About Westhampnett Nursing Home
Westhampnett is a nursing home near Chichester, West Sussex. We support older people whose needs include nursing care, including people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people with complex health needs can stay with us as those needs change rather than being moved on again. Families who have already been through one difficult move usually recognise the value of that immediately. We work at keeping the nursing from setting the tone of the place. A nursing home can drift into feeling like a ward, and once it does the rest follows: people stop being asked what they would like, days lose any shape of their own, and relatives begin behaving like hospital visitors. So we keep our attention on ordinary things. Meals worth eating. Getting outside when the weather allows. Help without a long wait. Privacy. For residents with physical disabilities we plan the practical side around what somebody can still do themselves rather than what is fastest for us. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We are happy to answer difficult questions and we would think less of anybody who did not ask them.
