I was only at Winchester House for 2 weeks respite and, on the whole, my stay was uneventful. My main complaint was the food provided and the serving thereof. For the amount I was paying, apart from breakfast, the portions were inadequate and did not always meet what was mentioned on the menu. For instance the menu stated "soup, served with roll or homemade bread." On enquiring, I was told this was never served. Sometimes salad was supposed to accompany a lunch or supper item and this would be served with chips instead. Hardly nutritious.

The main downsides are (1) location - difficult to get to & no public transport and (2) policy of not allowing residency unless evidence of two years funding which meant mum could not stay there.

Amazing place.! Dad moved here permanently after reluctantly realising he could no longer live independently. All of the staff were so welcoming and supportive and he quickly felt completely at home. As well as supporting Dad, the staff were very supportive of us as a family - nothing was too much trouble. Dad's room was lovely and nicely decorated - the whole home is maintained to a high standard and set in beautiful grounds. Dad was definitely well fed and this made a huge difference to his fitness (he put on half a stone over a four week period). Our only regret is that we could not persuade Dad to move here earlier! In the end he only had four months at Winchester House but in that short time we could see it made a huge difference to him both physically and mentally. As well as making a huge difference to the quality of his life it also meant that, as a family, we no longer needed to worry about him in the same way, as he was being looked after and enjoying life.
Thank you so much for a lovely feedback. It's our pleasure to look after your dad. I will pass on your appreciation to the team.
The Care Staff were very friendly,...
The level of care and kindness was excellent and this was emphasised when Dad passed away - the staff on duty, especially two staff members, made the day as comfortable and easy as it could be for us and we thank you again.

My mother spent just over 3 years at Winchester House. All the staff helped her feel safe and secure, which was always very important to her. There were plenty of activities arranged, which my mother always enjoyed. I would happily recommend Winchester House.

My mum spent two weeks at Winchester House for respite care following a 19-night stay in Medway Hospital. She enjoyed her time there, and all the staff were very kind and compassionate to her. She was able to get the rest and care she needed to enable her to gain her strength, and mobility and be well enough to go back to her own home. I wouldn't hesitate to place her there again should the circumstances arise.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure to look after your mum, she's a lovely lady. I hope she continue to be safe at home.
Overall: Excellent.

The home is always clean and the decor is very tasteful. There is a menu available each day with fantastic choices to choose from with an option to choose something off the menu. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support that has been given to my dad, all the staff are so friendly and happy! A must in my opinion. My dad is really happy and he has a good structured day with routine, there is also a timetable of events throughout the week that range from boat trips, crafts, games, singing and entertainment. There is always something to do. Staff are always available to answer any questions and are very knowledgeable in their roles. I was quite worried when Dad first went into residential care but I can honestly say I never worry and feel 100% confident about his welfare, safety and that his day-to-day needs are met.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am glad that your dad has settled and enjoying life in our care home.

I cannot thank every staff member enough for the support they have given us, as a family, and how they looked after Dad. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would recommend Barchester Winchester House Care Centre to anyone looking for a home which will care for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Its our pleasure to look after your dad.

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, 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.
