Challoner House is an excellent care home that I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe, caring and enjoyable enviroment for their loved one. My mother is extremely happy there. The staff are kind, supportive & efficient and exceptionally caring.
I know my mother is safe and looked after
here. I can't recommend it highly enoguh.

Mum settled in much quicker than I thought. The staff care for her very well. They ensure she is clean and tidy, she has her medicine and the food is hot and nutritious. The activities are appropriate.

Very happy Mum is at Challoner House. She is well looked after by all the staff, who are, without exception, lovely, kind, caring and attentive. Mum has been very happy since coming here in August 2024. Had an issue with mum receiving funded nursing care, but management pursued this, and it has all
been sorted.

My grandmother has been a resident for a few years and within that time she has always been treated so well!
All the staff genuinely care. I am only able to visit every so often due to not being based in Hampshire, and it is so lovely to see the staff popping their head in to see how she is whilst
we are there.
Thank you!

I came to Challoner House for a two week stay following a major operation to replace my left knee.
My experiance was very good, I felt cared for and most of the staff were empathetic - I appreciate that shortness of staff is an issue, so it is difficult to get an immediate response (at times).
I
have one suggestionto make - There is no food or hot drink offered between 5.30 pm and 9 am the next day. Sometimes if you ask you can get a drink. But it is an awfully long time, and less articulate patients will not ask!

My brother was admitted to Challoner House Care Home after being in a different care home and hospital. The care he received here was amazing. Such a difference from the previous care home.
The staff are all amazing and looked after my brother during his last few weeks before his passing. Thank you
so much

In one word , my experience of the whole care package is "exemplary". Having been a carer of my wife for over 20 years, I am well aware of the tasks facing a carer. Challoner House carehome fully met the requirements I expected. All the staff, from the cleaners to the managers were polite, cheerful
and mostly accessible. The food was excellent!

The care that my Mum has received over the last year has been exemplary. Without exception, each of the carers and nurses that have looked after my Mum have treated her with dignity, kindness and compassion. I know it is in the job title, but it is obvious that they really do CARE about everything
that they do for her. Mum has also been given the opportunity for social interaction at the huge variety of activities that are put on for the residents and this has been a great benefit to her. My Mum's and my family's experience at Challoner House Care Home has been excellent. We have been made to feel welcome and at home at Challoner and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

When trying to accommodate the needs of our parents to remain in their own home, we reached a critical point. Despite all visiting agencies being good in their own right, managing it all became impossible. And so, with heavy hearts, we searched for a care home to look after them. We reached out to
places that could assist them both to have a good quality of life whilst leaving their own home behind.
Along with others, we looked at Barchester Challoner House Care Home in Chandler's Ford, it gave us a good feel factor, staff were kind and sympathetic. It felt clean and looked after.
After a week of settling in, which must have been hugely traumatic for them, they became very positive about aspects of their experience. They now had 24-hour care and medical support always at hand. Mum was a chatterbox who got on well with staff. Dad is always up and dressed into a wheelchair to spend time with Mum or activities as he chooses.
A care home is largely only as good as all who work there and the way they are manager. It was an excellent experience for the last three months of their lives.

This very attractive care home is an absolute pleasure to visit. On arrival you're met by very happy and welcoming staff with refreshments available if required. The rooms - leisure, dining and bedrooms are all of a very high standard, and there's a full programme of entertainment and activities
each week for the residents - plus sometimes the opportunity for a trip out. The gardens and grounds, kept immaculate, are an added bonus in the summer. My aunt is so happy there, and is always very complimentary about the food. So all in all an absolute gem - somewhere I'd have no hesitation to book for myself.

My husband was admitted for the last week of his life for palliative and nursing care. He was treated with all possible care and attention and I felt confident leaving him in the care of the staff at Barchester Challoner House Care Home.
I was made welcome by all and able to visit at any time. I
would recommend Challoner House to anyone needing this level of nursing and care.

Ever since we got my aunt into Barchester Challoner House Care Home, it was found to be a very good care home. My aunt seems quite happy there. The staff are nice and are really great with residents and visitors. My aunt also loves their meals and desserts.

We are very pleased with the care my mum gets at Barchester Challoner House Care Home. The staff are professional, kind and caring and they treated difficult situations with humour. They go over and above and do small things that make all the difference.
