About
Flowerdown Care Home stands in Harestock, a short drive north of Winchester in Hampshire, with the city centre, cathedral and train station within easy reach. The home is registered for 48 beds and provides residential, nursing and respite care. Bedrooms are spread over two floors, each with its own lounge and dining area, and a garden room on the ground floor offers a quieter space. The garden includes accessible paths, seating areas, a pond and raised flowerbeds.
Care planning begins with a conversation about each person's life story, needs and goals, and the resulting plan is drawn up with the resident, their relatives and the care team. Activities change from week to week and range from crafts and gardening to animal visits and games. Meals are cooked on site and served on each floor. The home was refurbished in 2024. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall, with Good ratings for being safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
