Second Chef

Our new care home in Chichester opens in the autumn of 2021. We’ll provide quality care for older people in a luxurious setting.

Our new Chichester Grange care home is taking shape on Grosvenor Road. Here, our experienced and committed team will deliver the best in permanent and short-term residential, nursing and specialist dementia care.

Like in all Care UK homes, the care we provide will be fully tailored to the individual needs, interests and preferences of each person we care for. We call this person-centred care. We are also passionate about ensuring that residents and their families are fully involved in decisions around their care. That way, residents feel in control, and receive the care they need in the way they wish.

When you first set foot inside our Chichester Grange care home – with its hair and beauty salon, cinema room, welcoming café and inviting dining rooms – you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve entered a five-star hotel. We believe that moving into a care home is just another part of life, and one that should be enjoyed to the full. So everything from the design of the home, to the meals we provide, and the activities
we organise are all focused on supporting residents to feel like royalty.
