We are proud to join in congratulating Bickerley Green care home on this fantastic achievement. Being named Hampshire's Residential Home of the Year is a testament to the dedication, kindness and professionalism of the entire team, and to the welcoming community they have created for residents. Very well deserved. 👏🎉

Our Bickerley Green care home in Ringwood has been named Residential Home of the Year at the 2026 Hampshire Care Awards. 🏆

This award recognises our commitment to providing outstanding, person-centred care that helps residents live fulfilling and meaningful lives. From wellbeing programmes connecting people with their favourite hobbies and community groups, to popular 'Dream Days' supporting residents to fulfil long-held personal ambitions - the team at Bickerley Green goes above and beyond every day.

The recognition follows another recent achievement for the home, which was awarded Veteran Friendly Framework Status earlier this year for its work supporting veterans and strengthening community connections.

A huge thank you to all the staff whose compassion, dedication and professionalism make such a difference to residents and their families every day. 💚
