Alston House Care Home

My Mother only spent a few months at Alston House as she was terminal. From the moment I contacted this home we were both treated with dignity and they made the process so much easier. They cared for Mum and me during Mum's last days so well, attentive to all our needs with a positive 'can do' approach. I am so relieved I chose well for Mum a home that was always bright, welcoming and a real tonic in what was a difficult time for us. Well done to all the wonderful staff at Alston House.

As a family, we are never in any doubt as to the level of care that mum is receiving. I would highly recommend Alston House. From the moment we first looked around, we were made to feel welcome and part of the family.

Very impressed with the standard of care which my mother received in January/February 2025. It was the perfect place for her to regain her strength following a hospital stay. The staff were friendly. The food tasty and the whole environment enabled he to regain her confidence. Another pus - her clothes were not ruined in the laundry as I have seen happen in other home.

Alston House in Eastleigh is an excellent provider, looking after both my parents in law for 18 months to date. The care is exemplary with the staff showing a real and genuine kindness to the residents. I'm truly grateful we made the decision to use Alston House.

Our aunt was in desperate need of care very quickly and having phoned Alston House, who were so helpful and offered to show me around the following day, then made arrangements for her to come the day after. It was such a relief. We have found the standard of care and cleanliness brilliant. Every member of staff is cheerful and helpful. Our aunt is taken out on trips, for walks and has good in house entertainments. There is great outdoor garden space which is available too. I recommended Alston House to a friend who has also moved her relative in and is delighted. Thank you to all the members of staff for your hard work and care.

Like the adverts state, this is not just a care home , it is so much more. From the minute I first visited, the staff were as caring as family. The whole place is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Nothing is too much to ask. The food is very appetising. All the facilities are well thought through. My uncle has moved in and hasn't stopped smiling. He has told me repeatedly that he wished to stay at Alston House which is incredible as, until now, he wanted to stay at home. Visiting him is an equally welcoming experience. Thank you to all the team.

We couldn't recommend Alston House high enough with words. Just a huge "Thank You" for looking after our very precious Mum and wife.

The homemakers are so friendly and I find that whatever mu question, the answer is 99% 'Yes'.

Having been at another care home we moved Dad here and the difference is amazing. The staff respect the residents and the different activities on offer keep the residents busy. They are also on top of medical treatment and if there are any changes they will let the family know. All of the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much effort. They are always quick to help when assistance is needed. The residents all eat together for lunch and supper and the menu on offer is flexible and offers choices for the residents and always looks good and very nutritious. My father has settled in so well and this is all down to all of the staff.

We can't thank everyone at Alston House enough for everything you did for Mum.

Mam was a resident at Alston House Care Home for 9 weeks before she sadly passed away. All the staff showed nothing but compassion for Mam and showed empathy. The staff were so friendly both to Mam and her family. I would strongly recommend Alston House.

This is a fantastic home. The home is beautiful, just like a hotel with wonderful facilities, the residents really enjoy the activities and there is always something going on! The gardens are beautiful and really accessible. The menu is varied and Gran really enjoys her mealtimes. The staff are really friendly and really interact with Gran. The home is clean, comfortable and has everything there. What a wonderful team I couldn't praise them enough. Gran is treated with dignity and respect and her choices and preferences are always respected.

Expensive but one gets what one pays for. I just hope that my bank account dies after I do!

Our mum is settling into Alston House very well. She is receiving excellent care by the nurses and the homemakers. She said that she likes the relaxed atmosphere and the organised activities every day. Her favourite time is when she can help with planting in the garden. She loves being outside when the weather is sunny and warm. Our mum also enjoys listening to music, singing and joining in with the music and movement class. Recently we had afternoon tea outside to remember the events of D-Day and the sacrifice made by so many. A singer entertained us with songs to join in with. It was a lovely afternoon.

My mum spent four weeks respite at Alston House Care Home after several weeks in hospital. The care and support she received from all the staff was second to none. They are kind, thoughtful, encouraging and caring and, despite her initial reluctance to spend time in a care home, she had a happy and stimulating stay. There is a good variety of daily activities and my mum enjoyed the pamper afternoons and having her nails done. She also enjoyed the variety of food offered in the restaurant each day. It was nice to be able to pop in and have a coffee with her in the bistro area. Thank you to everyone at Alston House for looking after my mum so well.

It's a traumatic time to commit the daily care of a loved one into the hands of someone else, but having seen the way that the staff at Alston House operate, I have full confidence that I have made the right decision.

I would highly recommend this facility to people whose loved ones require great care and attention.

My parents joined Alston House not long after it opened and were instantly made to feel so welcome and so cared for. They also felt they had a voice and were listened to when they wanted to discuss anything to do with their care. My mum became quite ill, with limited mobility and struggling to eat. One of the wonderful chefs went to so much trouble to not only puree the food but present it beautifully. Mum sadly died in hospital before Christmas and the staff could not have been more considerate and supportive, to me as much as to my dad. One of the lovely nurses, one of many lovely nursing staff, even offered to help my dad during a hospital visit on her day off. The management at Alston House is also very approachable and helpful. I would highly recommend Alston to anyone who has a much-loved family member who needs daily care, delivered with humour and affection.

My sister is very content and settled having been anxious and troubled. The home has played an instrumental role in this making her daily life enjoyable and safe. Thank you.

My sister had to go into dementia care, and having seen a selection of homes in the area, we knew immediately that Alston House was the one we wanted her to be placed in. Having been shown around by one member of staff, we were delighted by all aspects, from the furnishings, staff, care given, the rooms and the fact that nothing seemed too much trouble to arrange. My sister has settled very well, and we can see a marked improvement in her, although her dementia will always be with her. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas day lunch with her, with first-class meals being served, and again had a family lunch in the private dining room a few days later with her son and granddaughter. Nothing was too much trouble, and we had not seen my sister look so well for many months. Thank you to all the staff who are doing such a magnificent job here at Alston House.
