Tucked away in a quiet residential area just half a mile from Fareham town centre, Hartwell Lodge offers a peaceful place to call home. The home provides a full range of care – including residential, dementia, palliative, respite, and day care – all under one roof, with compassion at its core.
Hartwell Lodge is often described as feeling like one big family – a sense of connection that’s reflected in daily life throughout the home.
Each bedroom is individually decorated and features its own en-suite, providing both comfort and privacy. The conservatory dining room is filled with natural light, and two lounge areas offer space to unwind or enjoy time with others – one ideal for quiet relaxation, the other a welcoming hub for games, music, and conversation.
Daily activities are a central part of life at Hartwell Lodge. From tea-tasting afternoons to visits from a local beekeeper, the programme is varied and designed to bring joy and meaning. For those who prefer a quieter pace, one-to-one sessions can be arranged in the privacy of their own room.
Meals are freshly prepared on-site by experienced cooks, with menus tailored to personal preferences and dietary requirements – home-style cooking, made with care.

Everyone is always welcoming when we arrive and the other residents say hello. It's lovely to have our family member close by and be able to see her often. She seems very happy and settled into her new home which is amazing to see.

Thank you for your review, family and visitors are an imperative part of our residents well being so you are always welcome.

We were so pleased that we managed to get Mum into Hartwell Lodge as we had to move her down here from Scotland it was such a sad time as our dad passed away and he was her carer, most of the family lived down and around Fareham and mum and dad did before they moved to Scotland 20 years ago and she is very happy here and has found new friends to chat with, all the staff are very friendly and helpful and caring towards her and we can see a difference in her health since she's been here as well, all the staff take good care of her and they've always got activities for them to join in with if they want to.
Thank you for your kind words, Mum has settled so well and has been a real support network for the friends she has made.
The bedrooms...
The bedrooms and all the shared living facilities are beautifully decorated, clean and tidy. All the staff are so friendly and passionate about the job they do, nothing is too much trouble for them and they go out of their way to make sure every resident is well cared for.
Thank you for your lovely review, we pride ourselves on our homely surroundings and welcoming and comforting environment. We are happy to be able to provide tailor-made care for Mum.

We had a very traumatic start to the year followed by several months of worry and stress with Mum being pushed from pillar to post and then we found Hartwell.
The manager is amazing, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and so understanding. Immediately ‘taking charge’ and guiding us to get Mum to her happy place. The road was bumpy at first but has got smoother week by week and we can now relax and start to step back knowing that Mum is safe, cared for and happy. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, it was very difficult to see what Mum and your family went through but there was light at the end of the tunnel and Mum is doing very well. Thriving within herself and her new routines.
My godparents moved to Hartwell Lodge in March 2024. The manager and all her staff were very helpful to me and very kind to my godparents when they moved into the home. The room they have is lovely and they have made it very homely for them.

Thank you for your kind review, creating a home from home for our residents is paramount to ensure all care given is tailor-made. Your God Parents have settled very well, it is a pleasure.

The residents always have something to get involved in and friendly staff to chat to.
I can't thank them enough for the help and support they give me too, as they totally understand how hard the decision is to put a loved one into someone else's care.
Thank you for your kind review; it is a real pleasure to get to know Mum. She is a wonderful member of our extended family. You are a very dedicated family and we love having you visit and support us.
The staff bent over backwards to help and point us in the right direction.
The entertainment lady has been so helpful.
I cannot fault Hartwell in any way or form.

Thank you for your kind words, we are so happy Dad has found us! Finally settled.
Mum was only at Hartwell for 12 days but all the staff could not have treated her any better if she had been with them for years. Her last days were made very comfortable and we were all treated with respect. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words, we were so happy you chose us for Mum. It was a pleasure.
Mum is very happy here. The care home staff have been very kind, and the manager was very helpful in getting Mum from hospital to safety with them. So much so that Mum is happier than she was at home and is considering staying long-term.

Thank you for your kind review; we were so glad we could support Mum in coming to us so quickly, and working with the other team made it a smooth process. Mum is a lovely lady, and we are so happy to welcome her.
Hartwell Lodge Care Home is a fabulous and caring place for my father to reside in his twilight years. Staff are so attentive and extremely kind. I am so reassured his physical and mental health are in much better shape since he arrived.

Thank you for your review, we strive to ensure our continuity of care is at the fore front of what we do. It is a pleasure to support Dad and yourself through some recent testing times. Thank you.
Very professional and friendly staff. The food is excellent. Mum was underweight when she arrived at Hartwell Lodge Care Home, since then she’s gained weight and is now a healthy size. Very happy that Mum is getting the best care.

The manager and her team love their work and it shows in the care they provide.
Thank you for your kind review, Dad is a huge part of our family and we have gotten to know him so well. We do love our roles and the service so very much. Thank you.
All the carers are very pleasant, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile for my Dad's needs. Always checking to see if he’s okay and asking him if he wants or needs anything. Can’t fault a thing!

Having cared for our dad for a number of years the time had come when the deterioration in his Alzheimer's, no longer being able to properly care for himself and then a spell in hospital when my sister and I realised that we could no longer provide the ongoing care that he needed. Hartwell Lodge Care Home came straight to mind with one of his brothers already there. He was welcomed into the Hartwell family straight away and nothing is too much trouble for all the wonderful staff. The home is very clean, warm and comfortable and Dad now appears settled and its a huge relief to know that staff are on hand 24/7 to meet his needs. We are always warmly welcomed when visiting him and we too feel part of the Hartwell family. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review as you know The Brothers are our local celebrities and its a real pleasure to welcome you all.
Mum, who is 97 and was still living in a bungalow until just before Christmas when she became Ill and had to go into hospital. The NHS made her well enough to leave hospital but unfortunately, she could no longer live alone and she had to go into a care home. Obviously, we as a family were worried...
The whole process of getting her into the home from the hospital with the advice from the Manager was absolutely trouble-free. We believe the care she receives is superb and it would be unfair to name individuals as all the staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for them, even visitors are offered tea/ coffee and biscuits, it really is a home from home and whilst being very professional the atmosphere is not regimented in any way.
We are really pleased that we were lucky enough to get Mum into Hartwell Lodge.
Thank you so much for sharing your views and Mum's struggles, we are very pleased and happy to welcome Mum and your family into ours.
I always find everyone so friendly and helpful at the home. While I am visiting my Aunty I always fill relaxed and enjoy my visit I can only thank all the staff for making it a truly family atmosphere.

My sister moved into Hartwell Lodge in 2021, and it was so perfect for her. She loved it when we visited Hartwell. Everyone was so nice, and it remained so till the end of my sister's life. I would recomend this place very highly, as had no problems at all. The staff are all brilliant and keep you well informed of what is happening (doctors visiting my sister and so on), which stopped me from worrying. As I say, I can't fault any of the staff, very caring and they were all lovely. Thanking you for making my sister's last 12 months of her life since she went into Hartwell really happy.
Thank you for your review, Ronald; it was a pleasure to care for your sister and see you so frequently. Your sister was very important to us, and we are so glad we could fulfil her wishes and needs whilst she was with us.

So impressed with the professionalism and kindness provided by the team at Hartwell. Mum was very unsettled at first, having struggled to understand she could no longer cope at home, but is now enjoying activities with other residents and looking so much healthier and content. A huge decision for anyone to make but also a huge weight off our shoulders now we know she is safe, happy and looked after.
Thank you for your kind review, we have supported Mum to really evolve into a new way of living. To enjoy the surroundings and accept the support around her. It's an ongoing pleasure.

My father-in-law moved into Hartwell Lodge in August. We chose it after visiting several others as it was so homely and welcoming. The manager supported us through the hospital discharge process, which was far from straight forward, but we got there in the end. There are activities every day and all his social, wellbeing and care needs are well met. The staff have all been very caring and supportive, it's a huge relief to know he is safe and well care for. We have no hesitation in recommending Hartwell Lodge to others.
Thank you for your lovely review, we aim to ensure that the moving in process is made as simple and stress free as possible at such a hard time. It's pleasure to see your father in law thrive despite being poorly
My dad moved into Hartwell Lodge in May 2020. The hardest decision my sister and I have ever made. He was in a terrible state mentally and physically, but over time he has settled. He always looks clean fresh and comfy. To be honest, the best he's looked in years. He is now in bed full time, but...
My dad moved into Hartwell Lodge in May 2020. The hardest decision my sister and I have ever made. He was in a terrible state mentally and physically, but over time he has settled. He always looks clean fresh and comfy. To be honest, the best he's looked in years. He is now in bed full time, but still manages a smile and a laugh. I cannot thank Hartwell Lodge enough. It has been a huge relief to know he is safe at last. Thank you! Thankyou! Thankyou! I would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your review, we are always happy to see your vast family visit and it is so lovely to see how close you all are. Dad is a lovely gentleman and its a pleasure to support him over the years.
