Wellington Grange

Having broken my arm and being unable to cope at home living on my own I was persuaded by a friend to approach Wellington Grange with a view to respite care for four weeks. This was so successful I extended my stay for a further three weeks. The care and attention have been superb and I have really enjoyed my stay and met so many nice people. I am sure I will return sometime in the future.

Mum is staying after a long time in hospital before hopefully going home. She is loving it at Wellington Grange. Mum is gluten free and the chef has been very helpful.

I came into Wellington Grange for respite- post-operative care following a hip replacement operation at the local hospital. The care here has been very good indeed in all aspects and I would certainly recommend it to anyone with similar needs.

I have visited two different parishioners in Wellington Grange in recent weeks. Every time I have been greeted by staff in a welcoming and friendly manner. The people I visit are clearly contented and happy with the care they receive and the compassionate and considerate attitude of the staff. The rooms are very clean and well cared for and the food is excellent. It feels like a hotel and the dignity and value that this gives to the residents is great.

'Wellington Grange' is a beautifully appointed care home. My mother came here to convalesce after knee replacement surgery and she has received excellent care. All the staff without exception, have been kind, efficient and caring. The activities have been enjoyed by my mother on occasions when she wished to participate and were very varied and interesting. it has been very nice to visit my mother with other family members in such a lovely setting and to also be able to enjoy meals with her in the garden or beautiful restaurant.

Several years ago, my wife suffered a severe stroke and after five months in hospital came home. I was her main carer for several years but in the end, I suffered a collapse which ended in both of us being here in 'Wellington Grange'. She sadly cannot read or write to any extent. We have both been very happy and have been very well looked after. The whole place is superb with a lovely garden. The carers here have been wonderful and loving and we shall miss them. Activities are more than plentiful and one's privacy is always respected. All in all, a very splendid care home.

Respite after an operation the care was excellent and I could not fault it in any way.

The staff at the home cannot be faulted in all areas we are most impressed. My sister needs a lot of help. There were two members of staff who went that extra mile. But all the staff make this home special.

Have watched the construction, opening and running. Most impressive and I could recommend to anyone.

Excellent, all round care with friendly staff who show a professional attitude towards residents. Wellington Grange is gives a beautiful surrounding with varied activities. Couldn't have chosen a better place for my rehabilitation, following surgery.

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.

Excellent in decor. Staff are very polite, friendly and caring. Facilities are amazing, lovely bright fresh clean light rooms. Food is hot and well presented and varied. Everyone you meet in the corridors say hello and overall its the best care/nursing home I have ever been in.

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.

Excellent - no faults.

The Wellington Grange Chichester has given my Aunt of 99 years of age a new lease of life. Lovely care/laughter and great nursing from your amazing staff.

Five star hotel - staff caring - nothing too much trouble. Food excellent, varied cuisine and ample quality. Many available activities.

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.

My husband was accepted as a resident from another care home and finds this one a great improvement on the last one.

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.
