  • Wellington Grange, Chichester
Colten Care has now opened two beautiful top floor suites, The Martlets and The Witterings.

They have been designed to enable couples to continue living together, with support from the home team if required. The suites offer a more independent lifestyle, alongside care and companionship when it's needed.

Both suites have a light, bright and airy feel about them with contemporary décor. Peaceful and tranquil, they have a separate living space - where simple snacks and hot drinks can be made - and bedroom with an en suite shower room. Delicious cooked meals and other chores including cleaning and laundry are all taken care of, by the friendly team.

Experience the warmth and care of these friendly, relaxing care homes whilst making new friends.

Wellington Grange is the newest of the Colten Care homes, purpose-built on the historic Roussillon Barracks site to offer the highest standards of residential and nursing care.

The home offers en-suite bedrooms across three floors. Each room is beautifully decorated and fully furnished with oak furniture and residents are welcome to bring their own items of furniture should they so wish.

Wellington Grange is a home full of character, the interior carefully styled with colour, art and pattern to reflect the local historical, cultural and natural attributes of Chichester.

At the home residents will find a therapy room, salon, library, cinema and study as well as a range of bistros and cafes to spend the day.

Minibus trips from the home will run regularly to enable residents to enjoy a taste of the countryside or even the seaside, and on days within the home, a range of thought-provoking and enjoyable ways to spend the day are created by in-house activities team and the residents themselves.

My mum was one of the first people to move to Wellington Grange. It was hard for the whole family to have mum's care taken over. She was made very welcome and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They made her room very homely and it is kept very clean. I can't fault the staff - they have
been wonderful. To know mum is safe has been such a big relief. There have been some issues with food but they are being dealt with. Any problems we have - have been quickly looked at. Mum is gradually settling - but as a family, we knew it would take a while.

My father has recently had to accept that it is time to move into a care home, a massive step for him and a stressful one. We needn't of worried as our contact with Wellington Grange has proved to be good. It did not do the hard sell (it's a new home and no doubt would like to have residents join
them asap), but simply showed me round the home, it's features and fully answered questions to enable us to form our own opinion. Having decided to admit him, our next worry was his admission day. Again, Wellington Grange came up trumps, his room was ready to a very high standard, the administration was smooth, he was given a very warm welcome and treated as an individual. All of his views, concerns, worries etc have been dealt with properly and this respect has continued post admission. The Wellington Grange Internet page contains a set of company values - our experience of Wellington Grange has demonstrated to us that these values are real and not marketing words on a page.

We were helped in every possible way to make my father's move to Wellington Grange as easy and comfortable as possible. Since his arrival my father (93) has received excellent care and everyone has made tremendous efforts to ensure he has settled in well to his new home, taking the time to get to know
him and his personal preferences. As relatives, we have also been made to feel extremely welcome at all times. We feel very happy that he is in such good hands.

Wellington Grange is the creme de la creme of care homes. A 5* plus home as good as any hotel but with personal efficient loving care. Newly built it smells of flowers and new carpets instead of ..... experienced in other care homes. The food is restaurant standard and tailored to individual diets and
like and dislikes. A wide range of activities is on offer every day from mini bus outings, pub lunches, gardening, quizzes, beer and gin tasting, crafts and painting not to mention the cinema room with a great choice of films, the beauty and spa altogether perfect. There are cheaper homes but this one offers fabulous value for money.

Where do I start... I received a very warm and extremely helpful welcome by all members of the team. This was followed by every help possible which has continued throughout my stay. Staff could not be more cheerful or helpful. Activities are all very varied and the food is excellent, every meal feels
like I'm visiting a 5 star hotel! The nearest to heaven on earth.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.978)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.978) out of 10 for Wellington Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.978 for Wellington Grange is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.978

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellington Grange is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
