The most luxurious Nursing Home in Worthing, West Sussex.

The most luxurious Nursing Home in Worthing, West Sussex.

Nestled in the heart of many famous poet named streets, the title seemed fitting. The Poets boasts a fabulous atrium entrance and reception with an imperial staircase turning all the way to the second floor; from there you can see across the trees and rooftops of the seaside town.

The interior of the home is exquisitely designed to a standard and luxury that is unparalleled in a nursing home. The atrium leads through to a comfortable open lounge area, and then into our bistro that offers a spectacular view of the gardens and cascading water features through panoramic opening doors.

The Poets also boasts an entertainment studio, library, dining and seating areas, as well as a hair salon.

Many areas are air conditioned and Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the home.

Every bedroom is spacious and modern with en-suite wet rooms. They are all fully furnished in solid oak furniture with a desk, personal fridge, large smart TV and phone.

Several bedrooms were created to accommodate two beds, so couples can be together always.

Please do get in touch with one of the team to arrange a visit to see for yourself. You’ll aways be sure of a warm welcome and expert advice.
