Thank you for your feedback. It is important for us to know that you are happy with the care that we provide to your friend.
My only criticism is that the furniture and carpet in Mum's room are rather dated, albeit still serviceable.

We would certainly recommend this home to anyone if you intend to place your loved one into care.
Thank you so much for your valued feedback on the care your wife has received in her seventeen years of residing in the home. It is always a pleasure to look after your wife.
The home is excellent. Staff are also kind, helpful and caring. I feel this is my home - also they care, and I feel safe and happy. Have enjoyed many trips and indoor/in-house activities. Have made many friends while I have been here. The food is very good, and you have choices.

My mother is over 98 years old. I think she suffers from a lack of interaction. I am the only family member and visit as often as I can (three/four times a week). My mother is bed-bound and therefore takes no part in any of the activities. Her eyesight and hearing are fading. Her only remaining enjoyment is her television which I admit she has quite loud. Carers frequently turn the volume down. When I have visited, I have seen the food left on her table but Mum is still reclined in her bed and unable to reach or cut the food. Meals have been left whilst she is asleep so that when she wakes up it is cold and inedible.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, this will be addressed by the team. Please be reassured that the home has bedroom programs. I will be able to discuss this with you.
My husband was looked after so well, he was clean and fed well. I couldn't have picked a better home for him. The carers were really good to him.

An emergency arose which required my immediate admission to hospital. The manager of the care home agreed to collect my wife for when I am the cover and did so the next morning. My wife is 88 years old, blind and of limited movement. Ten weeks in the home and she is comfortable, happy, well fed and secure. She dines and chats to other residents, listens to music (and sings along) and is better cared for than when she is at home with me.
I would like to say thank you for your valued feedback, we are always happy to assist family as much as we can. I am glad to see that you are recuperating well as well. It's a pleasure to look after your wife.
What stands out most of all is the whole team's responsive, prompt and efficient communication and...

The residents are well looked after, the facilities are modern, comfortable and clean. The surroundings are beautiful and well cared for.
Thank you for your valued feedback and appreciation of the team.
There is very little stimulation for the residents in La Farage Unit. Even the wifi for the residents in that unit is sketchy at best. All look great in the hall with a list of things that should be happening but the reality is very different.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry if you have felt that the stimulation is not enough in one of our units. We do try to have various activities that will cater for the resident's needs and this reflects on our activity planner. Families/visitors are also welcome to join our activities. I can only reassure you that we do take feedback seriously and we will continue to strive.
Could not ask for a better care home to look after my 90-year-old father. The care and attention are beyond all expectations. He thoroughly enjoyed his respite stay and I could relax knowing he was being looked after well.

My father went directly into the home from the hospital after a series of falls caused by his Lewy Body dementia. Sadly he died after only one month in Winchester House Care Home. However, the home made an excellent impression even in such a short time. Dad's comfort and dignity were paramount. All of the staff were kind, respectful, supportive and very caring. On behalf of the whole family, I would like to thank Winchester House for their hard work.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, I have shared this with our team.
My brother and I searched a lot of care homes and this is by far the best. The staff are wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly. The residents are very happy in Marconi and welcome new residents and family and friends.

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 am now proud to be the Non-Clinical Deputy Manager at Winchester House as well as the Palliative Care Champion. 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. When I came to England, I joined Barchester Healthcare as a career and worked my way up from registered nurse to Unit manager.

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. Beyond my professional qualifications, I am an enthusiastic and driven individual with a passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others.

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.
