Individual Care for Individual People
A family run boutique Nursing Home specialising in residential and nursing care for elderly ladies and gentlemen, offering respite and convalescence, as well as long term care.
Welcome to Alverstoke House
I would like to personally welcome you to Alverstoke House, our family owned care home in the beautiful village of Alverstoke, Hampshire. We are 500 metres from the stunning Stokes Bay beach overlooking the Solent and we are a short drive from the key cities of Portsmouth, Southampton, and Winchester.
We are pleased to have received our most recent September 2021 CQC Inspection report which has awarded us a GOOD rating which has been published on the CQC website. This has been achieved by our dedicated team working closely with our partner professional bodies the CQC, the Local Authority (Safeguarding and Social Workers), CCG and other partner professional healthcare bodies including GP's, Care Home Team, Older Persons Mental Health Teams, Diabetes Nurses, SLT (Speach and Language Therapists), Local Dental Services, QA and War Memorial Hospital services.
Alverstoke has run as a family nursing home for over 30 years, led by me for 17 years. I work full time at our home to ensure that I know our residents and their families well, and to support our staff and mission for continuous improvement.
Our residents are at the centre of everything that we do; our mission is to care about them and not just to care for them, relating to them as individuals, each with their own particular wants and needs.
As a team we recognise that deciding on a nursing home can be very difficult. We are happy to help you decide and really focus on what matters most to you, so please do call to talk through your needs.
If you decide to become part of the Alverstoke House community our team will work hard to ensure Alverstoke House is first and foremost a welcoming home and will help ensure the process of settling in is as smooth as possible.
Please call for a chat, or arrange to pop in to see us.

Review: daughter of a resident 30 June 2021
“My mother has been a resident for the past two and a half years, when she arrived she had a grade 4 pressure sore which I was told would never heal and she would only be able to sit out of bed for one hour per day. But thanks to the wonderful care and attention she has received it has completely healed and she can sit out and join in activities as much as she pleases. Thanks to the fantastic food, her diet has completely changed for the better. The range of activities is outstanding too.”
Review from Son of Resident 31st January 2024
"All staff at Alverstoke House are very caring and understanding of my Mother's needs. They are very kind and patient and keep myself and my brother fully informed of how our mother is doing. When my mother was ill on 2-3 occasions last year, it was acted on quickly and efficiently and we were informed immediately. Her room is light and airy and fully meets her needs as she is unable to get out of bed. Couldn't wish for better care."
Review from a visiting home manager June 2021.
"I visited Alverstoke House to do an assessment on a possible service user, when I visited the home the service user was treated with the utmost respect and dignity, the home was clean and the staff friendly. "
E-mail from Family Member January 2024.
"I wanted to say thank you for a brilliant day today for Burns night, it was really good and funny, made us laugh and my brother enjoyed it as well, and my uncle loved it too. He knew the man in the pictures was Robbie Burns and he was talking about the man with the bag-pips. He is really coming on well in your care home, eating well and alot better since he came to you,. He seems much calmer and healthier, so thank you so much for looking after him."
Review published on carehome.co.uk 8th December 2021
"My mother entered Alverstoke House at the beginning of September as she had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and was also suffering from heart failure. From day one she was treated as part of the family and every single member of staff would take time out to spend time with Mum and every aspect of her care was done with care and understanding. Unfortunately, Mum's illness progressed very swiftly, and after a short stay in hospital after a fall and heart attack, she returned to Alverstoke House for ongoing care. Again, they treated Mum so gently and always asked her permission before carrying out any treatment. Mum deteriorated quickly and we were called to the home. When there we were treated so kindly and were allowed to stay with Mum to the end, the staff cared for us as well as Mum and we will be forever grateful for the care and compassion showed to Mum and my family through this very difficult time"
E-mail from family Resident RW 8th July 2023
"We travelled from Somerset today to see my uncle, RW.
Each time we see him he seems to be happier, so we owe you thanks for enabling that. He speaks so highly of the staff there, please pass on our gratitude. It certainly seems a very happy place."
Review from Resident BC visiting the home for respite 25th February 2022.
"I have been most impressed with the aura of help and friendliness of the staff of the home. They have assisted me in every way with the care given, and the good company displayed throughout my week of residence.
I have also enjoyed immensely the tasty meals provided"
