Care shaped around you

When considering care for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to find a place that values you for the unique person that you are. At Barchester, our dedicated teams seek to understand more than care needs. We get to know each person’s life story, passions and preferences to shape their care, support and experiences.

Meaningful moments

We believe it’s important to find joy, purpose and fulfilment in each day, whatever that looks like for you. Whether it’s enjoying your favourite hobby, joining a group activity or being supported to try something new, we’re always finding ways to nourish the mind, body and soul. With close connections with our local communities we’re able to bring the outside in, as well as planning regular trips to places of local interest.

Whitewater Place Care Home

We visited Whitewater Place on Wednesday evening this week as part of their launch events programme. We were really impressed with the superb quality of the building, its facilities, its decor and the staff. Whitewater Place had beautiful outdoor spaces with gardens, patios and areas to sit and enjoy the views, but the indoor environment took our breath away. Every room has the feel of a luxury hotel. The decor and the furnishing are first class: the bedrooms are spacious, all with well-appointed en-suite bathrooms, TVs and comfy furniture and a view of the gardens. There are lovely lounges, dining rooms, a cafe area, a spa room and a cinema room.
The staff were all so welcoming and helpful, and are clearly very experienced in delivering high-quality care to their residents. And it was good to hear that they will be working hard to engage with the local community, which is a major part of their vision, and a programme of events available for people and businesses in the area.
This looks like being a really positive addition to Odiham.

Adlington Manor Care Home

My dad, Gordon, is a resident at Adlington Manor, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the care he has received for the last 18 months

The staff are kind, compassionate, and always treat Gordon with dignity and respect and with some banter thrown in there. They take the time to get to know the residents as individuals, which makes a real difference to both residents and their families. The team are approachable, professional, and always willing to answer any questions or provide updates.

The home itself is clean, comfortable, and welcoming,

Knowing that my dad is safe, well cared for, and supported by such a dedicated team gives me and my mum great peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Adlington Manor for the care, patience, and kindness you show every day.

Fountains Care Home

This is a wonderful care home with lovely staff who show warmth and kindness. My stepdad recently spent a week with the team in respite so my mum could have a break. From the moment we arrived the team were very welcoming, attentive and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and my stepdad is already looking to returning for a week in September. He really enjoyed the food and activities, highly recommend.
