  • Rustington Hall, Littlehampton
The Littlehampton and Rustington Housing Society Ltd purchased Rustington Hall in 1948 under the guiding hand of Percy Booker. The original hall was established as a residential care home for older people.

Between 1964 and 1983 eighty-seven sheltered homes were constructed which is today known as Oakhurst Gardens. This was followed by a purpose-built nursing wing in 1997 and further works to extend in 2015. The completion of these works provides a unique retirement village in the heart of Rustington.

The Society is an exempt charity and is registered as an Industrial & Provident Society with the Registrar of Friendly Societies. It is also registered with the Housing Co-operation as a Housing Association.

The staff at Rustington Hall provide a warm and comfortable setting where residents are safe and secure and can enjoy a real family atmosphere. Many of the staff have enjoyed working at Rustington Hall for over a decade.

The policy of the home is to provide quality care, comfort and contentment throughout your later years.

Both of my parents were admitted to Rustington Hall in April. My dad for palliative care and my mum, as she wouldn’t have been able to cope at home on her own. The care my dad, mum and our family received during the three weeks my dad was at the Hall prior to his passing was exemplary. They tended to
Dad’s every need and supported us all as a family after his passing with utmost care and consideration.
Mum is still being cared for at Rustington Hall, and all members of staff go above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable, making her stay as enjoyable as possible with welcoming words and smiles whenever I visit; nothing seems too much trouble for the staff. This is my first experience with a care home, and I must say I am so impressed I have no hesitation recommending Rustington Hall to other people.

Reply from James Budd, Quality Assurance and Compliance Lead at Rustington Hall

The team at Rustington Hall wish to thank you for this truly warming feedback.
As always, we are honoured to not only have the opportunity to care for those in need but also to provide a home from home so those who reside with us are happy and comfortable.
I shall pass all feedback to the team.
Best wishes,
The team at Rustington Hall.

My dad was a resident here from August 2022 to September 2023 when he sadly passed away.
The care he received there was excellent and the staff made me feel very welcome on my daily visits. I was able to join in the activities and also have a meal there with Dad if I preordered it.
The care and compassion
both my dad and I received during his palliative care were absolutely faultless. I was with him when he passed as were some of the staff and every one of them was amazing.
I can’t thank the team enough!

Rustington Hall is one of the most special places. My uncles stayed during 2001-2022. The care he was shown was truly special. It became our second home, and my aunt was shown so much love every day she would visit my uncle. When he sadly passed, the care, love and dignity he and us were shown was excellent.
When the time came for my auntie to move in, a room was made available because everyone loved her. I could not have found a better place for both of them. Rustington Hall is a truly supportive and caring home. Thank you, everyone.

My mother has been here for nearly 18 months and due to the care she receives is just looking better each day. The staff have got used to her foibles and worth together to give her a good quality of life, despite her physical mobility.
The range of daily entertainment is impressive and she is always
encouraged to take part.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rustington Hall to anyone who needed care. This home runs efficiently. The care staff really do know the concerns and personalities of the individual residents and act accordingly with empathy. Always bright and cheery. I'm very happy with the individual care my dad
receives here. All lovely people who go above and beyond their pay grade.

Although my dad was only resident in Rustington Hall for around 17 days before he passed, the palliative care was not only excellent, the passion, love and welfare was beyond reproach. When a loved one goes into a care/nursing home, you expect the best. Rustington Hall far exceeded this and I would
have no hesitation in recommending them to prospective clients.

Rustington Hall was amazing. Mum was on a hospital ward requiring end of life care and was offered a room without hesitation when the hospital contacted them. From the moment my mother arrived she was treated with great kindness, dignity and compassion. As a family we cannot praise our experience of
this home highly enough. Being in the final hours of her life her stay with them was short, but that made no difference to the staff whatsoever as she was offered all the services they have available to their residents. They liaised with all medical personnel to ensure she was comfortable and had the best medical attention and end of life care.
We are so grateful to all staff involved with mum and also for the kindness and understanding given to us as a family.
A huge thank you to all staff

Rustington Hall is a brilliant home. Not only do they care in all medical and welfare eg, food, personal hygiene and all that goes with caring, but their social skills are amazing with all activities keeping minds alert and entertaining. Interaction with families keeping you advised and included in
all associated with loved ones. My mother has been there for 10-months and has really come alive with lots of interest and involvement with all that's happening there.

Mum is well cared for and they know her well now, perceptive of her needs. Nowhere gets everything right all the time but if something isn’t working, other approaches are tried and it is fixed. The introduction of a customer relations role is a great idea. Carers and nurses are often busy with residents,
which is as it should be, so having someone whose role includes specifically dealing with families works very well and makes communication so much easier. Staff have been brilliant throughout Covid and lockdown. I also feel welcomed when I visit.

Since appointing a customer relations manager I have seen great improvements. Nothing is too much trouble in helping with individual needs of my mother as everyone is different. Sometimes some carers seem to be in a rush which I understand as they have a lot of residents to deal with, but spending just
a little more time with my mother could make all the difference.

Mum has been a resident since Jan 2017. We have found all the staff very attentive and caring at all times. During the recent Covid-19 lockdown the care home has been very proactive in enabling us to have weekly Skype calls with Mum. Rustington Hall has an excellent program of entertainers (singers,
musicians etc) who come every week in the afternoon. We have also been sent pictures of Mum attending and enjoying activities/events put on for residents on a regular basis.
My wife is a physio and has considerable experience of attending clients in care homes. We also had to recently research care homes for my father-in-law in Suffolk. In our experience, Rustington Hall stands out on many fronts as being exceptional and good value for money. Rustington Hall is a trust and owns/manages a large number of properties in its grounds that are rented out to elderly residents who live independently. We understand that the income from this portfolio of properties enables Rustington Hall to subsidise the running costs of its care home.

My dad was transferred here from a local hospice for end of life care. This was an incredibly stressful time as it was during some of the worse outbreaks of COVID but I was immediately reassured by the fact that due to their extreme care they had no patients with COVID and their precautions to avoid
any situations that could result in an outbreak were fantastic. The staff were reassuring, caring and nothing was too much trouble. Dad loved a latte and even though he rarely drank it they made him one every day. My son got married in the US during this time and the staff ensured that Dad got to see his grandson get married and the videos of that day will be cherished forever. We sadly lost dad after a short 4 weeks there and the support they gave me, my brother and my son was amazing and appreciated. I cannot thank all the amazing staff enough.

Reply from James Budd, Quality Assurance and Compliance Lead at Rustington Hall

Thank you very much for your kind words, watching your dad see his grandson get married will be a day we will never forget, as I think we would all agree it was such a memorable celebration. We wish you and your family all the best

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Rustington Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.801 for Rustington Hall is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.801

  • 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 Rustington Hall is based on 26 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 26 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.
