Barchester St Thomas Care Home is set in the heart of the Basingstoke community in close proximity to the town centre and within walking distance to both rail and bus links.

As you enter this home you will see a stunning Chapel dating back to 1885. This is now used for functions and is available for residents and families to use for social gatherings. Carers pride themselves on providing highly trained dementia care to residents, tailoring the care to meet their individual needs as they appreciate that no two people are the same.

The care team consists of Registered Nurses and carers who are all experienced in caring for residents with various stages of dementia and complex nursing needs. All rooms are individual and offer en-suite facilities. The home is also very fortunate to have well-established secure internal garden with a colourful courtyard garden.

Each day there is a full activities programme facilitated by a dedicated activities team. Activities are arranged to suit the interests of residents and can vary from group to individual programmes.

My mother was admitted as an emergency admission. Staff were fantastic in doing the assessment very quickly, transporting my mum to the care home and welcoming her to her room with a card and flowers.

Reply from Cosmin Tiriteu, Operations Manager at Barchester St Thomas Care Home

Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate the difficult situation you found yourself in with your mother and it was our honour to be able to support you through this time. We are so pleased that your mother has settled into our home.

I can't thank the staff at Barchester St Thomas Care Home enough. The love and care they show to my husband is wonderful.
There is no way on God's earth I could have looked after him at home. When I go to St Thomas to visit, there is a warm welcome.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your thanks for the team at St Thomas, we certainly appreciate it very much and are so happy to hear that the welcome you receive helps along with the care of your husband, we certainly pride ourselves on making our families and visitors part of our home.

Me and my mother cannot recommend this home enough. After a bad experience, my grandma was placed here and we both saw a rapid improvement in her mental and physical health and happiness. My grandma spent her last few years being loved and cared for by the amazing staff. I honestly believe this love
and care gave her more years with us and for that, we are eternally grateful. It is a beautiful place and lots of activities and places to sit and walk about, especially for my grandma who loved to walk.

Very sound management who succeed to a very great degree. Rooms are very comfortable and perfectly suitable for their purpose. Apart from one very disappointing first lunchtime, meals are varied and well-presented with good quantity and choice of food.
Staff are, on the whole, very friendly and helpful,
apart from one or two who could show a little more enthusiasm.
The care home, which is well set out, seems ideally set out as a nursing home and should prove very attractive to those seeking a refuge for patients with Alzheimer's.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We are a group who have known each other for over fifty years, who were sad to hear our friend was involved in a hit-and-run accident a year ago. After an active life, living alone in a house with two extensive gardens, cycling 100 kilometres a day and visiting each of us regularly, memory issues now
made living alone difficult.
Initially, the care home he was sent to for evaluation was far from ideal. We looked at several care homes in the area. St Thomas Care Home was the best, with bright, airy rooms surrounding a large central garden. The facilities are pleasant, and the food is good.
However, it is the attitude of the staff where the home excels. They dealt with a difficult transfer from the previous home with care and patience. They have gone the extra mile to help our friend, providing him maximum freedom to do what he wants and letting him do work in the garden. The staff are always cheerful and supportive. Our friend now strongly expresses a wish to remain at St. Thomas.

To start with, the manager welcomes with a beautiful smile. I was humbled with the welcome l was given by both the management team and staff. The resident looked so happy and the place is amazingly beautiful. It smelt fresh throughout the entire building. The care for residents is prioritised greatly.
I would recommend this care home anytime. It's good beautiful and well-managed.

Unfortunately, my mum needed full-time dementia care. It was such a hard decision and a worrying one too. We were recommended St Thomas and the manager and the staff put us at ease straight away. My mum has now been there for over a month and she has settled right in. I have total peace of mind. They
look after her in the best way possible. She gets involved in the lovely activities they have, sits in the beautiful gardens, loves the food and has made friends. The care team are second to none. Always checking on her, making cups of tea, helping and really giving them the best quality of life you could hope for with this terrible disease. I would recommend St Thomas to anyone in our situation in a heartbeat. Everything we have requested whether it be to put a picture up, a TV in the room, hairdresser it’s done without question. My mum always looks lovely and presentable every day which shows me how much they care and have listened to our requests. Thank you.

Mum had a series of falls last year and was diagnosed with slight dementia. She was in hospital for two months and became frail, could no longer walk and totally incontinent. She was then transferred to Barchester St Thomas Care Home where she has flourished! The family and myself no longer have to
worry about Mum not eating as the food is amazing. The care she receives daily is amazing and many of the staff genuinely love Mum. Entertainment and mental stimulation is greatly encouraged. Security is very good, cleanliness, laundry and day-to-day care are good. The staff are very approachable.

On the St Thomas’s website you will see that the carehome.co.uk review is 9.7 rating, whilst next to it is the poor CQC rating, not without reason.
My mum has full capacity. After two months we have had to move my mum out of St Thomas. Because she was cognitive she was able to tell us when they failed
to give her meals. She was able to tell us when her medication hadn't been given to her and when they looked into it, it had been signed for but not actually administered.
The staff did not have the time to engage with my mum, to get her out of the room or to have the appropriate activities suggested on their website. When the assessor came to do a Continuing Care Assessment with her, as part of the assessment she said she cried a lot. The care home nurse suggested that she was depressed, but they would not know because they did not get to spend time with her and they could get her put on antidepressants.
My mum is in a new home and is very happy with the great care and is not crying.

We called on the off chance of booking a visit with our friends, due to us being stuck abroad for over 8 months. In lockdown, we had not seen either of them since the previous October. The staff at the home were brilliant and cheerful and we were thrilled to go through the system to enable us to go
through the system, to enable us to spend time with our friends there and then. Can't speak highly enough of the staff and management team.

To say I was nervous about coming to an establishment such as yours, I needn't have worried. The staff are very kind, some go way above what one would expect. The whole home is geared towards the care of your guests. My stay is only temporary but should I need more long term, this would be my first
choice.

I have now visited my dad a couple of times since he moved into Barchester St Thomas Care Home. I am very pleased that we chose St Thomas as it goes completely against anything we had imagined when we first found out Dad needed full-time nursing care.
Dad’s care has been amazing and all of the staff
are always so helpful and friendly with the other residents and family that are visiting.
We all knew that the day would come that dad needed that level of care and we are just so glad that we found St Thomas.
Thank you to all the staff at St Thomas for their hard work and dedication - it really makes a difference to everyone in this situation.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.628) out of 10 for Barchester St Thomas Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.732 for Barchester St Thomas Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 4.896 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester St Thomas Care Home is based on 12 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.896

  • 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.

Jenny Rafemoyo

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2024

Hello, my name is Jenny, and I am the General Manager at St Thomas’. I joined the St Thomas team in September 2024 and have experience managing both nursing and residential care homes. My passion for caring for people living with dementia began around eight years ago. At St Thomas, I aim to create a safe and loving environment for those living with dementia while promoting choice and encouraging independence.


In 2020, I completed a Diploma in Management in Health and Social Care, and in 2023, I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Care. I am currently studying for a Level 7 qualification in Senior Leadership.


I take pride in fostering a positive working culture and aim to inspire the St Thomas team to reach their full potential within Barchester through education, practical experience, and mentoring. At St Thomas, we have a highly skilled team of care, nursing, and ancillary staff.


As General Manager, I strive to empower the team to provide high-quality, person-centred care while ensuring our residents’ lives are fulfilled, regardless of physical limitations.


St Thomas has a fantastic activity team that ensures every day is different in our home, offering an extensive array of events and life enrichment opportunities. Our activities team is always looking for new and innovative ways to promote independence and enjoyment.


At St Thomas, we understand that having a loved one in a care home can be a challenging time. Therefore, we welcome families and friends into the home like family, and our staff are always on hand to support relatives through what we know can be a confusing experience.
