Warm and friendly staff. The staff are kind and caring in the unit, they listen to relatives and try to accommodate their needs. Staff are respectful of residents, they knock on their doors before entering. Food great and a variety of choices is good. Cakes delicious!

Standard of care and availability of carers varies at times. Usually good, though recent staff turnover hasn't helped.

The care staff at Winchester House were amazing; always pleasant, thoughtful and respectful of our mum.
The nurse in charge of her unit was especially helpful and we came to trust her judgement about Mum's presentation totally.

The care home is presented well, is clean and tidy. It offers residents a place to walk freely and utilise the floor space of the home. It has a very homely feel and there are nurses stations in the right places. Overall the care my grandmother received was good, but towards the end of her life there, the standard of her care began to slip. We would often visit and the jugs of juice in my grandmother's room would have a layer of thick mould on the top which would indicate it had been there for a couple of days. We raised this with nurses but they were unable to explain how this had happened. It is important for people of all ages to stay hydrated and unfortunately, my grandmother was sometimes overlooked when it came to water. We realised it could have been because her ability to swallow was not as good as it should have been, but they had the sponges on sticks which are for sucking on so residents intake of water is more controlled but so they are still receiving water.
Excellent care package. Staff treat residents with dignity and compassion. A good variety of entertainment to stimulate the residents.

My father came to live at Winchester House 8 weeks ago following a fall. He requires 24hr care as he also has vascular dementia. I was delighted there was a place for him as my mother had received specialised care between 2014-2016. We as a family were already aware of the facilities and the high standard of care provided by management and staff. My father has settled in well. His room is well appointed and comfortable, he enjoys all the meals and takes part in the well organised social activities. All members of staff seem sincere and committed to providing residents with dignified care.
We were very impressed with our welcome pack of coffee, tea and beverages brought to us on dad's first day.

My father was a resident of this home through 2015 & 2016. Winchester House helped us in a difficult situation by accommodating my father when he had an unscheduled spell in hospital and had to move to a nursing care home. The positives ended there. My father was inclined to sing loudly, and for this reason, was placed at the far end of the home. This we can understand. However whilst the facility was good, the care was woeful. He was supposed to be checked hourly, yet the sign in sheet showed he had been left alone for up to five hours on several occasions. We once found him wet and unchanged with another resident sitting on him. Other residents would enter his room and take his possessions. This could be fixed by a child gate. Some individual staff members were good but had insufficient time to properly tend to residents. Staff/resident ratio was poor. At times were openly lied to regarding my father's care. Management was not interested. Facility stank every time we visited.
This care home was chosen following much research and many visits to other care homes and both the management and staff here have been very sympathetic and understanding.

The installation is often incomplete and does not help the individual need of the patient.

The transferring of my mother from her home to Barchester Winchester House Care Centre was a process that none of our family was looking forward to. The staff at Barchester Winchester House Care Centre from the management to the care assistants were very sympathetic and caring which made the whole ordeal much less traumatic than we had feared. Since then, my mother has been well cared for, and she has settled in. She really enjoys the regular activities and joins in with these but would like to see these extended over the weekends as well. They have managed her medications well and she is much calmer now. Whenever we visit, always unannounced, she is very clean and well dressed and now loves the regular hairdressing, nail painting and chiropody that are provided. Always a fussy eater, we have found that she now eats a much more varied diet than previously and looks forward to her meals.

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.
I joined Winchester House in December 2022 and love working in care. It is rewarding to support residents and their families from enquiry to admission to the home and throughout their stay with us.

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.
I have previous experience working in facilities management within prisons and schools. I am enjoying making the home safe, comfortable and running smoothly for our residents and staff.

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.
