The place that makes you want to stay

Well known in the area for providing a high level of care, Westhampnett House is set on 3.5 acres of West Sussex’s finest parkland, on the outskirts of the historic city of Chichester.

This fine property nestles at the foot of the beautiful South Downs, adjacent to the Saxon parish church and Goodwood Estate, and once formed the heart of the original Roman village. Stane Street, on which the property is set, is known as the “biggest physical mark the Romans left on Sussex,” as it formed “the great, straight road from Chichester to London.” Like its surroundings, Westhampnett House is steeped in period history.

Boasting its own listed Dovecote, pond, apple orchard, and stunning gardens, the handsome Grade II listed Georgian building together with later additions provide an idyllic setting for the nursing and recovery of the 32 residents that our Home caters for.

We promise good, warm, old-fashioned care and hospitality. Come and visit us, to experience this.

What Our Residents Say

Mum has been well looked after and cared for. She is very happy and so are we. All of the staff are welcoming and caring. Generally the facilities are adequate but the building, windows etc. i.e. heating could be updated. The new events manager is excellent.

– M G (Daughter of Resident)

Resident Icon

My brother has been in this nursing home now for a number of years. His care has been exemplary, particularly now as he is bed-bound. Visitors are encouraged as were his trips out when he was more mobile. He mostly feels content and is secure in the knowledge that he knows and is well-known amongst the management staff.

– J W (Sister of Resident)

Resident Icon

All staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The home is impeccably clean and tidy no matter when I visit. My wife looks cared for and comfortable. Although the building itself is old, it is well-kept and in good condition.

A Legacy of Care and Comfort

Ginu Thomas

Ginu Thomas

Registered Manager

I have worked as a nurse for the past 30 years, 22 of them at Westhampnett House. The last 7 years I have been lucky enough to have taken on the role of registered manager. I am passionate about person-centred care, ensuring everyone we support is made to feel special, respected, and comfortable for their stay with us. For me, it’s a vocation, not just a job. I have a dedicated team, with many of them here for 10 years or more. Together, we work hard to ensure that Westhampnett House is always a happy and caring home for our residents.
