About
Windy Ridge Care Home is in Barton-on-Sea, a village near New Milton in Hampshire, and provides nursing care for people living with dementia and other mental health needs. The home has 21 registered beds, most of them single rooms, along with some double rooms so that married couples can stay together. Its large lounge and diner open onto a conservatory overlooking the garden, which has seating areas, flower beds and a seaside area, and which residents can use to continue gardening. The home sits within walking distance of the sea front, and residents often take outings there, sometimes ending at the ice-cream parlour, and make use of a minibus shared with a sister home.
Meals are prepared in-house from fresh produce, and qualified chefs review the menus with residents. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with Good ratings for safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and well-led care.
