Westhampnett House

Westhampnett House is a nursing and dementia care home located on Stane Street in Westhampnett, on the outskirts of Chichester, West Sussex, in the United Kingdom. It operates from a Grade II listed Georgian building that has been sympathetically restored, together with later additions, and is set within 3.5 acres of parkland at the foot of the South Downs, adjacent to the Saxon parish church and the Goodwood Estate. The home caters for 32 residents and describes itself as well known in the area for providing a high level of care. The home's services are aimed primarily at people over the age of 65. Its stated specialisms include nursing care, dementia care, and wound care, and it also offers respite and short-stay provision. Day-to-day life is built around personalised care, with residents encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own belongings and family photographs. Menus are planned with input from residents and the care team, and a varied activity programme is designed to cater to diverse interests and abilities. The property itself is central to the home's identity. Westhampnett House retains period features such as chandeliers, high ceilings and bay windows, and its grounds include a listed Dovecote, a pond, an apple orchard and gardens. The site sits on Stane Street, the Roman road described as the greatest physical mark the Romans left on Sussex, and the location once formed the heart of the original Roman village. The home markets itself on a combination of historic character, home comforts and warm, old-fashioned care and hospitality. Operationally, the home is led by a Registered Manager, Ginu Thomas, and provides a direct telephone line and an enquiry process for prospective residents and their families. It also publishes reviews and testimonials from residents' relatives. The brand is a single-site care provider rather than a multi-site chain, and no parent company, ownership group or listing status is disclosed in the available evidence.
