Established in 1991, Avon House was one of the first care homes to specialise in dementia care. The home is part of the Cobham Care Group along with its sister home Avon Manor. The home is situated in a quiet, tree-lined road that is only a short distance from Worthing Hospital, Worthing town centre and the seafront.

Established in 1991, Avon House was one of the first care homes to specialise in dementia care. The home is part of the Cobham Care Group along with its sister home Avon Manor. The home is situated in a quiet, tree-lined road that is only a short distance from Worthing Hospital, Worthing town centre and the seafront.
Cobham Care’s philosophy is that every resident is an individual - individuals’ needs change and therefore need to be continually addressed. In order to achieve this at Avon House, information about a resident’s life and loved ones is gathered from relatives soon after admission. This allows carers to better understand the individual and treat them with a greater degree of sensitivity and understanding. They pride themselves on the friendly, caring and homely atmosphere they provide. Where the residents are encouraged to lead an active, dignified and independent life.
The large number of staff are selected for their kindness, patience and their ability to care for people with dementia. All staff are provided with training in first aid, manual handling, understanding dementia, safeguarding vulnerable adults and other relevant subjects. The careful selection process and ongoing training and assessment is a comfort to relatives who, understandably, are very worried about entrusting loved ones to the care of others. It also ensures that the residents are receiving the highest level of care.
The residents’ rooms are situated on the ground and first floors. Whilst every room is fully furnished, Avon House is pleased to accommodate any personal belongings a resident may wish to bring.
Please feel free to contact Avon House and the Registered Manager, would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. She would also like to invite you to look around Avon House at any time to see for yourself what the home has to offer.

Knowing my dad is safe and secure at Avon House is a huge relief. The staff makes it a fantastic environment for the residents to feel comfortable and happy. They are always doing engaging activities, providing good nourishment and great care to all residents. They give regular and detailed reports/updates so that we are always kept in the loop. It is always clean and I love taking my little boy to visit his grandad. I couldn't imagine a better place for dad to be.
Many thanks for taking the time to review Avon House.
All the staff are lovely and I enjoy lots of activities, especially the Arts and Crafts.

Since my mum has been at Avon House it has taken all the worry away. She is well cared for and I know that if the staff have any concerns they call me to discuss so that I am fully aware of any situation. The activities are good and varied and all the staff are so friendly and treat all the residents well and engage with them. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone whose loved one is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Avon House is a small wonderful dementia care home which is run excellently. I visit my mother every week and I have never had any concerns in the three years she has been there. She is treated with respect and dignity. Always clean, nicely dressed, never in dirty clothes and has never smelt. The staff are all so kind, assist my mother, family and treat her with respect. They also encourage residents to participate in activities which take place frequently. Outside entertainment organised and immensely enjoyed by all. Any concerns are always addressed and discussed in full, including family, all done in confidence. Thank you Avon House.

She was very anxious but the lovely staff did everything possible to settle her. I was able to bring in personal items of hers and to aid her to feel at home.
Over a few weeks, it became obvious she was becoming more her old self despite the increasing dementia. She wasn’t remembering to eat at home but with amazing food and regular snacks, she looks so much healthier.
All the staff have taken the time to get to know her and treat her as an individual to enable her to feel safe and understood.
My aunty enjoys the company of others and happily joins in the many activities the home regularly offers. I am the very proud owner of a beautiful bead necklace she lovingly made for me.
Sadly, her dementia has declined to the degree that she cannot return to independent living and I’m so happy she is to stay permanently at Avon House, especially as I live so far away.
My thanks go to all the wonderful staff.

Very caring home. Nothing is a problem, whatever the residents need/want they can have. Very clean. Always activities to do. Good menu. Definitely a home from home. I would be happy if a family member was to be here.

I have a patient I care for who is a very good friend. He is so happy and am happy. He was so lonely, caring at home was so lonely for him. When I visited him he was so happy. He said the food was good staff are so nice friendly and caring and he loves being at this home, which is very important for him and myself. I can visit him any time of the day and I am always welcomed by the staff. When my friend is happy I am happy. Patient, happy nurses thank you.

Avon House is wonderful, the staff are so caring and dedicated and make it the best environment for the residents as possible. My dad was there from May 2022 until very recently when he sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s. We are so grateful to the marvellous team. Dad settled so well and it was a pleasure to visit him there, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and the home is absolutely spotless. Avon House is a shining example of how a care home should be and they all deserve the highest of praise. Knowing my dad was being looked after by such a marvellous team made the sadness of his condition so much easier to deal with. We were so lucky that my dad spent his last few months in Avon House. Our whole family thanks them all from the bottom of our hearts.

Tracy has been working in health and social care since 1990 and has gained a wealth of experience and knowledge over the years
As the Manager of Avon House, I feel that I can make a difference in individual's lives who are on their dementia journey, by promoting the core values of care, privacy, dignity, rights, choices and independence. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to support and care for people in the later stages of life, providing the care they wish to receive in the way they would like, just because a person is living with dementia, does not mean they are unable to make decisions. We are their voice and I am passionate that they should be heard.
I have worked every job in care over the years and the most important part to me is enriching our Resident's lives and making many happy memories. I am proud to have the opportunity to look after others and work with such a great team.
