There’s lovely news to share at Hartwell Lodge in Fareham.

Hartwell Lodge is part of a care group that has been recognised as one of the Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK for 2026, as rated by carehome.co.uk.

This is a national group award, recognising the combined dedication of every home within the organisation.

What makes this achievement feel so meaningful is that it’s based entirely on reviews from residents and their families — the people who experience daily life in the home first-hand. Their words, their trust and their feedback have made this possible.

At Hartwell Lodge, care is about the moments in between — the gentle check-ins, the familiar routines that bring comfort, the shared smiles in the lounge, and the reassurance offered on a difficult day. It’s this steady, thoughtful approach, here at Hartwell Lodge and across the wider group, that families so often reflect in their reviews.

Stacey, Home Manager at Hartwell Lodge, said:

“We are incredibly proud to be part of a group recognised in the Top 20 nationally. This award is a testament to the hard work and compassion of our team here at Hartwell Lodge, as well as our colleagues across the group. To know it’s based on feedback from residents and families makes it especially touching. Their trust means everything to us.”

For everyone at Hartwell Lodge, this recognition is a shared moment of pride — and a reminder of the importance of creating a place where people feel safe, valued and truly at home.
