such a relief to know that he was being cared for by kind, compassionate staff who were so supportive to him and the wider family. I was always kept informed of any changes in his condition and the nursing staff were readily available to answer any questions about his health and medication. His room was clean, bright and comfortable and all the staff were pleasant and professional at all times, treating him with dignity and respect. When he passed away in June 2026 all the staff were really considerate and helpful which made a sad time more bearable. Thank you for providing such excellent care.

The Andover Nursing Home team looked after my father for just over a year, until he sadly passed away this month, June 2026. When choosing a home for my father, I studied the CQC site, and the Outstanding rating of the Andover Nursing Home stood out to me - it is well deserved. The staff are all so friendly and professional, and truly look after their residents like they are part of their extended family. My father arrived after a serious fall and was generally in very low spirits. His time in Andover Nursing home lifted him immeasurably and he so very much enjoyed his time with the staff and other residents. He never failed to mention his lovely ensuite room - something he had never enjoyed before in his life. The Andover Nursing Home made my dad's final months so much more bearable for him, and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review, it is very much appreciated and it means so much to our dedicated staff. It was a pleasure to look after your father, he was very much part of our extended family.

Searched for a nursing home for my 98 year old mother. First impressions of Andover Nursing Home on meeting staff were very positive and focused on providing care, which meant a lot to me. Everyone has been easy to deal with, and nothing is too much trouble. Mum has settled quickly and well, she has already said she is very happy at the home. Andover Nursing Home delivers in all aspects of service provision, and most of all, provides excellent care from a superb team.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are one big team which strives to provide consistent holistic care across every department in the home, positive reviews mean so much to everyone that works in the home, thank you.
Mum moved to Andover Nursing Home 9 months ago, to the dementia floor. The staff always treated her with patience, kindness and respect and as an individual. They kept me informed of medication changes, health concerns etc and I was always able to pop in to the nurses office for updates or if I had...
When mum passed away suddenly, everyone was very supportive and respectful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, Mum was an absolute pleasure to care for. Reviews mean so much to all the staff and I will pass on your review to everyone throughout the home.

I would like to submit this review because I am so thrilled by the way in which my mother is looked after since moving into Andover Nursing Home in December! From our initial welcome to the ongoing care, the staff have been nothing short of exemplary. Like many others, my mother had come to the stage in life when she realised she needed to move into a nursing home but it was still a difficult decision to make to leave her home that she has lived in since it was first built! I know it helped that my mother had been a volunteer in this home for a couple of years previously, so this, understandably, made it a little easier. However, the staff have really made her feel welcome, safe, and cared for, which means so much to my brother and myself. Being a sociable person, my mother is delighting in getting to know other residents as well as staff and is always keen to tell me what's been happening since my last visit. In short - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you so much for your review, such lovely words for our amazing staff. Reviews mean so much to all the staff across the home, its a team effort and I shall pass on your comments to all the staff.

My mum sadly passed away last week, but for more than three years she chose to reside at Andover Nursing Home. Throughout her time here, mum enjoyed all aspects of the home but especially liked the kindness, care and professionalism of all the staff. As a family, we take great comfort that our decision to not admit mum to the hospital, but to leave her settled and looked after by such a fabulous team, was definitely the best thing we could have done. Our sincere thanks to absolutely everyone.
Thank you so much for your review, much appreciated and I will make sure all the staff see your kind words. Thank you.
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.

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
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.
Very clean and tidy and have no restrictions on visiting times.

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.
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...
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.
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.

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.

We really appreciate you taking the time to write this review. It was a privilege to nurse your father and to support the family, please pop in if you are ever passing.
The most efficient, compassionate and relaxing environment. The best-run care home I've visited and considering I have worked in the industry I have very high standards. The staff are very knowledgable and flexible of needs. I would live here if I could! They make our visits so easy and happy!
