CQC key question ratings, published 16 March 2023. Under each rating: how many care homes in Hampshire share it.
What it may cost
We estimate St Johns Nursing Home at £1,660–£2,030 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £86k–£106k.
For residents assessed as needing nursing, a weekly NHS contribution goes straight to the home towards the fee, whoever pays the rest.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Hampshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.

There are 24 other care homes within 3 miles, 18 of them rated Good or Outstanding; the nearest is Rownhams Manor, under 0.5 miles away.
12 of the 24 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.
It sits in Chilworth, Nursling & Rownhams ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 40% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.
Within about a 10-minute walk there is a shop (6 min), a park (10 min), a café (7 min) and a bus stop (1 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.
Strengths and weak spots in the ratings
CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.
For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 323 of the 434 other care homes in Hampshire that CQC has rated.
How long it has been running
St Johns Nursing Home has been registered with CQC since November 2021, about 4 years.
CQC has published 8 overall ratings for it (2015–2023), starting at Requires improvement; it has gone up 3 and down 2 times, and is now Good.
No new overall rating has been published for 3 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
