The Poets is a brand-new, luxury nursing home in the heart of Worthing nestled in secure landscaped gardens.
Their dedicated staff are passionate about providing a high standard of 24-hour specialist nursing care for older people.
The interior of the home is finished to the highest standard, with spacious communal areas and bedrooms. All bedrooms feature en-suite wet rooms and are fully furnished, including a personal fridge, telephones and large wall mounted smart TV’s. The ground floor garden rooms offer personal patios while the first-floor garden rooms enjoy private balconies.
Several bedrooms were created to accommodate two beds, so couples can be together always. These rooms are larger and offer more seating and space. The penthouse rooms on the 2nd floor are designed to allow couples to create their own accommodation as they interconnect; with the potential for a bedroom and a living space if desired.
Many areas are air conditioned and WiFi is free and available throughout the home. The Bistro and entertainment lounge have large glass sliding doors which open out on to the manicured gardens.

My father was treated with respect, kindness and care as he entered the final stage of his life. The staff made sure my father was comfortable and would sit and talk to him when he didn't want to leave his room. My father struggled with being in a facility but all the staff made him comfortable and...
Family are kept well-informed and regularly updated. Visits were always lovely and meals can be taken in the restaurant together. When my Dad couldn't walk he was given extra care moving him and was helped to feel independent.
Special mention must be made of the manager and staff. The manager's kindness to my father and staff's kindness to me will never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone at the Poets - I'm sorry I don't know all your names but I remember all your kindnesses.
My Dad passed away recently and whilst going through his phone I found a selfie of him smiling happily in the Bistro with one of the carers. I shall treasure this. Thank you.

It's a fantastic nursing home. Practically brand new, very comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and staffed by a great team who really do their best to make their residents' time with them as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. My father was dreading going into care and is actually very happy with his life at The Poets. It's a great relief knowing that he is being so well cared for by the great team The Poets has.
I was given a personal recommendation to the Poets and I can't thank my friend enough. My mum receives what I believe is the best possible care in the most amazing environment. The Manageress is top notch and this flows down from her to all her staff. Wonderful, thank you The Poets.

2. All the staff were courteous, helpful, respectful and attentive to my personal requests and preferences.
3. Medication was administered according to the hospital discharge instructions. One felt confident in the medical/nursing professionalism.
4. Food was a bit bland and green veggies were sadly always soggy. Fresh fruit is always available on request.
5. I would recommend this home unreservedly.
My mum has been in The Poets since May 2023. The care and kindness that my mum receives is excellent. All the staff know my mum as an individual and always strive to meet her needs.

Beautiful surroundings, spotlessly clean. Friendly and caring staff. Good communications. Residents are treated as individuals. Thorough, kind and well-trained staff, no complaints at all

The home itself is very well designed and kept to exceptionally high standards. Every effort is made to ensure that the residents are comfortable to enable patients to enjoy as full a life as possible.
A wonderful and varied programme of activities is arranged throughout the week. There are many different areas around the home where patients can sit or explore, and the staff give the impression that nothing is too much trouble!
Care bells are answered promptly and efficiently. Manual handling of patients is conducted very professionally and with up-to-date apparatus. Physiotherapy is provided to patients who require this support by a very well-respected and able physiotherapist.
This home is extremely well managed and run.

We looked at many nursing homes before choosing The Poets for my mum in November 2022. The rooms are large and well-equipped and the building and gardens are beautiful. There are lots of communal spaces where residents are assisted in joining the friends they make for coffee in the Bistro, lunch in the dining room and fun and creative pursuits in the activities room. The nursing and care team are attentive and respectful, the activities team is enthusiastic and makes participating lots of fun for the residents and no question or concern is too much trouble for the reception, admin and management team. As a family, we have always been welcomed and treated with kindness which has been much appreciated following the frustrating time we experienced when Mum was in the hospital. We are kept well informed of Mum's health, food and activities each day via the app. Mum is very happy and able to make her own daily choices and the staff are very friendly and welcoming to us as a family.
My dad is more than happy here and I feel we have chosen a fabulous home for Dad.

This is the most beautiful nursing home that you will ever see. The staff are outstanding and cannot do enough for you and take the most amazing care of your loved ones. My mother-in-law is currently here for end-of-life care and she couldn't be in a better place - thank you.

When you are trying to do the very best for an elderly relative, where do you start in finding the right nursing home? Please let me share our experience at The Poets. Mum was admitted at very short notice, she couldn't believe how fresh and modern the whole building looked. From day one, the staff helped her settle in and always respected her dignity in a kind and gentle way. This week, Mum passed away. Through the excellent care and dedication of The Poets team, Mum was able to sleep away, peacefully in her room with her son by her side. A huge thank you to all The Poets team on duty that day, for caring for Mum and us too. At The Poets, the manager was always ready and willing to listen if ever we had things to discuss and indeed, implemented our requests wherever she could. We feel, in our sad time of loss, our friendship with The Poets team will live on.

The Poets is a new build care home that will impress immediately from the approach from the road. Once inside the building it exudes quality and care. The facilities are second to none and go beyond our experience with other homes. My mother-in-law has an incredibly large room with dedicated wet room although from what we have seen all rooms are oversized. Our need for palliative care at a time when the local hospice was sadly unable to meet the timelines has been met and exceeded.
My husband and I have spent a month in the care home and we have nothing but praise for the care and kindness we have received. The staff are very good at what they do and are always willing to help you in any way they can, I would say I have really enjoyed staying here and would tell all my...
My husband and I have spent a month in the care home and we have nothing but praise for the care and kindness we have received. The staff are very good at what they do and are always willing to help you in any way they can, I would say I have really enjoyed staying here and would tell all my friends it's the home to come to if you needed to be looked after.
I visit my friend and I have to say the staff are fantastic. The home is clean with beautiful surroundings. I was present when it was lunchtime and I thought I would have to leave but I was welcomed and offered a coffee and I sat with my friend while she had lunch. The atmosphere was brilliant a...
I would recommend this home to everyone.
