The Littlehampton and Rustington Housing Society Ltd purchased Rustington Hall in 1948 under the guiding hand of Percy Booker. The original hall was established as a residential care home for older people.
Between 1964 and 1983 eighty-seven sheltered homes were constructed which is today known as Oakhurst Gardens. This was followed by a purpose-built nursing wing in 1997 and further works to extend in 2015. The completion of these works provides a unique retirement village in the heart of Rustington.
The Society is an exempt charity and is registered as an Industrial & Provident Society with the Registrar of Friendly Societies. It is also registered with the Housing Co-operation as a Housing Association.
The staff at Rustington Hall provide a warm and comfortable setting where residents are safe and secure and can enjoy a real family atmosphere. Many of the staff have enjoyed working at Rustington Hall for over a decade.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rustington Hall to anyone who needed care. This home runs efficiently. The care staff really do know the concerns and personalities of the individual residents and act accordingly with empathy. Always bright and cheery. I'm very happy with the individual care my dad receives here. All lovely people who go above and beyond their pay grade.
Many thanks,
The Team at Rustington Hall.
The staff are all very caring and helpful. The manager was very professional. The room was good and the care was exceptional. Would recommend this care home to everyone.

Although my dad was only resident in Rustington Hall for around 17 days before he passed, the palliative care was not only excellent, the passion, love and welfare was beyond reproach. When a loved one goes into a care/nursing home, you expect the best. Rustington Hall far exceeded this and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to prospective clients.
Many thanks.
Thank you all for looking after my beautiful mother, she was only with you for a short time but she was very well looked after. The staff and careers are excellent always there for the residents to help them daily. Thank you all so much.

Rustington Hall was amazing. Mum was on a hospital ward requiring end of life care and was offered a room without hesitation when the hospital contacted them. From the moment my mother arrived she was treated with great kindness, dignity and compassion. As a family we cannot praise our experience...
We are so grateful to all staff involved with mum and also for the kindness and understanding given to us as a family.
A huge thank you to all staff
We thank you all for your very kind words and wish you and your family well during this difficult time.
I shall pass on your kind comments to the staff team.
Many thanks

The staff treated Dad as a person not just as someone at the end of his life. They looked after all his medical needs and did everything they could to make his stay as good as it could possibly be under the circumstances.

Since my wife entered Rustington Hall over 3 years ago I have never failed to be impressed by the high standard of care and professionalism with which she has been treated with great respect and dignity by all the staff. The care and food supplied are first class. Thank you all.

Rustington Hall is a brilliant home. Not only do they care in all medical and welfare eg, food, personal hygiene and all that goes with caring, but their social skills are amazing with all activities keeping minds alert and entertaining. Interaction with families keeping you advised and included in all associated with loved ones. My mother has been there for 10-months and has really come alive with lots of interest and involvement with all that's happening there.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review of our service! I shall share this feedback with the team.

Mum is well cared for and they know her well now, perceptive of her needs. Nowhere gets everything right all the time but if something isn’t working, other approaches are tried and it is fixed. The introduction of a customer relations role is a great idea. Carers and nurses are often busy with residents, which is as it should be, so having someone whose role includes specifically dealing with families works very well and makes communication so much easier. Staff have been brilliant throughout Covid and lockdown. I also feel welcomed when I visit.
Thank you very much for your review, we shall provide feedback to staff!
Very organised and caring.

The residents are treated very well and looked after. All their needs seem to be met and my mother-in-law seems very happy and settled. Activities are regular and anyone can get involved, and entertainment is regular and enjoyable.

Since appointing a customer relations manager I have seen great improvements. Nothing is too much trouble in helping with individual needs of my mother as everyone is different. Sometimes some carers seem to be in a rush which I understand as they have a lot of residents to deal with, but spending just a little more time with my mother could make all the difference.
Thank you for your review, I shall share this with the team! Many thanks. The Team at Rustington Hall.
We are very happy with our mother's care and the support she’s been given over the last 3 years. The staff are very attentive and supportive and have been especially supportive during the recent lockdown. Thank you for all your hard work.

Mum has been a resident since Jan 2017. We have found all the staff very attentive and caring at all times. During the recent Covid-19 lockdown the care home has been very proactive in enabling us to have weekly Skype calls with Mum. Rustington Hall has an excellent program of entertainers...
My wife is a physio and has considerable experience of attending clients in care homes. We also had to recently research care homes for my father-in-law in Suffolk. In our experience, Rustington Hall stands out on many fronts as being exceptional and good value for money. Rustington Hall is a trust and owns/manages a large number of properties in its grounds that are rented out to elderly residents who live independently. We understand that the income from this portfolio of properties enables Rustington Hall to subsidise the running costs of its care home.
Many Kind regards, The team at Rustington Hall.

My dad was transferred here from a local hospice for end of life care. This was an incredibly stressful time as it was during some of the worse outbreaks of COVID but I was immediately reassured by the fact that due to their extreme care they had no patients with COVID and their precautions to avoid any situations that could result in an outbreak were fantastic. The staff were reassuring, caring and nothing was too much trouble. Dad loved a latte and even though he rarely drank it they made him one every day. My son got married in the US during this time and the staff ensured that Dad got to see his grandson get married and the videos of that day will be cherished forever. We sadly lost dad after a short 4 weeks there and the support they gave me, my brother and my son was amazing and appreciated. I cannot thank all the amazing staff enough.

At this very challenging time for management and staff at Rustington Hall nursing home, it is important that they get recognition for keeping residents safe from the COVID virus. I forgot to mention in my previous review about the excellent Catering Staff we have. Our Chef produces delicious food and makes everything from scratch. She is always thinking of new things to tempt us, and regularly has themed lunches and food tasting days for us. All the ingredients are fresh, cooked to perfection, and full of nourishment. Alternatives are always available and nothing is ever too much trouble for the Catering Staff. Food is an extremely important part of daily living and we look forward to mealtimes every day. Families should not worry about sending their loved ones to live at Rustington Hall nursing home, as they will be greatly looked after and every precaution against the virus will continue to be upheld.
Many kind regards,
The Team at Rustington Hall.

Myself and my family can't thank the fantastic dedicated staff enough, that cared for and supported our Mum. It has given us so much comfort to know she was cared for and looked after to such a high standard. We highly recommended Rustington Hall and all the wonderful staff or Fairies as my Mum would call them, for everything they have done for her, and the support they have shown us, especially during this difficult time.
Wishing you all the best moving forward.

It is an absolute credit and a remarkable achievement that Rustington Hall has kept Covid out of the home and Aunty remains safe and well.

The guest suite is very clean and homely as we come from Ireland it can be hard to find accommodation and are most grateful for the use of the suite and of course the car! The lovely atmosphere and the welcome...
We are kept up to date with everything on a regular basis and we know that our sister is being well cared for which is so important for us. We look forward to seeing all that is going on on the website. Keep up the good work and stay safe and well and we will be able to visit next year.
Thank you for taking time to review our service, we are thrilled to hear the positive feedback, we hope to have you back as soon as possible once the world is (somewhat) back to normality. I shall pass all praise to staff and we are wishing you safe and well during this time. Forever Grateful, the team at Rustington Hall.
