Winchester’s care homes combine premium accommodation with support ranging from personal care and tailored nursing care to dementia services and short-term post-operative and respite care. Many of these homes, such as Sunnybank House and Brendoncare Meadway, are rated ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the two highest ratings, based on their overall quality of care and the enriching daily lifestyles residents enjoy.
Facilities in Winchester homes reflect that the experience goes well beyond the care provided. Think reading rooms with views across gardens, gyms and wellness suites, sensory areas, and dedicated comfortable lounges for relaxation and socialising. Some homes collaborate with museums or community groups to run workshops on local history, classical music afternoons, or creative writing classes.
These homes also place great value on family connection. Visitors are welcome, private lounges are available, and many homes offer family days and care planning meetings to keep everyone involved. This helps relatives feel part of daily life, even as care needs change over time. Many Winchester homes even accommodate couples, offering private en-suite rooms, linked suites or bespoke care plans tailored to both partners.
