Mum needed extra care for her dementia and we were so impressed from the first moment we went to visit. Exceptional care from all staff, food is balanced and excellent, the whole of the building is clean, beautifully decorated and fits the needs of the residents perfectly. There are always staff on hand to ask questions and they definitely go above and beyond for the residents. Their communication with us has been very good. Activities are varied and frequent. Have. I mentioned the daily cake and coffee in the reception area?
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care received.

The staff here are incredible, I am yet to meet one that doesn't give 10/10! The cakes are to die for. The activities they put on are like nowhere else. It has a lovely welcoming feel and ALL the receptionists are absolutely incredible! My only negative is the smell of the Cathedral Square when you go upstairs. It really does hit you when you get upstairs and I'm sure it shouldn't smell that bad but hopefully something they can rectify. Otherwise it's 5 star!
Thank you for your lovely review. We will look into Cathedral Square and rectify the problem.
Mum has come in for Restbite and it feel more like a hotel the care has been second to none we are amazed at the verity and quality of the food also. Mums appetite has definitely improved. I'm thinking of trying to put my name down for the future.

My aunt sadly died recently. She had lived at Winchester House for the last 4 years where she was cared for with such compassion and kindness. She made a few special connections with staff and we felt she was with a very safe pair of hands. The nursing staff were incredibly helpful in supporting the family during her last couple of months. She enjoyed her 80th birthday party at the care home where we created so many special memories. Thank you to all at Winchester House, particularly those staff on Cathedral Unit and also front desk receptionists.

I started working at Winchester House in 2017, where I worked as a carer initially on the Memory Lane Communities, supporting our residents living with Dementia. Through my dedication and passion for person-centred care, I progressed to a Care Practitioner before taking the role of Unit Manager on the residential Communities.

I support both residents, families and colleagues, ensuring the highest standards of care. I have over 40 years of experience in the care sector.

Hi, I am the Clinical Lead Nurse. I am a registered nurse with over 25 years’ experience. I came from the Philippines in 2006, but before then I worked in the U.A.E as a general nurse.

Hi, my name is Matt Taylor, and I'm a head chef at Winchester House Care Home. I have worked in hospitality all my life. I started out working in hotels and restaurants, but I struggled with unsociable hours, so I decided to move to the care sector. I joined Barchester in 2009, and I've never looked back. I absolutely love my job, talking to the residents, and trying to find out their likes and dislikes so I can present their food exactly the way they like it. I love coming up with new ideas to surprise and delight our residents with nutritious and flavoursome home-cooked meals.

Hello! My name is Joie, and I am the La Farge Unit Nurse Manager here at Winchester House. Originally from the Philippines, I earned my nursing degree there and was qualified in 2009. In the years that followed, I gained experience as both a private nurse and a nurse in an intensive care unit. In 2022, I came to the UK. My skills, knowledge and professionalism assist me greatly in my work here at Winchester House, where my responsibilities include interacting with clients and staff and delivering high-quality care to the people who live here. I enjoy leading my team by setting a positive example for them to follow. As the La Farge Unit Nurse Manager, my unwavering commitment to providing compassionate and effective care to our residents is what drives me each day. With a deep understanding of the complexities of nursing, coupled with my hands-on experience in demanding healthcare settings, I am confident in my ability to lead my team in delivering exceptional care to those who entrust us with their well-being.

I began my career in healthcare in 2013, after being a primary teacher for 8 years. I joined Winchester House as a Healthcare Assistant. During my time in this role, I quickly developed a passion for providing care and recognised that I could contribute more significantly to the well-being of others. Driven by the desire to expand my skills and knowledge, I made the decision to pursue a nursing career and enrolled in nursing school in 2015.
After three years of rigorous study and hands-on training, I completed my nursing qualification and returned to Winchester House in September 2018, eager to put my education into practice. Since re-joining the team, I have continually grown within the organisation, and in 2020, I was proud to be promoted to the role of Senior Nurse.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering the highest standard of care, fostering a supportive environment for both staff and residents, and continuously advancing my professional development. My journey reflects my dedication to improving patient outcomes and making a positive impact on the healthcare community.

Hi, my name is Debbie, and I currently work at Winchester House as a front-of-house receptionist. I have worked at Winchester House for 8 years in a variety of roles. These include kitchen assistant and housekeeping.
When I first came to work, my biggest concern was how I would communicate with residents, having not had much experience in a care setting.
If I have learnt anything about myself, it is that I can communicate with anybody. I get to know the residents, families and all the care professionals.
I have finally found my perfect role.
