A great friend of ours was a resident in Winchester Heights (formerly Sunrise and Signature) for several years. During this time he became increasingly disabled, eventually being bedridden. I visited him regularly, about once a week. At all times I found that the carers looked after him very well, with
professionalism and cheery empathy. As a visitor, I found the staff always most helpful to me, and after time I regarded some of them as real friends.

Signature has been brilliant at looking after my father, and he was not an easy man. One gentleman, in particular, was amazing and couldn’t do enough. The care and attention the team offered, especially as my father's health declined, were wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to

Mum moved in for respite care but decided within days that she would like to stay permanently. She feels like she is living in a 5-star hotel. The food is lovely, and the room is spacious, bright and homely now she has her own photos and ornaments.
As a carer, I can rest easy knowing that she is being
cared for 24/7 and any emergencies will be dealt with by carers or nursing staff, who are all helpful and friendly.

Mum moved into the home earlier this year.
The whole process was extremely well handled by one lady, and at all times, her main concern was about Mum.
All the staff we have met are very friendly.
Mum is regularly checked on and was immediately made to feel at home and involved.
The care and attention
given to Mum have been excellent.

My father, who suffers from dementia, struggled with the need for care, but despite his reluctance, the staff at Signature at Winchester welcomed him with open arms. They helped him adjust to his new home whilst providing the perfect level of care for his needs. They quickly assessed what was important
to him and that he made the most of all the services that signature had to offer. He likes his room, the garden and the meals. He has even put on weight and frequently tells me how pleasant the staff and other residents are. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Both my parents have been very well cared for in Signature Winchester since February 2022. Reluctantly, we have needed to move them closer to family as we no longer have a base near Winchester.
All the staff have been very supportive and flexible in cheerfully managing their care. As a family we can't
thank you all enough for looking after them so well.

All contact with the care home was professional, respectful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. The carers were competent and empathetic and were interested in the residents as people. The receptionists and all management staff were welcoming and friendly. The facilities, outings and entertainment
were amazing, meals of a very high standard and the rooms very well equipped and clean. The home felt very safe, beautifully presented and well run.

Mum had a lovely respite stay at Signature.
The staff were all really helpful and supportive.
Mum was looked after very well and regained some of her strength and mobility.
The room that she had was very pleasant and had plenty of space.
Mum joined in with some of the activities, although she was
a bit restricted being deaf.
I would recommend Signature and the staff to others.
Thank you!

Signature is a home that we, as a family, can trust Mum not only has her needs met, but it is where Mum is genuinely loved by the staff.
Mum enjoys her room with a view over a beautiful big garden. She has an en-suite bathroom.
Mum began living downstairs, and now she lives upstairs in Reminiscence.
When Mum moved to a room upstairs, it was such a smooth transition, thanks to the staff who moved everything for us. My sister and I stayed with Mum for lunch, and when we saw the new room, everything was arranged in her room like her room downstairs. Mum felt at home immediately! We were delighted!

After viewing several care facilities in Winchester, I decided to place a 90-year-old lady with Signature for respite care after cataract surgery. Initially, this was for four weeks, but they were so accommodating and flexible that this extended several times to suit our needs. She suffers from short-term
memory problems, but this was compassionately managed so that she settled in well and was never overwhelmed or lost within the home. She was encouraged to take part in all the activities and made some good friends whilst staying there. Her initial fears about what a 'care home' would be like were blown away at the initial visit, and Signature is as far away from the stereotypical 'lino and cabbage' as is possible to be. We found it really is a 21st Century place to stay. She really enjoyed the restaurant meals, and it was nearly impossible to find her in her room to take calls on her room phone as she was always doing something enjoyable. I cannot thank them enough.

Since Mum has been resident at Signature (from March 2022), we have been very impressed with the kindness shown, the level of care provided and the attention that she has been given. She has been supported and encouraged to make like-minded friends, as well as join in activities that might interest

Mum seems to have settled in really well, and we feel confident that she is receiving the care and support that she needs, which gives her close and loving family peace of mind.

Dad moved into Signature about 9-months ago. Whilst it was a big transition, he settled in well largely due to the kindness of all the staff. This includes not only the care and nursing staff but all involved in providing an excellent care experience. You are always greeted with a smile and a friendly
word from whoever you encounter. The environment is welcoming and calm. Communication is good with staff being readily available to speak face to face and also communicate by phone and email. Dad is treated with compassion and respect. The liaison with local GPS is excellent. Huge thanks for all you do - it is greatly appreciated by all the family.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Winchester Heights Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.952 for Winchester Heights Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.952

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Winchester Heights Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 103 registered maximum number of service users is 20.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
