Welcome to St Cross Grange
St Cross Grange Care Home in Winchester offers the finest Residential, Nursing and Dementia Care for older people in Hampshire.
St Cross opened its doors to new residents in the Summer of 2024, following an extensive refurbishment. Our Winchester care home is expertly and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the residents. St Cross Care Home aims to provide residents with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which their care, wellbeing and comfort are of prime importance.
We have 64 bedrooms, all with en-suite wet room facilities, and flatscreen TVs. Communal areas offer a choice of tranquil settings, creating an important therapeutic atmosphere. Our quiet lounge and terrace offer calming space and light.
Our beautiful communal areas offer space to both relax and socialise; all have cafe facilities for residents and guests. All of our bedrooms can have looped hearing systems installed on request, and of course, round-the-clock nursing and personal care are always on hand, from our friendly, expert team.
A spectacular setting
St Cross Grange is set in beautiful, mature grounds with breath-taking, panoramic views. The original home was built more than 150 years ago, with a history of providing social support and care to older people in Winchester since the 1930s, as well as housing soldiers during WWII.
St Cross Grange is in a sought-after location on the edge of Winchester and the South Downs National Park. This stunning building has been designed internally for the benefit of our residents, whilst outside it still resembles the beautiful Victorian villa that was constructed in the late 18th century as a residential dwelling. The building has changed over the years but was most recently refurbished in 2024. Situated in its own grounds, the home offers nursing, dementia and residential care and has private, outside areas where residents can relax in comfort.
St Cross Grange is positioned just under two miles from Winchester city centre. Winchester is a city in the county of Hampshire, on the edge of England’s South Downs National Park. It’s known for the medieval Winchester Cathedral, with its 17th-century Morley Library, the Winchester Bible and a Norman crypt.

Our team of chefs do their utmost to accommodate the residents’ wishes through the preparation of mouth-watering meals, using the freshest ingredients, seasonal produce and local suppliers wherever possible.
The menu choices change constantly and include many traditional dishes whilst also encouraging you to sample a variety of new tastes which you may not have had the opportunity of experiencing before. We also encourage you to make suggestions as to the meals that should be available via surveys and chefs visiting you in your rooms.
Particular attention is given to the nutritional requirements of each resident. We will cater for your special and therapeutic diets, as advised by health care professionals and agreed in each resident’s plan of care. We are able to arrange special meals, such as diabetic, halal, vegetarian, and gluten-free, and we are trained in the modification of diet and fluids in order to keep you safe.
