About Whitehaven
Here at Whitehaven, we are a care home based in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, and we support a wide range of people with varying needs and backgrounds. Our most recent Care Quality Commission rating is Good, which reflects the standard of care our team works hard to maintain every day. We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with learning disabilities or autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also provide respite care for those who need a short break from their usual living arrangements, and we have experience supporting individuals affected by eating disorders and alcohol or drug misuse. We understand that no two people are the same, and we take time to get to know each person properly before putting together a care plan that genuinely reflects who they are and what matters to them. Bognor Regis is a town with a real sense of community, and we try to make sure that Whitehaven feels like a natural part of that. We encourage the people we support to stay connected to the things they enjoy, whether that is getting out locally, keeping up with hobbies, or simply having good conversation with people they trust. Residential care can feel like a big step, for the person moving in and for their family. We try to make that transition as smooth as possible by being open, straightforward, and consistent. Families are always welcome to speak with us, ask questions, and stay involved in their loved one's care. If you are looking for a care home for yourself or someone close to you, we would be happy to have a conversation and show you around. We want you to feel confident that Whitehaven is the right place before any decisions are made.
