The Wickets

The Wickets, located on Banister Road in Southampton, Hampshire is a state-of-the-art care home set to open in winter 2025, offering individually tailored care in a luxurious environment. This modern facility will provide both permanent and short-term nursing and residential care, as well as specialist dementia care, for up to 80 older adults.

Each of the 80 bedrooms will be exquisitely furnished, uniquely decorated, and equipped with its own en-suite wet room. Residents on the ground floor will have direct access to beautifully landscaped, secure gardens, perfect for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. The home will also feature a variety of premium amenities, including a coffee shop, cinema room, and a hair and beauty salon, alongside extensive gardens and outdoor spaces designed for leisure and socialising.

The Wickets will offer a diverse range of activities to suit all interests, from gardening and cooking to themed parties, quizzes, cheese and wine afternoons, barbecues, music sessions, and exercise classes. While group activities will be a daily feature, the care team understands the importance of personalised attention. They will ensure that residents who prefer one-on-one interactions receive the care and companionship they desire. Whether it is continuing to attend a local church, club, or group, enjoying a pub lunch, or going on shopping trips, the team will support residents in maintaining their preferred routines and hobbies.

Dining at The Wickets will be a customised experience, tailored to each resident's tastes and dietary needs. The chef-led catering team will create a variety of delicious and nutritious meals, with options designed to appeal to every palate. Upon moving in, the head chef will personally meet each resident to learn about their favourite foods and dietary preferences. The team is trained in the latest techniques for catering to all dietary requirements, including modified diets and cultural or religious needs.
