About Borovere
At Borovere, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Alton, Hampshire. We are a care home that genuinely feels like home, and that matters to us enormously. Whether someone moves in with us permanently or joins us for a short respite stay, we want every person to feel settled, respected and well looked after from the moment they arrive. We support people living with dementia, those with physical disabilities, and older adults who simply need a little more help with day to day life. Our team takes time to understand each person properly, learning their routines, their preferences, and the things that make them who they are. Good care is personal, and we do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which we are proud of, though we are always looking at how we can do better. Feedback from residents and their families shapes how we work, and we welcome honest conversations about what is going well and what could improve. Alton is a lovely market town and being part of this community means a great deal to us. Families are always welcome at Borovere, and we encourage people to stay involved in the lives of their loved ones. We know how much it means to a resident to see a familiar face, and we try to make visiting feel easy and natural rather than formal. If you are thinking about care for yourself or for someone you love, we would encourage you to come and visit us, have a cup of tea, and see Borovere for yourself. We are always happy to show people around and answer any questions, however big or small.
