My mother has advanced dementia and so needs constant care and attention. She is very calm and content at St Cross and very well looked after. The staff are all very kind and caring.
27 January 2026
My grandmother was always scared about moving into care but when I visit her I can see she is very happy and loved by all the staff. Everyone is very focused on giving her the best level of care available.
26 January 2026
I had been my mother's primary carer for 8 years and was concerned about her care once she had deteriorated and I could not look after her anymore. St Cross Grange is an excellent facility and have provided her with excellent care in a kind and loving environment. She has advanced dementia but is
happy and content thanks to the superb staff. I cannot praise them enough.

We needed to find a nursing home urgently for my 93 year old mum after a significant fall. St Cross Grange were brilliant from the start. Everyone in the team has made mum feel welcome and we feel very supported as a family. All the staff are approachable and friendly and we feel that mum's new
nursing needs are being very well accommodated.

My husband received the highest quality of nursing and personal care until he passed away. Their support was beyond amazing. The home even invested in a new special bed in order to aid his comfort and safety in his last few weeks.
12 January 2026
So impressed with all the staff. Attentive, approachable, honest and professional. Whenever any issues are needed to be discussed they are dealt with quickly and politely. It is also clear that all the staff know my Dad personally. Thank you.

My husband Harry has been at St Cross since August 2024. I have been 100% happy with his care. They are always ready to listen.

Having spent four weeks in hospital it was an absolute joy to come to St Cross Grane. It felt like coming home to family. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly.
09 October 2025
From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with smiles, help and care. All departments go above and beyond to make St Cross Grange feel like home. My husband and I came here for a short break and were so happy we extended it for two extra weeks.

We originally booked my mother into St. Cross for respite a year ago while we were on holiday, she really enjoyed the company and security so much, that she asked if she could stay! Which came as a welcome surprise to me and the family.
She still enjoys a certain amount of independence, choosing
what and where she eats, what activities she takes part in etc.
There's always a warm and friendly welcome from all of the staff when we visit and I'm pleased to say mum is still very happy a year on. All credit to the staff and management at
St Cross Grange.

My Dad was a resident for 6 months and was receiving end of life care. I visited approximately 30 homes in the process of finding somewhere for both of my parents, so I have a good idea of what's available. I have direct experience of another care home in Winchester, and the contrast is stark.
St
Cross is beautifully decorated and has zero atmosphere . Housekeeping and carers are wonderful. Reception ignore your arrival more often than they look up and say hello. The food sounds great on paper, but is overcooked. More specifically it did not meet my Dad's needs. The team appeared to be doing something about it only for me to have to repeat the same conversation mutliple times.
The leadership and lack of focus is what lets this place down, and the utter lack of empathy. Within an hour of being told of my Dad's death the nurse was chasing me about funeral plans at the direction of the General Manager. Incredibly insensitive treatment and I would not recommend this for your loved ones.

Staff are polite. The food is excellent with a brilliant chef. I have enjoyed my short stay.

My mum came to St Cross Grange for end of life care. The admission process was straightforward and arranged promptly. She was made to feel at home immediately. Both my mum and her many visitors enjoyed the welcoming and calm atmosphere that prevails throughout the home. She felt very well cared
for, day and night ( night time cups of tea were very welcome!)She loved the food and the staff who took such trouble preparing it for residents. The catering staff also went out of their way to accommodate the dietary requirements of her visitors. The turn around time for laundry amazed her-usually returned the same day, and always with a smile and a chat from the domestic staff. She felt safe in the knowledge that when medical problems arose appropriate advice was sort and acted upon promptly. As family we too were made to feel welcome and part of the St Cross Grange community.
I know my mum would have no hesitation in recommending this home.
13 August 2025
The staff whether care staff, nurses, cleaners, catering staff and management are kind, caring, helpful and very understanding of my husband's deteriorating condition. They are also very considerate of my position as a wife and look after my interests as well. Since new management took over the home
has become a happy place for residents and families.
18 July 2025
The improvement in Dad has been amazing since his arrival from hospital last year. The manager and her staff are always so professional & attentive. Nothing is too much trouble and they always go above & beyond with the care of our father.
18 July 2025
I visited a number of care homes over a period of time before my wife came into St Cross, initially for respite care at the end of May, but has recently become a resident. The home was extensively refitted last year and reopened in August, and looks and feels like a high-quality hotel. But it is the
care that is important, and I am very happy and reassured that she is in good hands. Management and staff are all really empathetic, proactive and supportive. For example, I get an unsolicited update on how my wife is on the day, the moment I walk into reception. There is a family atmosphere within the home - across, residents, their family members and staff. Although it is early days, I feel confident she is in the right place.

They did a wonderful job looking after my father. Excellent, truly caring staff and a lovely quiet place. Always kept clean and tidy and reassuring to visitors. It made a very difficult time easier; thank you.
09 May 2025
My mother initially came to St Cross for respite care but is very happy and content and is now a permanent resident. She feels very well cared for, she enjoys the food, loves the fact her washing is done, she really likes the staff and also enjoys the company of others. From her family's point of
view, the whole experience at St Cross has been exemplary. We can visit at any time (and do!) and everyone is welcoming and helpful. Communications have been excellent and it has been a weight off our minds to know my mother is safe; she has improved immeasurably since living at St Cross in all respects, physically & mentally. We would recommend St Cross to anyone seeking care for themselves or a relative.
02 May 2025
After a few initial teething troubles this home has turned into just that- a lively, comfortable home from home. The staff are truly amazing, the facilities and activities really outstanding. The general ambiance is kind, supportive and comfortable.
