Fareham offers a calming setting for later-life care, with care homes that combine the ease of coastal living with access to reliable healthcare, including the Queen Alexandra Hospital. Many of these homes are near green spaces like Holly Hill Woodland Park and the Fareham Creek trail - with residents often taken on day trips to these parks for gentle walks and wildlife spotting.
Homes like The Fernes and Florence Court - both operated by the trusted Barchester Healthcare - are near Fareham’s town centre and offer first-class residential care. This respectful support focuses on looking after people who need help with tasks relating to personal hygiene, such as using the bathroom and getting dressed. This care is also available to those living with dementia, with secure, dementia-friendly settings that offer familiarity and warmth.
Some of these homes are purpose-built with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking landscaped gardens, while others are smaller and family-run, offering homely settings and familiar faces. A number of homes are designed to accommodate couples, with interconnecting rooms or shared suites, and flexible care plans that allow partners to remain together while receiving individual support.
Facilities tend to be designed with comfort and familiarity in mind. You’ll find in-house hair salons, therapy rooms, deluxe cinema rooms for movie nights, sensory areas for dementia residents, and garden-facing lounges where residents can read, socialise, or enjoy a cuppa. These gardens often have allotments or raised planters for those who enjoy gardening.
Whatever your requirements, you’re sure to find a suitable Lottie home above. Each is fully regulated and has been reviewed by our in-house Care Experts. These reviews go beyond inspection reports - focusing on the everyday experiences of residents.
