Care Home

Brendoncare Otterbourne Court is a new care home nestled in the Hampshire village of Otterbourne. It provides both nursing and dementia care for up to 64 residents in a family-like environment, filled with opportunities for friendship and a sense of community.

For a home-from-home feel, Otterbourne Court is divided into smaller households of 16 bedrooms. Our experience over the last 30 years has shown that these smaller households create a lovely family-like atmosphere. At Otterbourne Court, each one includes a selection of communal areas and facilities where you can socialise with other residents. There are also other spaces for quieter occupations and tranquillity.

The layout of the households has been specifically designed to help people find their way around easily. Outside, the gardens and the bowling green are a real feature.

An array of activities is offered based on what residents enjoy, whilst the adjoining community hub provides further facilities for friendship, community and family dining.

Close Care - Otterbourne Mews

Our shared care approach means that partners can remain the primary carer for each other, but are supported by our onsite, experienced care team, as and when required.

Brendoncare Otterbourne Mews offers a full range of care and support, which can be designed around each couple’s needs. This includes help with washing, dressing and household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Other help can include personal care and support for activities and recreation, allowing partners the opportunity to go out knowing their loved one is cared for and safe.

Both planned and emergency respite care is available in the care home, subject to a room being available, allowing partners some time to enjoy a break or simply manage their own needs for a short period. Alternative support can be put in place if there is no respite room available.

Care can be provided as long as the resident’s condition allows this to be safely carried out in their own home and is subject to additional costs. If a resident is no longer able to be supported in their apartment, the care home offers an onsite alternative; their partner is still living in the same building and is able to continue being fully involved in their care on a daily basis.

Apartments

Brendoncare Otterbourne Mews offers 15 two-bedroom and five one-bedroom apartments for rent, all of which are fully accessible and designed to support people living with dementia. Communal features include two shared lounges, a balcony and terrace for residents and their visitors to enjoy.

The onsite community hub will offer a wide range of facilities and activities for socialising and will be a real focal point of life at Brendoncare Otterbourne Mews.

Additional costs may apply for some hub services.

Testimonials

"The quality of care shown throughout my mother's stay but particularly towards the end was most impressive." Son of resident.

"As a close relative, I cannot emphasise enough the positive impact that this move to Otterbourne has made to my aunt's well-being and quality of life...The staff are knowledgeable and professional and are always on hand to chat and reassure us as a family. We know my aunt is in safe hands and that all her needs are being met. My aunt is now safe and happy in the company of other lovely residents whom she meets at lunchtime in the restaurant (the food is outstanding) and during the varied activity programme.
This is a safe and wonderful place to live where people can enjoy life and where we can rely on staff at all times to care for our relative. We cannot express our gratitude to the outstanding team at Otterbourne." Neice of resident.
