Questions families ask
Can families visit Dean House before someone moves in?
Yes. Prospective residents are invited to visit Dean House with family and friends before becoming a resident, helping make the move into the home smoother.
Does Dean House have rooms for couples?
Yes. There are 25 bedrooms in total, including two double bedrooms suitable for couple occupancy. All rooms have ensuite facilities.
Can residents keep their existing GP?
Where possible, residents can remain with their own GP. If they move outside the GP’s catchment area, the home can help them choose a local doctor.
How much does Dean House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dean House for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,046 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
