  • Barchester Challoner House Care Home, Eastleigh
Challoner House offers high-quality nursing and residential care in an un-rivalled setting located in the lovely village of Chandlers Ford, and on a direct bus route to and from Southampton.

The warmth of welcome from the team of staff can be felt the minute as soon as visitors step foot into this lovely home.

With their help and the help of the ladies and gentlemen who live with them – they really do offer a home from home. The team provides high-quality care with a caring and person-centred attitude. Their approach to nursing care is based on the use of personalised care plans. Drawn up with the individuals they support and their families, care plans will help ensure that each person they look after is treated with respect and that their independence and choice are maximised.

Professionals passion for the home can be seen in everything they do - in their cooking, hospitality, housekeeping and, of course, in organising activities for residents.

Activities make up the most important part of all their days and at Challoner House, they ensure they provide a variety that reflects the interests and capabilities of all the ladies and gentlemen they support. Full use is made of the home’s minibus and being located so close to the M3 in minutes, they can be enjoying the beautiful surrounding countryside. There are several regular group sessions – but perhaps the most popular – certainly with the ladies are regular pamper sessions.

Beautifully landscaped award-winning gardens allow residents to enjoy a high standard of outdoor living. The frequent events and parties include all residents who wish to join in and their families.

The home takes pride in the staff and residents at Challoner to make it as homely as possibly can.

My grandmother has been a resident for a few years and within that time she has always been treated so well!
All the staff genuinely care. I am only able to visit every so often due to not being based in Hampshire, and it is so lovely to see the staff popping their head in to see how she is whilst
we are there.
Thank you!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I came to Challoner House for a two week stay following a major operation to replace my left knee.
My experiance was very good, I felt cared for and most of the staff were empathetic - I appreciate that shortness of staff is an issue, so it is difficult to get an immediate response (at times).
I have
one suggestionto make - There is no food or hot drink offered between 5.30 pm and 9 am the next day. Sometimes if you ask you can get a drink. But it is an awfully long time, and less articulate patients will not ask!

The care that my Mum has received over the last year has been exemplary. Without exception, each of the carers and nurses that have looked after my Mum have treated her with dignity, kindness and compassion. I know it is in the job title, but it is obvious that they really do CARE about everything that
they do for her. Mum has also been given the opportunity for social interaction at the huge variety of activities that are put on for the residents and this has been a great benefit to her. My Mum's and my family's experience at Challoner House Care Home has been excellent. We have been made to feel welcome and at home at Challoner and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Review from Stephanie N (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When trying to accommodate the needs of our parents to remain in their own home, we reached a critical point. Despite all visiting agencies being good in their own right, managing it all became impossible. And so, with heavy hearts, we searched for a care home to look after them. We reached out to places
that could assist them both to have a good quality of life whilst leaving their own home behind.
Along with others, we looked at Barchester Challoner House Care Home in Chandler's Ford, it gave us a good feel factor, staff were kind and sympathetic. It felt clean and looked after.
After a week of settling in, which must have been hugely traumatic for them, they became very positive about aspects of their experience. They now had 24-hour care and medical support always at hand. Mum was a chatterbox who got on well with staff. Dad is always up and dressed into a wheelchair to spend time with Mum or activities as he chooses.
A care home is largely only as good as all who work there and the way they are manager. It was an excellent experience for the last three months of their lives.

This very attractive care home is an absolute pleasure to visit. On arrival you're met by very happy and welcoming staff with refreshments available if required. The rooms - leisure, dining and bedrooms are all of a very high standard, and there's a full programme of entertainment and activities each
week for the residents - plus sometimes the opportunity for a trip out. The gardens and grounds, kept immaculate, are an added bonus in the summer. My aunt is so happy there, and is always very complimentary about the food. So all in all an absolute gem - somewhere I'd have no hesitation to book for myself.

My husband was admitted for the last week of his life for palliative and nursing care. He was treated with all possible care and attention and I felt confident leaving him in the care of the staff at Barchester Challoner House Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent fourteen months at Barchester Challoner House Care Home between August 2023 and October 2024. Unfortunately, she was 90% paralysed after two strokes and needed a high level of nursing care. All of the staff were fabulous throughout, caring and attentive. When she was well enough, they got
her up into a wheelchair so she could join the other residents for activities and meals. They even managed to get her out on their bus for trips, including to the New Forest for ice cream on one occasion and on another stopping in a pub garden for a half of bitter. She particularly enjoyed the visits from entertainers and the singalongs. The home kept us informed of her medical situation and were absolutely marvellous with her when it was time to go which she eventually did peacefully in her sleep. We couldn't have asked for more.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Barchester Challoner House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.646 for Barchester Challoner House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (106 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 328 Ratings = 4.646
  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 Barchester Challoner House Care Home is based on 28 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
