Our ‘home from home’ philosophy is built on a firm belief that the needs and wishes of each individual resident are paramount. People who live at The Andover Nursing Home don’t reside in a place of work. Rather, our staff work in their collective home and do everything possible to ensure that individuality is respected and celebrated while nurturing a sense of belonging.

As well as providing opportunities to spend time in different locations, they are gathering places for musical entertainment, parties, talks and other activities. Reception is also ideal for taking tea, catching up with family and friends and people watching.

Our three full time Activity organisers play a significant part in maintaining The Andover Nursing Home’s lively atmosphere. Our in-house team is full of ideas and totally committed to helping each individual live a fulfilling life which meets their aspirations wherever possible. They are always exploring suggestions for new trips and pastimes!
