A Winchester nursing home providing permanent or respite care for vulnerable adults
Situated in the picturesque area of Sleepers Hill in Winchester, Westacre Nursing Home is registered with the Care Quality Commission as a care home and reviewed on CareHome.co.uk. Westacre provides care for older people with physical care needs and those with all types of dementia.
The original home is a charming Edwardian building with many original features. In recent years there have been two significant extensions to the home which means it is now fully equipped to provide modern nursing care, combining character and charm with functionality.
