Fareham care home praised as 'outstanding' following inspection

The inspection at Fareham’s Broadview Care Home, which took place in March, praised the excellent support the team provided.

Complete with its very own chickens, Broadview is home to six people aged 22-67 with a range of needs from autism to mental health.

Known for its personalised approach, those at Broadview are encouraged to decorate their room to their tastes, grow their own vegetables and take part in community activities.

Manager Alison Murray said: ‘I was so happy when I heard the news and was straight on the phone to the team to let them know the great news.

‘We have an extremely dedicated team who love what they do and the people we support. We work hard but everyday is a reward to see how much the individuals here can succeed and achieve.

‘This rating is really just the cherry on top of an already very sweet service.’

Broadview is one of Voyage Care’s list of care homes and community support hubs across the UK.

Alison added: ‘With the current pandemic, it’s been incredibly important that we keep everybody busy, happy and safe through fun activities like our weekly garden keep fit classes.

‘We also have our bingo and quiz nights, plus the very popular zen nights which encourage everybody to take some time out and have fun.’
