My father was referred to Flowerdown for palliative care and spent his final days here. He was treated extremely well by the staff and I couldn't have been happier if he was sent anywhere else. The food was amazing and they bent over backwards to ensure he ate whatever he wanted. One word - outstanding.

The care given to my partner was extremely good, nothing was too much trouble. Every effort was made to keep him comfortable in his last days. The care and support also extended to myself and the family.

I have had no previous experience of care homes but I cannot find fault in Flowerdown. The patience of the staff and management is wonderful and the care is outstanding. As much as possible, it feels like home from home.

My wife was transferred from hospital to Flowerdown suffering from a terminal illness from which she died. During her stay, she was treated with the utmost care from a caring, friendly staff who readily attended to her needs, saw that she was nicely groomed, washed and dressed each day until her illness became too severe. She was provided with a pleasant room, always kept clean and tidy. The care provided exceeded my expectations.

My mum had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and went to Flowerdown for palliative care. The care was fantastic - I couldn’t have wished for more skilled or caring nurses and carers. These people showed her enormous kindness, had a great sense of fun and took a genuine interest in her personally. They went out of their way to help her cope with her eating difficulties and to answer her specific needs and wants so that they could make her life as pleasant as possible. They also enabled her to retain control over her treatment as well as her dignity right until the end. During her last days, they ensured Mum’s comfort and were very kind and reassuring to myself and my two cousins who were there during that time. Mum remained cheerful and smiling until her last moment of consciousness. With different care, things could have ended very differently. For us, her family, that has made an enormous difference to our memories of Mum.
I was very happy with the "End of Life" care given to my aunt. She was looked after with dignity and respect for her condition; was always kept clean and comfortable right up until the end. She had a lovely room and the staff were excellent too. Thank you everyone at Flowerdown!

Staff are very caring and supportive. My mother is treated with dignity. She has recently moved to another room which she is delighted with. The manager has been extremely helpful Refunding issues. Everyone smiles. I understand a planned refurbishment is getting underway but it is the attitude of the staff that is more important. I feel my mother is in safe and caring hands.

Our brother was at Flowerdown Care Home for almost a year before he passed on. It was such a hard time for us all as our mother had just passed on and we were all grieving. Our brother could be very difficult at times but he was treated with the utmost care and attention by everyone at the home at all times. They have a beautiful garden to sit and enjoy the wildlife and the staff are all such lovely caring people.

When my father and I made a visit to Flowerdown my reservations were completely overcome, since moving here mum has had exceptional care for her needs. My father and I try to make a visit every day and whenever we arrive we are made to feel very welcome and we know that my mother is very comfortable and happy having made relationships with the excellent staff.
As my wife has been admitted to Flowerdown Care Home at Harestock, Winchester, Hampshire, the care and attention has been one hundred percent. The staff and conditions are also included in this comment, I can find no faults.

The review relates to my Mum who was in Flowerdown for over 4 years until she unfortunately lost her battle with illness and passed away 26/12/2017. Whilst my Mum was in there, the standard of care she received was exemplary. The compassion and friendliness shown to her and us by staff was second to none. When unfortunately my Mum lost her battle, the staff went out of their way to help us in any way they could and did not rush us in any way, shape or form during our sad time. The staff became more like extended family members rather than people employed to care for my Mum. The overall service given by Flowerdown was second to none and cannot be faulted in any way. If you are looking for a care home that has employees that truly care about their residents then look no further than here. First class care from a first-class nursing home.
My father was a resident in Flowerdown Care Home from late May 2016 - January 2017 when he died. We found all the staff very helpful and empathetic. Facilities were variable but the building was being refurbished during this period so this was understandable. Food was the least impressive...
Although I appreciate leaving doors open helps staff observe residents the loud televisions either side of my father's room was an irritant. We closed the door when visiting but were often questioned by staff about this.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we welcome feedback as we continually strive to improve our service. We are very pleased that you found our staff so helpful and empathetic during what, for families, can be a stressful time. A core part of our brighterkind philosophy centres on good nutrition and the importance of mealtimes as a social occasion. Our chefs prepare restaurant-style meals combining variety with a balanced diet and an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. However, if a resident specifically asks for a meal that is not on the menu, such as pasta and chips together, we do our utmost to cater for them. Here at Flowerdown, we take the safety and well-being of our residents very seriously, and would only question the closing of a door that is normally open to ensure that the resident is well or to make sure that we comply with stringent fire safety regulations. As a home manager, I have an open door policy and if you would like to discuss the issue further I would be very happy to meet you at your earliest convenience.
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:

I have worked for the care sector in many roles for over 20 years.
My passion for gardening has been with me for many years, starting with growing vegetables and house plants when I bought my first house, followed by creating a family-friendly garden for my children.Now that the children are grown up, I'm enjoying designing a new style of garden for me and my wife, including building a summer house.
I have been gardening at Flowerdown since 2018, and the focus is to create a homely environment for the residents and their families.
I have weekly chats with the residents to discuss the current plans, my ideas and their wishes.
I have made a lot of new boarders at the front of the home and redesigned the raised beds in the back garden to include a climbing frame for new planting, which includes an area for the squirrels to feed, something that the residents enjoy.
