The Portsmouth Care Market
Portsmouth is a densely populated island city on the south coast and a significant Hampshire care market, with demand for domiciliary care, supported living and residential care across urban communities. Portsmouth City Council is the unitary commissioner, working alongside Hampshire County Council in surrounding areas, and the city sits within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System. High population density and a mix of older residents and younger adults with support needs create varied demand, making Portsmouth accessible for new providers who can evidence quality and safe staffing to CQC.
