The Care Quality Commission (CQC) found The Andover Nursing Home to be 'outstanding' when they made an unannounced inspection in June 2019. The home undergoes virtual inspections annually and has retained its "Outstanding" rating since 2019.

The ethos of the home is founded on teamwork, strong values, inclusion, a sense of openness and the firm belief that residents deserve the very best from the place that is their home.

Every member of the team is committed to person-centred care; a holistic approach which takes into account each resident’s unique qualities, abilities, interests, preferences and needs.

The home is fitted with every modern facility.

The home has exceptionally spacious public rooms, which allows residents to join in communal activities or quietly entertain their families and friends.

Bedrooms have been purpose-built to be spacious and are equipped to provide all the comforts you might require. All bedrooms have their own wet room, television and telephone. Residents are encouraged to bring smaller items of personal furniture or other items of personal importance.

As well as giving opportunities to spend time in different locations, there are gathering places for musical entertainment, parties, talks and other activities.

My relative has been at Andover for almost 5 years and has been superbly cared for in that time. High professional standards, compassion, connection and well run behind the scenes. All the nurses are familiar with her case, and through all the challenges have been able to provide her with safety, dignity
and comfort. Thank you Andover!.

Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

I cannot fault Andover Nursing Home. There rooms, standard of cleanliness and facilities are all excellent but it is the team there that provides the biggest differentiator to other care/nursing homes I have visited. From the greeting at reception to the care provided from there on (patient and visitors)
was truly exceptional. Smiling and caring people everywhere.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The care our stepfather received over the past 4 years has been outstanding - from the initial meeting with Matron before his emergency arrival, to his gentle and peaceful final days. Andover Nursing Home became a real home to him, with the staff making sure they got to know who he was and what he liked,
and understanding his medical and wellbeing needs. Our family and visitors have been welcomed at all times, and we were kept well informed of any changes to his care. The nursing staff adapted constantly to my stepfather's slow decline in physical and mental health, respecting his dignity at all times. The link to the local doctors and surgery was professional and timely, often anticipating needs. The staff work seamlessly together as a team, always with a smile - it feels like one big family. The excellent leadership and safe environment filter down through the place, resulting in an outstanding nursing home. Thank you to all who cared for our stepfather - he loved you all!

Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am so proud of our wonderful staff, whatever their role, who always go the extra mile. We loved your stepfather and miss him. Please visit us at any time.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Looking after the elderly and infirm is something most of us have thankfully little experience of. Personally, I doubt I could do it which makes my admiration of the people who choose this as a profession all the stronger. Apart from dealing with the mucky bits and the frustrating bits and the heart
rendering caring for people who are approaching their final days, there is capacity in the Andover Care Home staff to show compassion, care and understanding. From top to bottom, this is a fantastically well-run place that repeatedly gains an Outstanding award from the CQC. Forget about all the recent criticism over a one-word assessment as in this case that one word says it all. In my view, my sister-in-law got very very lucky to find a place here. I try to express my appreciation to the staff by way of some chocolate and carrots (for matron's horses) by feeling, in comparison, my rating is inadequate, you all deserve far more. Thank you. P.S. Outstanding is only given to a very small percentage.

Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. While the chocolates and carrots are greatly appreciated, nothing means as much as your kind words. I will ensure that the staff are aware of your feedback as it really means so much to all of us. We look forward to seeing you soon.

I can't begin to explain how amazing this establishment is. My mum and I have been warmly welcomed by everyone, since walking in the door on the day we went to look round. All staff bar none are absolutely worth their weight in gold. The care they provide is sensational and it is very reassuring for
me to know and see that she is being so well cared for. I cannot thank you all enough.
To the matron and manager, please pass on my absolute gratitude for looking after Mum so beautifully.

Thank you, thank you so much for such an inclusive review, all the staff work as a team across all the departments in the home, such a positive review is so well received across the home. Sensational care is definitely something we all strive for and it was lovely to receive such a positive review. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit to the home.

My uncle has resided in Andover Nursing Home for four and a half years. He has seen Covid times and pre and post-living. The quality of the care has been fantastic in all this time. As a family, we could not have asked for more. Knowing that he was safe and looked after in such a caring way and kept
occupied by the activities staff was a great peace of mind. If asked, I would certainly recommend.

Reply from Louise Makepeace, Matron / Manager at Andover Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your review; it means a great deal to the staff, and thank you for mentioning the activities team, who work tirelessly to occupy resident's time. Feeling safe is so important; I'm extremely pleased you feel he is safe, it's so important our residents and their families feel we are safe.

Our son aged 48 has lived in Andover Nursery Home for over three years. It is unusual for a younger person to need care in a nursing home and as his parents we worried how he would fit in. He is kind and gentle and absolutely loves the happy, positive and calm nature of life there. The house is delightful,
the staff are exceptional. They are friendly and respectful to those in their care and go the extra mile to provide a comfortable safe and clean environment, in a professional, and positive way. Nothing is too much trouble there is always a can-do attitude. The food is lovely the entertainment is plentiful, varied and exceptionally good. There is ample opportunity for us to talk with the staff offsetting any worries or join in with the activities and support our son. He phones us full of excitement, especially on Fridays - Happy Hour, Fish and Chips and Friday is his favourite day. The staff also sit and talk with him making sure his needs are met as sometimes it takes him a while to remember what he wants to say. We are indebted to the matron and her wonderful staff.

Mum was a resident for nine years. In her final months, Mum was not able to wash, dress or feed herself. The wonderful staff cared for all her needs with compassion and love. During her final days, they made her comfortable and kept her peaceful. The staff were outstanding in the way that they cared
and often popped in to say hello or sit with Mum for a few minutes. Thank you to all our Andover Nursing Home.

Mum lived here for nearly 7 years and what an amazing and lovely home it has been for her. In the latter years, she was unable to respond in any meaningful way to anyone due to advanced dementia but she was loved and cherished by the fantastic staff, she remained a person to them to the very end. Mum
was treated with dignity and compassion, her every need was met, her comfort paramount. We were well supported during her final hours and the kindness and respect shown was above and beyond expectation. This is a truly excellent home with really wonderful staff and I cannot thank them enough for all they did for our much-loved Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Andover Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.938 for Andover Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.938

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Andover Nursing Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
