About Summerley Care Home
Summerley Care Home is a residential home in Bognor Regis, looking after older people who need help with everyday living rather than nursing care. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and many of our residents live with dementia. We try to keep the emphasis on ordinary life. Residents choose how they spend their time, keep up with family and friends, have a say in what happens in the house, and are supported to do things for themselves wherever they can. Doing something for somebody is nearly always quicker than helping them do it, and nearly always the poorer choice. Our dementia care rests on familiarity and patience. The same staff, a routine that holds its shape, surroundings that make sense, and time given rather than grudged when somebody needs longer to find their words. Where a resident becomes distressed we try to work out why, because distress is almost always communication of something, whether pain, confusion, boredom or fear. Being near the coast is useful and we make sure people get out, because outings are the first thing to slide when a home gets busy. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Come and look round whenever it suits you, meet the people who live here, and judge the home on what you find rather than on what we have written.
