Just a short walk from the heart of Chichester, Wellington Grange combines contemporary elegance with a strong sense of community, creating a home where residential and nursing care are delivered with warmth, confidence and genuine hospitality. Inspired by the city's rich cultural heritage, the interiors reflect a thoughtful blend of art, colour and craftsmanship that gives the home its own distinctive character.
Life here is sociable without feeling busy. Residents gather in welcoming cafés and bistros, enjoy film screenings in the cinema, browse the library, or simply spend time together in beautifully designed lounges and gardens. Regular outings into Chichester and the surrounding countryside help maintain strong connections with the wider community.
Residents are encouraged to continue following familiar routines, explore new interests and contribute to daily life in ways that reflect their personalities and preferences. This shared sense of belonging creates a home that feels lively, welcoming and reassuring.
Alongside experienced residential and nursing care, residents enjoy attentive service, freshly prepared dining and beautifully maintained surroundings. Spacious companion suites also provide an opportunity for couples to continue living together while receiving the support they need.
As part of the award-winning Colten Care group, recognised as the 2025 National Care Award winner for Medium-Sized Provider and a carehome.co.uk Top 20 Group for 11 consecutive years, Wellington Grange combines nationally recognised standards of care with the elegance and individuality that define life within the home.

Overall Experience
Wellington Grange was exceptional I cannot fault it in any way. Lovely food, decor, communal rooms, bedrooms, reception, staff, care staff, hairdresser, nail bar and the Bistro deserves a special mention. In short a five star hotel.

My stay here has been good. I came here in need of rest and recuperation after an accident in my car. I received understanding and sympathy in a quiet and empathetic atmosphere which has helped to restore my confidence, though my memory is still affected.
My room is comfortable and well furnished in every way. The staff are all helpful and understanding and I am impressed with how much is organised for the invested and well-being of the clients. I would certainly come back should I need to and recommend the home to friends.

June 2016 - understandably needing respite, my caring companion transported me to nearby Wellington Grange, a newly built care and nursing home. Being impressed, I booked 2 weeks respite and made the major decision to move in opposite the convenient life and looking out onto Oaklands Park, adjacent to the Festival Theatre.
My chosen furniture, from my dear flat for sale, fitted into the appropriate spaces in my new abode. My favourite pictures and photographs were duly and carefully hung, by our handy maintenance chap, to whom I now feel attached, through monthly checks of all equipment.

Appreciation is maintained for all the caring staff, as reflected in my poetry to be published for circulation around all 21 of the groups care homes.

Wellington Grange came to my attention because my uncle needed respite care immediately. I found the admission staff very helpful and sensible. They coordinated with the hospital very efficiently. The level of care on the nursing floor has been excellent. I have found all the staff very friendly and willing. They seem very caring and professional. I am grateful to all the staff at Wellington Grange for their kindness and consideration at this difficult and sad time for my uncle and myself.

I have had an extremely enjoyable time visiting a friend at Wellington Grange. The staff were excellent with perfect social skills. I would like to comment that the lady at reception was so friendly. The dining room assistant was really energetic and so professional during lunch. The food was delicious and he made the experience really pleasant. I felt that my friend was living in a place that I would also like to be in if there was the need.

We are fed and watered extremely well and activities are excellent. Very happy to be here but would rather be at home with my husband but that's not possible since he has died. Will stay here for the rest of my life. Family happy too.

Wellington Grange is an excellent care home and the staff are exceptional. Always willing, smiling and patient. I feel very lucky to have been looked after by such kind, caring people. The building is more like a 5-star hotel than a care home and the garden is a delight. My only criticism is a lack of green vegetables and it would be nice to have a french dressing rather than mayo in a sachet.

Overall Experience
It was a wonderful, welcoming, clean, comfortable care home. I would say on a par with a five-star hotel. My friend, although has only been there four weeks is so happy, clean and comfortable. It is certainly a care home I could recommend.
