Norden House offers residential, nursing, and dementia care, boasting sweeping views of the quiet countryside and is located less than a mile away from Climping Beach.
The home's design and the type of care it offers are innovative and unique, with a focus on making residents feel at home. It features four wings, each with 16 bedrooms, designed over two storeys. The wings are split into two separate households, each with eight "homes," providing a small family atmosphere that helps reduce stress and improve socialisation among residents.
Each household offers spacious ensuite bedrooms, communal lounges, dining rooms, reading rooms, a garden lounge, and terraces that overlook the landscaped and secure purpose-designed grounds for residents and their visitors. Additionally, there is ample car parking, and well-being facilities include a hair salon, holistic therapy room and tea room.
The care home opened in February 2024 and Norden House is now accepting enquiries from those interested in residing there.

Norden House in Climping is simply the best care home I have ever seen. When my mother, Ann (92), was discharged from hospital after a long stay, I accepted her placement there immediately because I already knew what a wonderful home it was. One year later, I firmly believe that the exceptional...
Norden House truly feels like a home from home. I can visit at any time, sit and watch TV with my mum and her new friends, bring my dog along, and just be a son again. That is a priceless gift.
Whenever family and friends visit, I am proud to show them around, and they always comment on how lovely the home is. My mum has never asked to leave and often boasts that she has the best garden room in the whole place!
Thank you to every member of staff for your kindness, compassion and outstanding care. We will always be grateful.

Dear S D,Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We are delighted to hear that your husband has received such excellent care and nursing support since arriving with us, and that you have been pleased with the meals and cleanliness within the home. Your kind words about our staff across all departments truly mean a great deal.
After 45 years together, we completely understand how difficult and emotional it must be to spend time apart. We are so pleased that our team has been able to offer both you and your husband comfort and support during this time.
I will ensure your lovely feedback is shared with the whole team, who will be deeply touched by your comments.
Best wishes,

Upon an initial visit, it seemed wonderful. Being a new build it ticked many boxes, you cant fault that the home is spotless, its warm, looks comfortable. Doesn't have that typical old people smell. Food all home cooked, not much choice if you didn't like either option. My grandfather being bed bound proved to bring a whole heep of issues. He was left without his table, bed controls, a drink etc within reach, wasn't checked on for hours at a time. I come daily & raised my concerns every single time. There was (at first) only ever 2 members of staff on shift at a time so when he needed the toilet, it took both carers away leaving no carers watching anyone else. They also couldn't come if it was meal times leaving him either in dirty pads or having to hold it. When they recruited more staff this did get better. We never saw a care plan! Staff are lovely but are so stretched. If you are able bodied you are fine. Laundry staff are amazing & really care. Cleaning staff are amazing. Nikki is an Angel in disguise!

Dear S,Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback regarding our housekeeping team they really our angels and will pass all your comments on! We have 4 different households at Norden House and at least 3 members of staff in each household, there are times when we have sickness so we do apologise if there was a time we were short staffed for your Grandfather as you have mentioned this has been rectified.
Our robust call bell system always helps support our residents when they do need support in their room. Regarding loved ones care plan, our nurses provide our individual care plans and always reviewing the family input, however we will communicate the option to see your loved ones care plan at anytime for family thoughts and wishes. Thank you again for all your feedback. Best wishes Justine

My only small concern was the night she passed away, I think the person in charge was a locum of some sort because they were unable to "call" her passing and seemed very confused as to what should happen next.
Having seen several care homes we would not wish to put a dog in. We came across Norden House, and although further from my home than we wanted. We were immediately converted by Norden House's clean and modern environment - we found the nurses and other staff first class and the level of love and...
Like Norden and it's staff during my wifes end of care me and my family the maximum of love and support. God bless you all. Bob.

My father was nursed at Norden House by a team of caring and compassionate nurses. They looked after him with tireless dedication ensuring no need was left unmet. The team and that includes everyone were kind and helpful and supported the family during some difficult times.

Just had lunch with a friend who lives at Norden House great food and a lovely setting for a catch up. The VE Day 80 party was also excellent as are the many and varied activities the Team organise. You are always made very welcome and the caring atmosphere is wonderful.

My Dad was a resident here from December 24 to last week March 25 where he passed away. Some dedicated and lovely staff. We're brilliant with dad in his last week. Concerns raised not given outcome. Lack of staff.

At last we found a wonderful care facility for my mum. The concept is to promote as much independence as possible to the residents, a home-from-home feeling. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and always willing to help where possible, maintaining professionalism and dignity at all times. The food is excellent, offering dietary needs and always fresh with a great choice. All the management are available to offer help, support and advice whenever required. An exceptional facility with local connections. Thank you for welcoming our Mum and making her feel very special.

Norden House is a wonderful new care facility and six Catholic Sisters waited many months for the doors to open to welcome them. The concept is to give as much independence as possible to the residents. It has a home-from-home feeling. The sixty-four beds are divided into households of eight bedrooms, a lounge/diner and a quiet room. There are also a number of cosy seating areas to relax in. The views are stunning across the beautiful Sussex countryside. Staff are welcoming, friendly and willing to help where possible. Food is good and the chefs cater for all types of healthy diets. The management are efficient, pleasant and hospitable. The newly planted gardens are coming to life as the plants blossom in spring. The bar/cafe is a good place to enjoy refreshments with friends and family. The hairdressing salon is an added bonus. All in all, this is an exceptional facility with a lot of local connections and it has been built as an environmentally friendly construction.
Thank you for such a lovely review, it is a pleasure to have the sisters living at Norden House.
