The care given by all the staff is excellent with 5 star food with every meal.
I cannot recommend Rustington Convenience Home more highly.
After staying 2 weeks I was able to go home and look after myself with confidence.
Thank you.

Superb in all respects. Staff are all extremely well-trained and knowledgeable and caring. The building and general environment all first-class. I cannot imagine a better place to be to aid a good recovery. Everyone involved gave 110% of their time and expertise.

Very positive experience, would definitely recommend. Staff show great attention to detail and respond to every request or evidence of discomfort with care and kindness. I felt in very safe hands and my family were reassured too that even with a serious and unpredictable illness I would be well cared
for. Full marks to everyone, thank you.

I came to this convalescent home to get back on my feet after some gruelling radiotherapy. All the carers and nurses were very kind, caring and professional. I was able to extend my week for two extra days without having to change rooms. When I left, I was sorry to say goodbye, but did feel able to
care for myself after such a restful stay.

I came to Rustington Convalescent Home after major surgery to recuperate initially for one week. I was received with kind concern and found myself surrounded by such warm personal, competent professional care. Every person I met, housekeeping team, chefs, carers, medical staff, admin team - they all
are sincerely professionals. They all work together to support the residents. The surroundings, buildings and gardens are beautiful and all contribute to the healing process. I stayed for two weeks, nurtured and restored. This is an outstanding institution. I am so grateful.

I am very impressed with this convalescent home. The building and facilities are very attractive and well maintained and designed for people with temporary disabilities. The position is delightful.
There are plenty of staff who are always pleasant, attentive and helpful.
The hygiene and covid testing
is excellent.

From the moment you arrive here you know you've come to a very special place. You have the beautiful buildings, gardens and delicious homemade food just to start with, but what makes this place truly exceptional is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them. You are treated as an individual and
like a guest rather than just a resident. The kindness, care and understanding I was shown was outstanding. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come here again.

The care home was recommended by an organisation which my late father enrolled my sister, myself and my brother many years ago. My sister recently had a knee replacement, contracted pneumonia and was in the hospital for 6 weeks. The convalescent home was a Godsend as the two weeks there helped her with
her mobility and confidence. My wife and I stayed the middle weekend as it was my sister's birthday and we were made very welcome. All the staff were wonderful as was the physio, the hairdresser and other therapists.

On arrival, a member of staff welcomed me and actually remembered me from previous stays. The rooms were clean, tidy and well appointed. As for the food, it could not be faulted. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all fantastic as well as for morning and afternoon tea. PS I put on 2 kilos!

Rustington Convalescent Home is a marvellous place, just the job after an operation. It is beautifully cleaned and the food was really excellent. It was obvious the staff took a real pride in their work and the care I received was second to none.
I went there initially because it was right by the sea
but didn't expect so many other benefits. Thank you Rustington

I have stayed here several times in the past and have always had amazing treatment, feeling well looked after and very safe.


The staff are always friendly and caring - nothing is too much trouble for them so they have a good rapport with all patients.


I can't praise the whole experience of being

cared for by Rustington Convalescent Home enough.

A place of rest and healing. Lovely building thoughtfully and comfortably decorated and furnished. Welcoming with a variety of different shared rooms from sitting and watching the sea, having a snooze, watching TV or playing cards, chess, draughts, Scrabble or doing puzzles. Generous meals and excellent
staff including some trained medical members. To be treated with care and as an intelligent human. Perfect.

I arrived for a two-week stay after 22 days of hardly any sleep after heart surgery in hospital.
I took the full two weeks to recover and was very happy with almost everything. I wish there was a laundry service (would pay extra for it) for people who do not live locally. The fitted sheet on my bed
kept coming off (too small) and my quilt was very hot I wish there were more activities (trips to chemists etc) and finally any chance of a gym?

Reply from Julia Haynes, Manager at Rustington Convalescent Home

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry there was a problem with your bedclothes whilst you were with us as this could have easily been rectified.
We do organise 3 trips per week to the local area and did lay on an extra trip to Worthing for you during your stay. We are always happy to book taxis if anyone needs to go out independently but our local chemist does deliver items other than prescriptions. There is a gym in the leisure centre which is almost next door to the Home. I hope you found your stay beneficial and would be happy to return.

The Rustington Convalescent Home whose building dates back to the 1890's is in a beautiful setting right by the English Channel. The rooms are very comfortable and the food and medical attention are excellent which all aided my recovery from major surgery. In addition, the fees charged are probably
more reasonable than to other equivalent homes and I would certainly not consider going anywhere else for rest and recuperation. I cannot recommend the Rustington Convalescent Home highly enough.

I had no idea such wonderful establishment had survived. This is like a 5-star hotel crossed with a private hospital. The care is expert with first class food in elegant surroundings. After a week I feel like a new person, ready to go back to independent living.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.999)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.999) out of 10 for Rustington Convalescent Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 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 4.957 for Rustington Convalescent Home is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 4.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rustington Convalescent Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.667

  • 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.
