About care in PO11
PO11 covers Hayling Island — a tidal island accessed by a single road bridge off the Hampshire coast between Havant and Chichester Harbour. The 11 care homes here hold 319 beds, a high bed count for an island community of around 18,000 people, reflecting Hayling's strong retirement demographic. Eight homes are rated Good, two Require Improvement, and one is Inadequate. The island's geography creates a self-contained care market: families choosing Hayling Island benefit from a seaside environment but should note that acute hospital access requires crossing to the mainland — a factor in emergency care planning. The RI and Inadequate homes should be reviewed with current CQC data before shortlisting.
