About St Andrews
Here at St Andrews in Fareham, Hampshire, we provide residential care for people who need genuine, consistent support in a place that truly feels like home. Our team works with younger adults, including those living with a learning disability or autism, and we take real pride in getting to know each person as an individual rather than simply a set of needs or a care plan. We understand that choosing a care home, whether for yourself or someone you love, is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. That is why we aim to be open and honest from the very first conversation. We will always take the time to answer questions, walk you through what day to day life looks like here, and make sure you feel comfortable before any decisions are made. For those who need a shorter stay, we also offer respite care. This can be an important lifeline for family carers who need a break, and we approach it with the same level of thought and attention we give to our long term residents. Settling in for even a brief period matters, and we work hard to make that transition feel easy and unhurried. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as good across the board. We see that as an honest reflection of the consistency our team brings to their work every single day, not a ceiling to settle at, but a foundation to keep building from. If you would like to find out more about St Andrews or come and see us for yourself, we would be very happy to hear from you. We are based in Fareham and welcome visits from anyone considering care for themselves or a family member.
