CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Shaftesbury Care GRP Limited, Hamilton House is a nursing home in Portsmouth with 60 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in Portsmouth are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2025. 83% of homes in Portsmouth also score 5. Across Portsmouth, 72% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Portsdown View, 1.8 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. It is one of 6 homes run by Shaftesbury Care GRP Limited. 5 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In November 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in May 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Portsmouth, 52% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
