Hampshire Council pays between £990 and £1,090 a week for a standard residential place, and more where needs are higher. It publishes bands rather than a single rate.

Level of careCouncil pays per week
Residential, standard£990 to £1,090
Residential, enhanced£1,090 to £1,190
Nursing, standard£1,145 to £1,245
Nursing, enhanced£1,245 to £1,345
Complexup to £1,445
Which band applies is decided by the council, not the home. A Care Act assessment sets the level of need, and that sets the band. If you are paying for yourself, the home may charge more than any of these figures — ask it directly.

How the inspectors rated it

Good

The Care Quality Commission rated St Thomas Good when it last published an assessment, in October 2024.

Inspected within the last two yearsThe national middle is 4.3 years. How we measure this.

This one is recent — 1.8 years old, so it is a fair picture of the home as it is now. Still worth asking whether the manager has changed since.

What the same operator runs elsewhere

Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited runs 93 care homes for older people in England. Of the 91 carrying a published CQC rating, 74 are rated Good or Outstanding, 16 require improvement, and 1 are rated Inadequate.

A pattern across an operator’s homes tells you something a single inspection cannot. It is a fair question to put to the manager: what has changed across the group since those inspections?

Ask them what a room costs today

Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask St Thomas directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
