Westacre Nursing Home is registered to provide
personal and nursing care for 50 people. Our
clients are all elderly, require nursing care and
have varying degrees of dementia.
There are 50 beds at Westacre comprising 48 single
rooms and 2 shared rooms. The original building is
quite old, having formerly been a grand house in one
of the finest areas of Winchester, with two modern
extensions. This creates an atmospheric, homely
and comfortable environment with a delightful mix of
antique furniture, an abundance of pictures and
warm, inviting rooms – home from home. All rooms
have ensuite toilet and washbasin facilities. Rooms
vary in size and décor. Residents and their families
are encouraged to personalise their rooms by
bringing in personal items from home.
There are several lounges in the home where many
of our residents tend to congregate in the day
especially to participate in the various activities and
entertainments that are on offer. There is a bright
spacious conservatory overlooking a well- kept,
secure garden with St Catherines’ Hill on the near
horizon.
Mealtimes are an important time for most of us
and we do our best to ensure that this continues
at Westacre. The team in the kitchen, led by our
wonderful chef, provide varied, nutritious meals
and are able to cater for any type of diet including
for those who may have swallowing difficulties.

Westacre employs an experienced team of
Registered Nurses on duty 24 hours a day
with a combination of Registered General
Nurses and Registered Mental Nurses at
the home. The Nurses are led by a Senior
Nurse and a Matron. The nurses work closely
with our dedicated care staff, most of who
have, or are working towards, achieving NVQ2.
At Westacre, we focus on tailoring our service to
the individuals who we care for. As far as possible
we try to involve the residents, their families and/or
advocates in planning their day, their care plans,
their activities, and their meals, ensuring that the
care that we provide is truly person centred.
