  • 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.

My father-in-law is very well looked after at Avon Manor. Give us all peace of mind. The staff are brilliant - very caring. The food is good; he eats everything put in front of him. Activities are constantly going on there, keeping him happy and motivated.
Cannot praise them enough.

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.


Avon Manor, you are simply the best!

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.
Couldn't be better.

All the staff at Avon Manor Care Home are incredible. Choosing a home for my mum was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make but from the moment she moved in, we couldn’t have been happier with the loving care and attention she has received. I can’t recommend Avon Manor highly enough.

Avon Manor is everything you would wish and hope a care home to be. They have activities going on all the time and they actually listen to the residents and what they would like to see and do, even with residents that are more bed-bound they are still involved and not left out. They’re always more than
happy to answer any questions or worries you may have at any time. The home is very much your loved ones home and they really encourage this and try to keep whatever they were doing at home the same where possible. The carers are all so friendly and helpful. Honestly a fantastic home and I’m so grateful my Nana is there as I no longer have to worry about her.

Avon Manor is the most wonderful care home, the care from all the staff is second to none, it is truly like a family and I could not wish for any more for my Dad.
Every member of staff is kind, welcoming, supportive and the manager has created a wonderful environment for the residents.
Everyone is
smiling, entertained, well looked after and it is really personal to every resident.
I feel all of my dad's needs are met and he is loved and cared for.
He has a quality of life again which had deteriorated at home due to his Alzheimer's.
He is treated with respect and kindness and the manager and staff always go over and above, particularly supportive when Dad was in hospital visiting him and ensuring he came home as soon as ready, he has made an excellent recovery in their care.
It’s a wonderful place to be able to visit as family also, always friendly and I never leave without a smile on my face.
It’s also fantastic that they post on social media so family who are not local can stay connected to Dad.

Avon Manor was the best decision we made four and a half years ago when we needed to find a care home for my mum. She is still there now, being kindly cared for by such wonderful staff. She is safe and I can relax in the knowledge that my mum is very happy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

There is no doubt Avon Manor Care Home is exceptional.
The love and care that all the staff shows to all its residents goes over and beyond.
Our auntie, since losing her husband, was alone at home. She did not like the agency staff coming in, she was neglecting herself, thought she only needed her
own company and was living a very sad life.
Getting Auntie into a home was difficult but on my last visit, she thanked me for putting her in Avon Manor as she was so happy.
She always looks amazing, better than I have ever seen her from her nails being painted and hair done. She always looks clean and fresh.
But most of all, what I see is the entertainment the home puts on and the thought that the staff put into it. Entertainment for all and then they look at what individuals may like, something from their past or a birthday to celebrate.
I don’t get to see Auntie as much as I would like but it is very reassuring seeing regular updates on social media which gives me total reassurance.

We chose Avon Manor Care Home exactly one year ago for my father who was suffering with dementia and bed blocking in hospital. We looked at a few dementia care homes and met representatives who showed us around a friendly, welcoming family home. Easy choice. My father was 90 last Sunday and what a party
we had. A 15-minute video of Dad's first year, singing, dancing, birthday cake and doughnuts, Dad's favourite. I think the standout thing was management came in on Sunday, their day off, and made the party special.

Placing my dad in a care home was the hardest decision of my life but I was recommended Avon Manor Care Home by some friends of mine and I am so very grateful for their encouragement. From my first view of the home, the smiles and joy on the faces of the residents and staff are infectious. The ratio
of residents to staff is far higher than any other home. I enquired with. I love how they listen and care about every resident, remembering who they were and what they love, the level of mental and physical activities is second to none. I could write a book about how incredible every single member of staff is and my dad is just happy and if he's happy then I'm happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.931 for Avon Manor is calculated as follows: ( (432 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 463 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 39 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 39 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.
