A warm Victorian care home in Chichester that feels personal and homely.
Cornelius House combines the comfort of a real home with the reassurance of highly attentive care. With just twenty residents, our boutique setting feels calmer, more personal and more familiar than a larger, institutional environment.

Not an institution. A home.
For many families, the feel of a home matters as much as the care itself. Cornelius House has the warmth, character and familiarity of a real home rather than the feel of a large institution. From the moment you walk through the door, the home feels welcoming, calm and personal, somewhere residents can relax.
Character, warmth and charm, built into the walls.
Our Victorian property brings character, warmth and charm to everyday life, helping create an environment that feels personal and homely rather than clinical. It is part of what gives the home its boutique feel and part of what many families remember most when they visit.

Personal space that feels like their own.
Private bedrooms give residents a place to rest, relax and feel comfortable in surroundings that are their own. For many people, that personal space plays an important part in helping the home feel familiar, reassuring and settled.

Where days take shape.
A home is not only about private space. Cornelius House includes welcoming shared spaces where residents can enjoy conversation, companionship, activities, quiet moments, and daily life with others. These spaces help create a sense of warmth and connection, while still allowing each person to enjoy the day in a way that feels right for them.
Calm indoor spaces. Fresh air. The setting around us.
From calm indoor spaces to the opportunity to enjoy fresh air, outdoor moments and the wider setting of the home. Even simple things, a comfortable room, a pleasant shared area, time outdoors, can make a real difference to how a home feels day to day.
Come and walk through the home.
