About care in PO19
PO19 covers central Chichester in West Sussex — a cathedral city and market town with an exceptionally well-preserved Roman street grid, a thriving arts and cultural scene built around the Chichester Festival Theatre, and one of the highest proportions of over-65 residents in the South East. The 10 care homes here provide 503 beds — the highest capacity of any postcode in this cohort — with a solid average CQC rating of 3.8; West Sussex County Council is one of the larger adult social care commissioners in the South East and operates a robust preferred-provider scheme. Self-funded fees in Chichester reflect the area's affluence and high property values, so families funding care privately should budget towards the higher end of the South East range.
