About Abbotts Barton
Abbotts Barton is a nursing home in Winchester, Hampshire. Qualified nurses are on duty here at every hour rather than visiting, and that is usually why families come to us instead of to a residential home. The level of health need has grown past what could be managed at home. We care for older people whose health needs require nursing, and for younger adults whose needs call for it too. Respite admissions are available alongside permanent places, which gives a family carer a genuine rest rather than an anxious fortnight spent wondering whether the clinical side is being managed. Coming into a nursing home is rarely anybody's plan. It usually follows a fall, a hospital stay, or a long stretch in which a husband, wife or daughter slowly realised they could not keep going. We try to meet families at that point with some tact, and we do not ask anybody to repeat their whole story to four different members of staff. The nursing is careful and unhurried. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and making sure people eat and drink enough. Beyond that we are mainly interested in whether somebody is comfortable, whether they are bored, and whether they have seen the people they love this week. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and look round.
