The residence has a homely feel to it, and it spotless. Whilst it may not be very modern the architecture, environment and gardens are beautiful. I cannot fault the staff who are superb, professional, kind, courteous and friendly and went out of their way to make you feel welcome.
A minor issue at the beginning was dealt with swiftly. The staff were clearly upset that my mother in law had been distressed and were at pains to reassure her and resolve a difficult situation, above and beyond what I would hope for.
The food was excellent and certainly plentiful. The ‘maintenance man’ was an absolute delight and when her mobile phone charger was broken he organised another one on an online retailer for her. Her pre-assessment was easy and did not require vast amounts of paperwork.

Whenever I walked around the building I saw residents being well cared for if needed, and allowed their independence when appropriate. As a nurse of 47 years, I was very impressed indeed with the home.

My aunt of 104 moved into St Wilfrid's six months ago extremely reluctantly - having 'managed perfectly well' before. It took her a while to settle but she now tells me she is lucky, she has a lovely room and the food is excellent (though there is sometimes a delay in serving and assisting with cutting up food). And staff are extremely kind. The activities organiser tries hard to lay on activities which will catch the imagination of all residents even if they don't all engage as much as they could. If my aunt could wish for 'extras', it would be an opportunity for more one to one conversations with someone interested in her life story. She would love to have contact with young children, having been a Barnados nurse and nanny all her life, so I will be interested to see how the contact with the local primary school develops, and she loves it when visitors bring in their dogs. We are happy she is safe and well cared for.

My mother has been in the Priory for six months. She has received kindness and respect from the staff and in return, she loves them all. The food is of an excellent "homemade" standard though it took her time to settle into the huge gaps between supper and breakfast. The laundry is beautifully done. The matron runs a happy ship. The laundry man comes instantly when required. The gravel in the car park is far too large and is impossible for the elderly to walk on or to push a wheelchair.

She was happy there afterwards and was looked after so well.
She was always clean and tidy and her hair was done beautifully, which was important to her as she was always particular about her appearance.
The staff always had her dressed and ready in her wheelchair, so I could push her to the pub for lunch which she enjoyed.

It is a lovely home and the staff work so hard to provide an excellent level of care for all residents.
They always made him feel special and despite his many medical problems, nothing was ever too much for them to make sure he was comfortable.

My name is Debbie, and I am the Administrator for St Wilfrid’s, and I’ve been here for almost 3 years now!
Prior to working for OSJCT, I worked as a Community Carer for 3 years, but due to decreasing physical health, I needed to find something that could combine my passion for caring in some capacity with a less physical role, and behold, the Administrator role came up
I love meeting and greeting Residents, their families and visitors to our Home and showing off our unique, yet homely, residence. Arundel and the Castle in particular hold a very special place in my heart, stemming back to my childhood Primary School residential trip, many years ago, so it’s absolutely wonderful to be reminded of that experience on a daily basis.
I work part-time due to having 4 children at Home and 3 demanding dogs, and my outside interests include walking, nature, family time and spending time with those I love.

I was born in 1964 at home in my parents’ flat above their butcher's shop in East Preston. A few years later, we moved to Broadwater, where I grew up with my three brothers.
I have always enjoyed keeping active and spending time with family. My hobbies include football, swimming, reading and going on holiday. In my teens, I played football for a local women’s team and was also lucky enough to represent Sussex. I’m a lifelong West Ham supporter! I also love spending time with my grandchildren. My favourite food is Italian, followed closely by ice cream, and I particularly enjoy listening to 80s music.
After leaving school, I started working in greenhouses before spending many years working for The Body Shop. While my children were at school, I became a teaching assistant, which I really enjoyed. I then decided to become a carer, a role I have found incredibly rewarding and continue to enjoy every day.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I sometimes go for a run after work, although somehow I often end up at the pub instead! I also love travelling, especially to Thailand, where I’m originally from.

I’m Alanna, and I have worked here since October 2025. I love seeing our residents enjoying themselves every day and creating moments that brighten their day. Nina and I, also known as the “Terrible Twins” by our residents, love singing and dancing with them and bringing plenty of fun and laughter to the home!
Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, running and travelling, especially to Thailand with Nina. I have a big family who I love spending my free time with, and I also enjoy going out and spending time with my friends.

I have worked as an adult carer at OSJCT for 3 years. Before that, I worked in Early Years for 20 years and have also been a Personnel Director and a Chef. The satisfaction I get from working with the residents at St. Wilfrid’s is second to none. We are able to build fantastic relationships with them and have fun at the same time.
I have 1 daughter who has recently given me a beautiful grandson. I also have a Miniature Dachshund called Pepper. I am lucky enough to live on a farm opposite the South Downs, with acres of land to walk on, and then I come to work in the wonderful historic town of Arundel.
