  • Avon Manor, Worthing
Avon Manor is part of the Cobham Care Group whose first home, Avon House, was one of the first care homes in the area to specialise in Dementia Care. Avon Manor is a detached Victorian mansion situated in a pleasant and quiet residential area with adjacent parking and easy access to public transport. It is also only a short walk to Worthing town centre and the seafront.

The Cobham Care philosophy is that every resident is an individual - individuals’ needs change and therefore need to be continually addressed. In order to achieve this at Avon Manor, information about a resident’s life and loved ones is gathered from relatives soon after admission. This allows the carers to better understand the individual and treat them with a greater degree of sensitivity and understanding. They pride themselves on the friendly, caring and homely atmosphere they provide. Where the residents are encouraged to lead an active, dignified and independent life.

Avon Manor employs 30 care staff who are selected for their kindness, patience and their ability to care for people with dementia. All staff are provided with training in first aid, manual handling, understanding dementia, safeguarding vulnerable adults and other relevant subjects.

28 residents are accommodated in single rooms across three floors - many of which have en-suite facilities. Whilst every room is fully furnished, Avon Manor are pleased to accommodate any personal belongings a resident may wish to bring. All of the living areas are comfortably furnished, especially the three ground floor lounges - one of which is specifically for those seeking peace and quiet.

Please feel free to contact Avon Manor and the Registered Manager would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. She would also like to invite you to look around Avon Manor at any time to see for yourself what the home has to offer.

I couldn't wish for a better care home for our precious mother. She is so loved and well cared for, it's like an extension of our family. We know every resident and carer by first name and as a family join in with every activity. They are entertained, stimulated and get the best care from the best carers.
Avon Manor is the best in Sussex.

I really appreciate all the hard work and care the staff put into looking after my mum, making sure she has as an enriching and active life at Avon Manor as possible.
My dad unexpectedly passed away so Mum was moved into the home at short notice. This was handled with professionalism and understanding
of my circumstances which made that process easier to deal with. After a settling-in period, Mum has shown some really positive changes to her mood and she seems to really engage with all the amazing activities the residents are offered.
As I live abroad I don't get to visit her as much as I would like, but the staff are happy to ensure I get to speak to her on video calls weekly which are invaluable. I feel extremely comfortable that Mum is getting the best care possible at Avon Manor.

My brother came to this care home in December 2023 and has been kept busy since his arrival with listening or joining in with the activities.
I have been impressed with the way in which any agitation is diffused with calm words, humour and patience and with no lack of dignity all around.
The kindness
shown and effort for birthdays and all the trouble taken to add fun into the days of celebration or marked days throughout the year makes the residence more like a "home". The staff are lovely and all so kind and cannot be commended enough. I feel we are lucky to have found Avon Manor.

My Dad has been a resident at Avon Manor since January after being at another home for the previous 3 months, the contrast is unbelievable. From the first visit, we were made to feel so welcome and I immediately knew this was where my dad needed to be. The staff and management are fantastic, so caring
and engaging with all the residents. There are lots of different activities with regular posts on social media showing genuine joy. Each person is treated with dignity and as an individual, not as a patient or inconvenience. Avon Manor really isn't a care home like any other, it's a home that cares!

The care staff really do look out for Mum, they know her moods and how independent she wants to be. They know when to leave her alone and when to retry providing care.
Mum is chairbound now and doesn't like much noise and input and the team has found a great solution which means that Mum isn't isolated,
the home has a "snug" where Mum can sit and this means she meets the other residents and can interact at a slower, more personal pace. It's a great compromise and I'm really pleased it seems to be working. It is another indication that the staff think of Mum as an individual and are looking for solutions to suit her personally.
I'm really pleased with the service and level of care that Avon Manor provides for Mum.

During November my loved one stayed at this wonderful home away from home for respite care. With learning disabilities and dementia, my family is overprotective with her care but all our reservations were quickly quashed upon seeing this wonderful care home. While she is typically reluctant to receive
help from others we were pleased to see her eagerly awaiting the carer's assistance. During her stay, she participated in each of their activities and even enjoyed a Chinese takeaway on her last night. The home kept us updated throughout her stay and it was wonderful to see her enjoying herself on the Fthe social media platform. She enjoyed herself so much that it was difficult for her to say goodbye to the incredible staff. I would highly recommend this care home and we will continue to return Avon for our loved ones' respite care needs.

The feeling and atmosphere at Avon Manor is informal and friendly - just as it would be at home. Every single staff member we came into contact with was friendly and chatty. There’s also a high ratio of staff to residents so there’s always someone on hand should you need them. The smiling faces say

My father originally went to Avon Manor for two weeks respite, but whilst there we realised that he needed full-time care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the love and care they gave to him, he was laughing and joking for the first time in years since my mum passed away. There were always activities
happening and social events, I only wish I had gotten my father there sooner. All the staff and management have my utmost respect for what they do every day.

The manager was incredibly helpful in getting Mum into Avon Manor at short notice over Christmas 2023. She appreciated the urgency of the situation and did an assessment and admission on the same day.
Mum has flourished in Avon Manor ever since and has without doubt become the best person she can
be, given her Alzheimer's diagnosis and the stage she is at. We look forward to visiting daily, and we are always made very welcome. It is clear that all residents at Avon Manor are cared for with expertise, compassion and kindness.

Since becoming a resident of Avon Manor 16 months ago, Mum has thrived. It took her a while to adjust to her new surroundings but with the abundant care and love from all the staff, Avon Manor is now her home and Mum is very settled and happier than she's been in a long time.
Whenever I visit Mum,
the residents are engaged in an activity, singing, playing games or being entertained by fabulous visiting entertainers. There's always an Avon project on the go involving all the residents often culminating in beautiful displays outside the home. Every day I can see a post on social media showing photos of the residents involved in their activities and I can see Mum looking well and laughing. It is so reassuring to be able to see pictures of Mum since I'm not able to visit her every day. Avon Manor is a wonderful care home and I'm so grateful they had a place for Mum when she needed it.

After spending just over two years at Avon Manor, Mum passed away peacefully but with dignity in March. She is greatly missed.
During her time at the Manor we felt Mum was loved and very cared for. She wasn't the easiest person to give care to and the bonds she built up with staff made it better for
her. There was one person in particular who had an amazing bond with Mum, from her first to her last day in the Manor, and she definitely knows how special that was for us and the family.
Although she didn't always participate, the daily activities on offer were many and varied and were encouraged and done in her room if she wasn't willing or able to leave her room that day.
Staff have continued to support us after our loss and we have continued to support Avon Manor with fundraising events.
Mum was living with my wife and I before we had to make the hardest decision of all, to place Mum in a care home to meet her increasing needs. Avon Manor was the right place for Mum. Thank you to all staff.

My mum has been at Avon Manor Care Home for over three years and is very happy there. The staff are amazing and always go above and beyond to keep the residents happy, comfortable and entertained. The staff are genuinely friendly and caring - lovely. Most of the staff have been there for years and they
really care about the residents and want the best for them. The staff treat my mum with kindness, care and respect. They are so accommodating and patient, always doing their utmost to make sure that Mum is happy.
A regular programme of activities is a key part of Avon Manor’s success. They have activities that include crafts, poetry, indoor skittles and regular exercises. The staff work hard to encourage residents to engage in group sessions as much as possible, helping the residents to stay active and have a positive focus.

Choosing Avon Manor to look after Dad has been the best decision ever. He has genuinely found a new lease of life and in the social media photos looks at least 10 years younger. He is kept busy every day and loves taking part in all the activities.


The whole team at Avon Manor are welcoming, positive

and friendly. Special mention is due to the activities manager. Thank you for all you do it is so much appreciated.

My mother-in-law is so happy at Avon Manor. It was the best thing that could have happened to her as she was not coping living alone. She describes everyone there, residents and staff, as her friends. She has choices, she has plenty of quality stimulation and she definitely has fun. The care is excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Avon Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.947 for Avon Manor is calculated as follows: ( (374 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 394 Ratings = 4.947

  • b) 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 Avon Manor is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
