Barchester St Thomas Care Home is set in the heart of the Basingstoke community in close proximity to the town centre and within walking distance to both rail and bus links.
As you enter this home you will see a stunning Chapel dating back to 1885. This is now used for functions and is available for residents and families to use for social gatherings. Carers pride themselves on providing highly trained dementia care to residents, tailoring the care to meet their individual needs as they appreciate that no two people are the same.
The care team consists of Registered Nurses and carers who are all experienced in caring for residents with various stages of dementia and complex nursing needs. All rooms are individual and offer en-suite facilities. The home is also very fortunate to have well-established secure internal garden with a colourful courtyard garden.
Each day there is a full activities programme facilitated by a dedicated activities team. Activities are arranged to suit the interests of residents and can vary from group to individual programmes.

Hello, my name is Jenny, and I am the General Manager at St Thomas’. I joined the St Thomas team in September 2024 and have experience managing both nursing and residential care homes. My passion for caring for people living with dementia began around eight years ago. At St Thomas, I aim to create a safe and loving environment for those living with dementia while promoting choice and encouraging independence.
In 2020, I completed a Diploma in Management in Health and Social Care, and in 2023, I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Care. In 2025, I completed a Level 7 qualification in Senior Leadership.
I take pride in fostering a positive working culture and aim to inspire the St Thomas team to reach their full potential within Barchester through education, practical experience, and mentoring. At St Thomas, we have a highly skilled team of care, nursing, and ancillary staff.
As General Manager, I strive to empower the team to provide high-quality, person-centred care while ensuring our residents’ lives are fulfilled, regardless of physical limitations.
St Thomas has a fantastic activity team that ensures every day is different in our home, offering an extensive array of events and life enrichment opportunities. Our activities team is always looking for new and innovative ways to promote independence and enjoyment.
At St Thomas, we understand that having a loved one in a care home can be a challenging time. Therefore, we welcome families and friends into the home like family, and our staff are always on hand to support relatives through what we know can be a confusing experience.

Hello, I’m Sony and I am the Deputy Manager here at St Thomas. I have been working with the team here since 2023, and I truly enjoy working with such a fantastic team and caring for the wonderful residents living here at St Thomas.
