Very difficult with Covid to take mum out in these difficult times to shop and places as this is what she wants to do.

I never thought I'd ever have to place my father into residential care. I made a promise to him that I would be the one to ensure he was always going to be with me in his old age. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cognitive dementia 3 years ago. As a family, we tried our utmost to give him his independence
until we realised he was becoming a danger to himself and others around him. It was breaking my heart and soul to know I couldn't help and he ended up hospitalized and then went into Winchester care home. I can honestly say, I couldn't have wished for a better place for my dad to be as it is hygienically clean and homely. He is safe, loved, cared for and he is given respect by the staff. The staff are inviting and respectful to visiting families and I'm always updated and informed about my father regularly, day or night. I just want to say thank you to you all for the job you all do to enable my dad to be safe. Without you, I don't know what I would do.

Reply from Liza Burchell, General Manager at Barchester Winchester House Care Centre

Thank you so much, This really does mean a lot. We always hope to help families in their time of need, and we can't wait for you to able to see your dad again! Keep safe and we will hopefully see you soon.

My mother ended up at Winchester through the complexities of COVID rather than researched selection, but what a blessing it has been. Mum’s care has been personal, dignified and extremely attentive. During this difficult time, when friends and relatives have not been able to visit, the home has made
every effort to keep communication clear and facilitate regular video calls with moves towards garden visits as appropriate. The activities that mum has been engaged in have been appropriate and stimulating, the activity leaders outstanding. Mum has been shown such affection and acceptance, that she is very clearly at ease and enjoying the social contact that she has. This could have been a terrible time, separated from Mum at her most vulnerable. Yet the care of the staff at Winchester, and the accessibility of the management has made all the difference. So my prayers for the safety of all staff and residents will continue, along with gratitude for all the personalised care they provide.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to us that you have taken the time to let us know. At Winchester House, we always try our utmost to ensure our residents are kept safe, well and happy during these difficult times.

Dad came for 2 weeks respite care whilst Mum, his carer, recovered from an operation. With the restrictions imposed due to coronavirus, we were understandably unable to visit but lots of effort was made by the staff to keep us in touch and updated on how Dad was. He was very settled and looked after
well, he has mild dementia and limited mobility but his daily needs were catered for in a kind and sympathetic way. He enjoyed the food too.

Reply from Liza Burchell, General Manager at Barchester Winchester House Care Centre

Thank you for your kind words, I am glad that your dad enjoyed his time here. He was the perfect resident! It is always a delight to hear from family members feeling that their loved one is cared for and treated with compassion.

My mother in law has been a resident of Winchester House since December 2015 and I would say that she is probably one of their longest serving residents. In all that time, she has been treated with exceptional care and compassion, especially as she has Alzheimer's and can become very confused at times.
Since she has been under the direct care of a certain care practitioner, her actual well-being and demeanour has improved so much. She is always laughing and smiling when with her and you can see that Mum adores her. She spoils her rotten and has even taught Mum how to sing again. This care practitioner's care has made lockdown more bearable for us and we can't thank her enough.

After not being able to see my wife for over 4 months due to the coronavirus pandemic, the staff at the home very kindly arranged for me to spend some time with her on our wedding anniversary. We spent some time in the gardens under a gazebo which was thoughtfully decorated to celebrate the day.
All

I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work and care during these difficult times. I have really enjoyed having Skype calls with my mum each week and in fact, for me, it has been really good as I live a long way away and do not get to see my mum as often as I would wish so it is really
nice ‘seeing’ her each week. The staff are always so helpful, polite and cheerful – full credit to them as it must be very difficult and I know lots of people have made big sacrifices in order to keep others safe.
So thank you again from all of us and stay safe!

Reply from Liza Burchell, General Manager at Barchester Winchester House Care Centre

Dear Sharon, I am glad to know that Skype calls helped a lot in keeping you in contact with your mum. It is a pleasure looking after your mum and we are always happy to help. We are very thankful for your kind words.

In spite of having to deal with COVID and lockdown, there is a great sense of being able to assign staff efficiently than at times of previous surveys. Is this down to better training or to better communication between management and staff? On a practical note will outside contractors be allowed in
(e.g. hairdressers) before my toenails curl up to heaven?

Reply from Liza Burchell, General Manager at Barchester Winchester House Care Centre

Thank you for your valued feedback, I an glad that you have observed improvement in management. We will continue to strive to ensure stability and continuity in providing excellent care. Once the lockdown ease down, we can have the non-essential workers to visit the home.

The staff at Winchester Care Home have been nothing but kind, helpful and understanding, especially given the current situation we have all found ourselves in this year. They have gone out of their way to ensure that our sister in Christ Jesus is cared for, that her family and friends can get in touch
by telephone and skype calls, which obviously creates more commitment from them. I can't praise them highly enough for taking the time to help their residents to keep in touch with their relatives and loved ones. When I am called for my skype call with my friend, she always looks clean and dressed. My friend looks comfortable and peaceful, for which we are all very grateful. Having spoken with her son on several occasions, it is also clear that other healthcare professionals are all working together to get the best outcome for her. I can't praise them highly enough. Really well done, keep up the excellent work.

My wife has been in this home for over 5 years. I am with her every day for 4-5 hours. She came to Winchester from another home and was in a bad state, so much so that I did not think she would live very long. But I'm delighted to say that here the standard of care she has received from the nursing
and caring staff, not forgetting the GP practice, has kept her with me. Another important factor is the high quality of food served. we all get told on the news of bad homes, it upsets me when they never come to a good home like Winchester.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

The care home is presented well, is clean and tidy. It offers residents a place to walk freely and utilise the floor space of the home. It has a very homely feel and there are nurses stations in the right places. Overall the care my grandmother received was good, but towards the end of her life there,
the standard of her care began to slip. We would often visit and the jugs of juice in my grandmother's room would have a layer of thick mould on the top which would indicate it had been there for a couple of days. We raised this with nurses but they were unable to explain how this had happened. It is important for people of all ages to stay hydrated and unfortunately, my grandmother was sometimes overlooked when it came to water. We realised it could have been because her ability to swallow was not as good as it should have been, but they had the sponges on sticks which are for sucking on so residents intake of water is more controlled but so they are still receiving water.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Barchester Winchester House Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.766 for Barchester Winchester House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 363 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 Barchester Winchester House Care Centre is based on 30 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 123 registered maximum number of service users is 24.6, which has been reached with 30 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.

Job Title: Senior RGN

Joined: 2015

I began my career in healthcare in 2013,after being 8 years a primary teacher. I joined Winchester House as a Healthcare Assistant. During my time in this role, I quickly developed a passion for providing care and recognised that I could contribute more significantly to the well-being of others. Driven by the desire to expand my skills and knowledge, I made the decision to pursue a nursing career and enrolled in nursing school in 2015.


After three years of rigorous study and hands-on training, I completed my nursing qualification and returned to Winchester House in September 2018, eager to put my education into practice. Since re-joining the team, I have continually grown within the organisation, and in 2020, I was proud to be promoted to the role of Senior Nurse.


Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering the highest standard of care, fostering a supportive environment for both staff and residents, and continuously advancing my professional development. My journey reflects my dedication to improving patient outcomes and making a positive impact on the healthcare community.
