Welcome to The Dower House Nursing Home, an exceptional home on the outskirts of Winchester, Hampshire, with the relaxed ambience of a country house hotel in beautiful surroundings.
Quality care isn’t just what we do it’s how we think, act, and lead everyday.
Should you require a short stay for recuperation and rehabilitation following illness or an operation, or your usual support network will be away, you will enjoy our comfortable, fully furnished short-stay rooms. These rooms also offer the perfect place for a peaceful break from your usual routine, with the benefit of personal care and support.

Palliative Care is the delivery of individualised, person-centred care to improve your quality of life and make you as comfortable as possible during a life limiting illness. Good palliative care is achieved through the effective management of pain and other symptoms which can occur at any time and is not restricted to care at the end of your life. It includes physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual care, as appropriate for you.
