About Merriman Grange
Here at Merriman Grange, we offer a warm and welcoming home for the people who come to live with us in the heart of Worthing, West Sussex. We believe that moving into a care home is a significant step, and we work hard to make sure everyone who walks through our doors feels genuinely at ease from the very beginning. We support a range of people with different needs and circumstances. This includes older adults, people living with dementia, younger adults who require residential support, and those who need a shorter stay through respite care. Whatever brings someone to us, we take the time to understand who they are, what matters to them, and how we can best support their day to day life. Dementia care sits at the heart of much of what we do. We know that living with dementia affects not just the individual but the whole family, and we try to keep those connections strong while providing a consistent and reassuring environment for the people in our care. For those who come to us for respite, whether to give a family carer a break or to recover after a period of ill health, we aim to make the stay feel as comfortable and purposeful as possible rather than simply a pause in life elsewhere. Worthing is a town we are proud to be part of. We encourage residents to stay connected to their community and to the people and things that have always been important to them. Life here is shaped around individual routines and preferences, not the other way around. We are always happy to answer questions, arrange a visit, or simply have a conversation about whether Merriman Grange might be the right fit for you or someone you love.
