AN ANDOVER care home has been placed in the top 20 facilities in the south east of England.

Harrier Grange Care Home has been chosen by its residents and their families as one of the top 20 care homes in the south east of England, according to industry reviews website carehome.co.uk.

Of the 3,054 homes in the south east of England the reviews guide website looked at, only the top 20 have received an accolade which includes Harrier Grange Care Home, in Hawker Siddeley Way.

The awards are based on reviews of the care home submitted to the site written by their residents, as well as residents’ friends and relatives.

Harrier Grange Care Home director, Kay Kelly, said: “We are naturally delighted to be awarded as one of the top 20 recommended care homes in the south east and it means a lot to the staff and residents.

“We’ve only been open one year or so this award is recognition for all the hard work the team carry out on a day-to-day basis.”

“I want to say a big thank you to all the staff for making our first year in Andover so successful.”
