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.

I would like to give an excellent review to Avon House. My mother was looked after so well by the staff, the manager and her team. The food is very good. They were so kind and thoughtful right up to her dying hour. It is so sad she has passed at 91. Well done everyone and thank you.

My mother has been in the care home for the past 10 months and I cannot commend the management and staff highly enough. Daily visits from entertainers, musicians and therapists and also in-house activities have helped structure my mother's mental health. Monthly updates and frequent relative group meetings discussing the needs of residents and giving support to the families. My mother has been taken on excursions to tea rooms in the country and visits to the towns and seaside. Visiting times are often open-ended and relatives and friends are encouraged to join in with the activities. The food is excellent and the liquid refreshments are encouraged and offered all day. My mother's medical needs are taken care of. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

My mothers condition is gradually deteriorating and I feel she is in a secure, caring and happy environment to end her last days. I would recommend this care home to anyone who requires Dementia care.
I have always found the management and staff to be welcoming, when not busy they often have a chat with me which I find pleasant. The home is always clean and presentable. My sister, brother and I all feel the same, and are most pleased our mother has made it her home!

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.
