About Westergate House
Here at Westergate House, we provide nursing home care in the heart of Arundel, West Sussex, and we take real pride in the community we have built here. We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether to recover, to give a family carer a break, or simply to try us out before committing to a longer term arrangement. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, and that matters to us. It reflects the effort our whole team puts in day to day, not just when inspectors visit, but consistently, in the way we speak to residents, listen to their families, and respond when things need to change. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. When someone moves in, we take time to understand who they are, what their routine looks like, what they enjoy, and what makes them feel at ease. Good care is personal, and we work hard to make sure each resident feels genuinely known rather than simply looked after. Being based in Arundel means we are part of a beautiful part of West Sussex, and we make the most of that wherever we can, whether through trips out, visitors coming in, or simply the sense of being connected to a real place rather than somewhere anonymous. If you would like to find out whether Westergate House could be the right fit for your loved one, please do get in touch. We are always happy to show you round and answer any questions you might have.
