Meet The Manager
Nikki Burke is Home Manager at Chichester Grange.
I qualified as a Registered General Nurse in Brighton in 1988, and I have been in the role of Home Manager since 2006, working for various care providers.
I worked for Care UK previously between 2012 and 2015. When I was contacted to rejoin in 2018, I jumped at the chance to return to a provider that has a vision and values that align with my own.
As Home Manager, you need to be focused, dynamic and able to multitask, but also have a vision and a sense of humour. It’s a bit like being an orchestra conductor – you need to be able to oversee different aspects of the home, whilst keeping the whole home working as one to make sweet music.
I love being part of this team, especially when we work as one. I feel proud every day knowing that we make a difference to residents’ lives.
Chichester Grange provides quality care for older people in a luxurious setting. The experienced and committed team deliver the best in permanent and respite residential, nursing and specialist dementia care.
The care the team provides is fully tailored to the individual needs, interests and preferences of each resident. They are passionate about ensuring that residents and their families are fully involved in decisions around their care.
Residents can enjoy a range of luxury facilities including a hair and beauty salon, cinema room, café and inviting lounge areas. Outside there is a beautiful landscaped garden to explore. The team believe moving into a care home is just another part of life, and one that should be enjoyed to the full.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant. Wireless Internet access (WiFi) Our care home has WiFi in some of our residents’ rooms. Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”) Our care home has mobile phone signal in some of our residents’ rooms. Telephone for external calling No, our care home does not provide a telephone in residents’ rooms. |

With the restrictions on visiting during the pandemic, social media platforms such as these offer real insight when you are choosing a provider.
