  • Avon Manor, Worthing
Avon Manor is part of the Cobham Care Group whose first home, Avon House, was one of the first care homes in the area to specialise in Dementia Care. Avon Manor is a detached Victorian mansion situated in a pleasant and quiet residential area with adjacent parking and easy access to public transport. It is also only a short walk to Worthing town centre and the seafront.

The Cobham Care 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 Manor, information about a resident’s life and loved ones is gathered from relatives soon after admission. This allows the 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.

Avon Manor employs 30 care staff who 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.

28 residents are accommodated in single rooms across three floors - many of which have en-suite facilities. Whilst every room is fully furnished, Avon Manor are pleased to accommodate any personal belongings a resident may wish to bring. All of the living areas are comfortably furnished, especially the three ground floor lounges - one of which is specifically for those seeking peace and quiet.

Please feel free to contact Avon Manor 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 Manor at any time to see for yourself what the home has to offer.

Avon Manor is a remarkable and exceptional home in every sense. Their compassion and care to the residents is outstanding. The cleanliness, the food, all outstanding. Also, the creativity, therapy,
The love and warmth from staff as you enter the home is very comforting, as when you leave, knowing
your loved one is safe and well cared for.
I can only express my admiration and gratitude.

I cannot thank and praise the team at Avon Manor enough for all they do for my sister and the other residents. It is a very happy, warm, inviting and friendly home environment. The staff go above and beyond with everything they do with such love and warmth to the finest detail. The amount and range
of activities that is organised and carried out is second to none. I cannot speak highly enough of Avon Manor and their amazing staff.

Avon Manor truly cares for the well being of their residents, going above and beyond to ensure that their residents are comfortable and happy. They have given Mum budgies in her room, as Mum had birds growing up. Mum has had to spend a long time in her bed recently and they have provided great joy
and comfort to her. Although Mum had been in her room the staff ensure that Mum is included in any activities or visits. One recent visit saw Mum singing along to a clarinet player. The love, care and attention Mum has received here is exemplary.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At a time of utter chaos and bleakness, my wife went into Avon Manor. She has now been there for 5 years. I am unable to adequately put into words my feelings about the home, as I do not have any criticisms of the way she has been treated and looked after. It is the complete package in every way with
superb care and mental stimulation, and it leaves me knowing that she is in the best possible place. Thank you all at Avon Manor for what you do and achieve.

We are so pleased with the level of care, compassion and support given to our Mum. She arrived at Avon Manor in December 2024 and has settled into her new home so well. The staff are absolutely amazing, residents are kept really busy with a great variety of activities on offer throughout the week, which
helps to enrich their lives.
We are so grateful for all the care that Mum receives at Avon Manor, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other families.

Avon Manor is a wonderful place should you be trying to make the oh so difficult decision to move a loved one into care. 'The Manor' is a real Family, providing love , laughter and entertainment every day. It is such a stimulating environment and I am convinced helps keep all the residents on an even
plane, ensuring they retain both dignity and a precious piece what makes them the person you know and love. The staffing levels are noticeably significant ensuring that there is always a carer on hand, to help and encourage the residents. Kindness is the key ingredient and this is delivered 24/7. Residents are often found out and about on outings that suit their own special needs and are not confined to the home environment. I always get the feeling I have been somewhere special when I visit never leaving anxious and steadfast that the decision was made for the very best reasons and in the interest of my dear Mother in Law who continues to thrive and get the most out of her experience.

Dad has been at Avon Manor for 3 1/2 years now. He has ways had outstanding care. He is very happy there. The social media posts are greatly reassuring to myself and family as everyone always looks so happy.
Friends often comment on how well dad looks and we'll looked after.
He has never asked to
go home from the moment he went in there.
The entertainment put on for them is so engaging and trys to involve everyone.
The staff are amazing and always happy to help. Couldn't recommend Avon Manor highly enough and I often do.

My Dad moved into Avon Manor in the middle of Feb 2025. In that time the manager and all staff could not have been more approachable or friendly. They have always taken the time to talk to me about concerns and my Dad's ongoing care. They are flexible and completely focused on keeping him safe and comfortable.
So far I am extremely impressed with the facilities and the level of service provided.

Our dad suffers from dementia and had reached a stage where he needed full time care. We secured a place for him at Avon Manor, and we have been so pleased with the level of care, respect and engagement that all of the staff provide dad. They work very hard to make it the best possible environment.
It is not easy but the team are caring, fun, and keep dad happy and entertained with a regular set of activities from singing and dancing to celebrations on significant days like Easter or St Patrick's Day. Dad is very happy, which makes us happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise the quality of care that this care home provides enough. Having to move my father into full time care was a very difficult decision. We tried two other care homes more local to where the family lives, one with an outstanding CQC rating, but neither were able to provide the care my father
so desperately needed and he became very withdrawn and unhappy.
Avon Manor were literally life savers, and I was even able to take him for day visits before moving him in. Since arriving last year, they really took time to get to know and understand him, and we are now so very lucky that he is back to being his happy, gentle and kind self. The team genuinely care about their residents, include them in all decisions and discussions, are gentle, patient and very kind and go way and above in order to provide person centred care for each of their residents. For the first time since his diagnosis nearly 10 years ago, I can finally relax and know he is being truly looked after.

We are extremely happy that our Aunt is a resident at Avon Manor. She has been here for five years now. We have complete confidence in the care that she receives. We are always contacted with any concerns. The staff have been very supportive and accommodating in dealing with both her needs and some
difficult circumstances we have had. All the staff we have encountered from the management to the care staff have always been friendly, welcoming and kind. We have always enjoyed the events that Avon Manor put on for families and residents and love seeing the fun the residents have every week via photographs on social media. We would definitely recommend Avon Manor.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Avon Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.902 for Avon Manor is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 379 Ratings = 4.902
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Avon Manor is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
