Hello there
I booked myself into Rustington Care Home straight from the hospital after my knee replacement op. I have nothing but praise for the staff who did exactly what I hoped they would do - they got me used to walking with crutches and to going up and down stairs, so that I was fully prepared to go home and get on with my life.I really don't think I could have done it without them.
It is a very friendly place, the food was excellent and there are lots of opportunities to interact with the other guests. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any kind of rehabilitation needs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience following your knee replacement surgery.
We're really pleased you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and meeting other guests during your stay. And it is really wonderful to hear that we were able to give you the confidence and support you needed to regain your mobility and feel fully prepared to return home. Your kind comments about the food and rehabilitation support mean a great deal to the whole team.
Thank you again for your recommendation and we wish you all the very best wishes for your continued recovery.
I would echo all the comments about the sensational care you receive at the RCH. Living on my own I have been visiting as a respite client lately with two Christmas visits and another planned for june. The superb food, comfortable accomodation the welcome and care given by the staff and the...
Thank you all for the care you give each individual who comes through your doors.
Thank you for your kind words. Your description of staying with us as "going on a cruise without the rocking and endless days at sea" really made us smile and beautifully captures the spirit of Rustington Convalescent Home!

With the sea on our doorstep, superb food and such lovely guests to look after, we really do have a very special combination! Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you in June.

Please look at my previous remarks. They are good. The rooms have been undated since i have heard.
The staff has not changed much since I had my first stay after open heart surgery.
They were always helpful . Food excellent which helped me get my appetite back.
Beautiful views over the sea and a conservatory to sit in in the sun. Visitors always welcome.
I needed to give an excellent review as good was not good enough. I hope to go again soon.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and generous review. We are so pleased you enjoyed the food - our chef and kitchen team put a great deal of care into every meal, so they will be delighted to read your kind words.

It means a lot to everyone here that you have chosen to return to Rustington, and even more that you felt your stay deserved to be described as excellent. Familiar faces, good food, sea views and a warm welcome are all such an important part of feeling comfortable while recovering, so your comments will be very much appreciated by the whole team.
From all of us, it was a real pleasure to have you stay, and we would be very happy to welcome you back again whenever you feel the need for rest, recovery or a short break by the sea.

This is a most remarkable place and exceeds all expectations. Others have commented on the facilities and the outstanding dedication of the staff. I can only echo those commends and endorse them fully. The whole environment in this establishment is highly conducive to post operative recovery and it is hard to imagine a more delightful environment. My stay was seamless from arrival to departure tinged by sadness when the day for departure came. Mitigated by the knowledge that I shall be returning within six months following the replacement of my other knee. So grateful thanks to the company for continuing to support this unique facility and to the Manager, her colleagues and staff, for outstanding care.
I cannot recommend Rustington Convenience Home more highly.
After staying 2 weeks I was able to go home and look after myself with confidence.
Thank you.

Superb in all respects. Staff are all extremely well-trained and knowledgeable and caring. The building and general environment all first-class. I cannot imagine a better place to be to aid a good recovery. Everyone involved gave 110% of their time and expertise.

I felt in very safe hands and my family were reassured too that even with a serious and unpredictable illness I would be well cared for. Full marks to everyone, thank you.
The ideal residence to welcome you after surgery. Nursing support is available daily. The staff have been, without exception, extremely kind and caring. The general atmosphere is encouraging and respectful. The meals are excellent. The general atmosphere is friendly and encouraging.

I came to this convalescent home to get back on my feet after some gruelling radiotherapy. All the carers and nurses were very kind, caring and professional. I was able to extend my week for two extra days without having to change rooms. When I left, I was sorry to say goodbye, but did feel able to care for myself after such a restful stay.

I came to Rustington Convalescent Home after major surgery to recuperate initially for one week. I was received with kind concern and found myself surrounded by such warm personal, competent professional care. Every person I met, housekeeping team, chefs, carers, medical staff, admin team - they all are sincerely professionals. They all work together to support the residents. The surroundings, buildings and gardens are beautiful and all contribute to the healing process. I stayed for two weeks, nurtured and restored. This is an outstanding institution. I am so grateful.

From the moment you arrive here you know you've come to a very special place. You have the beautiful buildings, gardens and delicious homemade food just to start with, but what makes this place truly exceptional is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them. You are treated as an individual and like a guest rather than just a resident. The kindness, care and understanding I was shown was outstanding. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come here again.

The care home was recommended by an organisation which my late father enrolled my sister, myself and my brother many years ago. My sister recently had a knee replacement, contracted pneumonia and was in the hospital for 6 weeks. The convalescent home was a Godsend as the two weeks there helped her with her mobility and confidence. My wife and I stayed the middle weekend as it was my sister's birthday and we were made very welcome. All the staff were wonderful as was the physio, the hairdresser and other therapists.
On arrival, a member of staff welcomed me and actually remembered me from previous stays. The rooms were clean, tidy and well appointed. As for the food, it could not be faulted. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all fantastic as well as for morning and afternoon tea. PS I put on 2 kilos!

I went there initially because it was right by the sea but didn't expect so many other benefits. Thank you Rustington

I can't praise the whole experience of being cared for by Rustington Convalescent Home enough.

A place of rest and healing. Lovely building thoughtfully and comfortably decorated and furnished. Welcoming with a variety of different shared rooms from sitting and watching the sea, having a snooze, watching TV or playing cards, chess, draughts, Scrabble or doing puzzles. Generous meals and excellent staff including some trained medical members. To be treated with care and as an intelligent human. Perfect.

I took the full two weeks to recover and was very happy with almost everything. I wish there was a laundry service (would pay extra for it) for people who do not live locally. The fitted sheet on my bed kept coming off (too small) and my quilt was very hot I wish there were more activities (trips to chemists etc) and finally any chance of a gym?

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry there was a problem with your bedclothes whilst you were with us as this could have easily been rectified.We do organise 3 trips per week to the local area and did lay on an extra trip to Worthing for you during your stay. We are always happy to book taxis if anyone needs to go out independently but our local chemist does deliver items other than prescriptions. There is a gym in the leisure centre which is almost next door to the Home. I hope you found your stay beneficial and would be happy to return.
