  • Haviland House, Worthing
Located just a few miles from Worthing, at Goring-by-Sea, Haviland House offers dedicated residential and nursing care in a purpose-built environment for people living with dementia. The care home’s design consists of five households suited to a particular stage of dementia, each with thirteen to fifteen spacious en-suite bedrooms.

Its charitable status enables the team to dedicate more time to care, while not being answerable to shareholders' investment in facilities. With a market-leading number of care staff, everyone benefits from more quality one-to-one time. The established team of highly trained carers and 24/7 nursing teams are committed to delivering high quality, person-centred care, with compassion, skill, and expertise.

The services are fully inclusive and adapt to provide the right level of care for residents, wherever they are on their journey.

The beautiful interior enhances the space throughout, offering residents a homely feel. It incorporates a dining room, lounge, spacious themed areas, and bathing facilities within each household. An indoor garden themed lounge, perfect for activities, and a summer house in the garden provide great sensory stimulation.

To further enrich the experience, the home offers delicious and nutritious food provided by specialist caterers. A wide range of well-being activities support residents in living well, enjoying life, and loving every day.

It's an excellent home. My sister gets wonderful care. The carers are excellent and it's a loving and safe environment. It is scrupulously clean and freshly painted and maintained very well. They do everything they can for the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful home. Very caring and well run.
My wife has been a resident since it opened in January 2015.
She has advanced dementia but is so safe and looked after by all.
I visit every other day and have lunch with her.
5-star care home, in my opinion.

Review from David G (Son of Resident) published on 10 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A purpose built home incorporating all the latest ideas in caring for dementia patients. Home separated into several small units (suites) each with own staff/nurse station, dining room, lounges and bathrooms. Well staffed with lovely caring and helpful staff. Ethos of the home is clear that residents
are 'guests' just like in a hotel. Visitors are always welcomed with tea or coffee.


A lovely, lovely place.

Review from Margaret P (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our dad was placed with Haviland House at its opening. As a family we had struggled with dad's condition over several years with the months before he went to live at Haviland House. Having our dad in this wonderful environment lifted the entire stress of caring from us as we had reached a point where
we could cope no further.
To anyone thinking of entrusting Haviland House to the care of their relative or friend please do not hesitate. Dad received the very best of care in this amazing environment. He spent the last 15 months of his life being cared for by staff who were dedicated and skilled.
If there were any queries to raise they were dealt with immediately.
When dad passed away we felt not only his loss, but the loss of an the extended care we had received as a family at Haviland House. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made dad's final days pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.647)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.647) out of 10 for Haviland House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.647 for Haviland House is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.647
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Haviland House is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Avallon McCormack

Job Title: Care Home Manager Joined: 2022

I joined Haviland House as Care Home Manager on November 22. I started my career in Health and Social care in 2012 as an administrator at a nursing home in Brighton. I quickly progressed to Deputy Manager and then to Care Home Manager before moving on to be Registered Manager at an 80-bed Residential and Dementia Home.


I cannot envisage another career with more varied days, challenges and rewards than this role brings and the chance to make a positive change in people’s lives is a real motivator. I really enjoy being a manager with the ability to influence positive change, support a team and drive the highest standards of person-centred care.


The whole team at Haviland House show passion and dedication to providing a high level of care for people living with Dementia. We ensure our residents are fulfilled, engaged, well cared for and happy. Getting to know the people we care for, seeing them happy and empowering them to live their lives is one of the greatest rewards.

Job Title: Wellbeing and Activities Coordinator

My journey at Haviland House began in 2022 when I joined as a Dementia Support Worker. In August 2023, I had the privilege of taking on the role of Wellbeing and Activities Coordinator, which has been incredibly rewarding.


My primary responsibility as the Wellbeing and Activities Coordinator is to deliver a diverse range of activities aimed at stimulating the mental and physical well-being of our residents. One of the most important aspects of my role is ensuring that these activities are accessible and enjoyable for individuals at all stages of dementia and with varying abilities.


I genuinely love what I do. Being a part of our residents' daily well-being and creating a fun, positive atmosphere to care for them is at the heart of my role. It's incredibly fulfilling to contribute to their lives and make a meaningful impact on their overall quality of life.


My dedication to the residents at Haviland House drives me, and I am deeply committed to providing the best possible care and support to enhance their well-being.
