Welcome to The Andover Nursing Home



There are almost 10,000 nursing homes in England and fewer than 50 have proved they have what it takes to receive an overall Outstanding rating. We are extremely proud to be one of them.

The Care Quality Commission found The Andover Nursing Home to be exceptionally effective, caring and well led when they made an announced inspection in January 2017, under new ownership we will of course be re-inspected. Their report highlighted how people who live here feel that they are treated with kindness and how their needs are ‘consistently met by staff who have the right competencies, knowledge, attitudes and behaviour’. 

The feedback inspectors received from residents, staff and relatives was positive throughout. We hope you will take time to read the report in full - please ask for a copy at reception or visit www.cqc.org.uk  

Our commitment to highly personalised care which reflects residents’ wishes from the day they arrive right through until the end of life is also recognised by a National Gold Standards Framework Quality Hallmark Award. This accolade reflects The Andover Nursing Home’s commitment to best practice training in palliative and end of life care and provides evidence that we have all the necessary skills and resources in place to ensure residents’ personal wishes are carried out.

Fundraising initiatives by The Friends of The Andover Nursing Home further enhance residents’ social lives both in and outside the home by supporting the work of the activity organisers. Money raised through fetes, fayres, jumble sales, dinner nights and sponsored events ensures that high calibre entertainment is a regular feature of our activities programme. The additional funds also help support transport and other costs associated with memorable days out. Membership is free and open to residents, their family members and friends.

March 2024 at Andover Nursing Home

Love March, third month of the year, the second of seven months to have a length of 31 days.

In March, the Full Moon is the Worm Moon; if it occurs on or after March 21, it is also the Paschal Moon. It is also called Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon…

In the Northern Hemisphere, the meteorological beginning of spring occurs on the first day of March. The March equinox on the 20 or 21 marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where September is the seasonal equivalent of the Northern Hemisphere's March.

March is always a busy month at the home. St David’s Day, St Patricks Day, Holi, Mothering Sunday oh it’s a busy month. We also have many entertainers in “Rosie”, “Just the 2 Of Us” and of course Cosmic Sparkle. We also have Little Day Nursery round at the end of the month on a baking Day baking crispy cakes for Easter. We are also very excited to welcome Hayley who will be providing Yoga classes which we are all looking forward too.

Please don’t forget the clocks “Spring forward” on the 31st March, I think we are all looking forward to getting back in the garden?

Lorna’s Hair Salon is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, Lorna can also provide manicures, residents can book in for a hand massage or have their nails painted?
