In Chester, you’ll find plenty of options for high-quality care. Some homes offer quiet, residential settings that focus on daily support relating to your loved one’s personal hygiene, while others provide specialist nursing and dementia support in purpose-built facilities. Couples can also be supported to move into care together, with a number of homes offering double occupancy rooms or adjoining suites.
Several of Chester’s top-rated care homes, including Belong Chester, are known for their Care Quality Commission (CQC) 'Outstanding' or 'Good' ratings and welcoming communities. Homes range from those with tranquil courtyards and therapy rooms to luxury settings that include private dining, cinema spaces, and spa-style bathrooms. Grosvenor Manor offers residential, dementia, and nursing care on a permanent or temporary basis, including for those living with complex conditions.
Many of these homes make the most of Chester’s surroundings. Residents often enjoy outings to Grosvenor Park or walks along the River Dee, and some homes arrange regular visits to the city centre for coffee shops, community events, or local markets. Another of Chester’s strengths is its access to healthcare. The Countess of Chester Hospital is nearby, and local GP services regularly visit care homes, helping residents receive consistent care.

With backgrounds in social care, these assessments go beyond care, also looking at overall safety and how fulfilled residents are.
