About Cherington
Here at Cherington, we provide nursing home care for people living in Bognor Regis and the wider West Sussex area. Our team works with a broad range of residents, including older people, those living with dementia, individuals with a learning disability or autism, younger adults, and people coming to us for a short respite stay. We believe that whatever brings someone through our doors, they deserve to feel genuinely at home. Nursing care sits at the heart of what we do. Our clinical team is on hand around the clock, which means residents and their families can feel confident that health needs are being met with proper attention and skill. For those living with dementia, we take time to understand each person's history, preferences and routines, because we know how much that understanding matters in day to day life. We are honest about where we are as a service. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we take that seriously. We have been working through the feedback carefully and making real, practical changes. We are not defensive about it. We would rather be transparent with families and show through our actions that things are moving in the right direction. Cherington is a place where residents are treated as individuals, where families are welcomed in, and where the staff genuinely know the people they are caring for. We work hard to create an atmosphere that feels calm and human rather than clinical and impersonal. If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone close to you, we would welcome the chance to show you around and have a proper conversation about whether Cherington might be the right fit. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly.
