About Glen Arun Care Home
Glen Arun is a nursing home in Horsham, West Sussex. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people with complex health needs can stay here as those needs change rather than being moved on again. Families who have already lived through one difficult move tend to see the value of that immediately. We work hard at keeping the nursing from setting the tone of the place. A nursing home can slide into feeling like a ward, and when that happens the rest follows: people stop being asked what they would like, days lose any shape of their own, and relatives begin behaving like hospital visitors. So we keep our attention on the ordinary things. Meals worth eating. Getting outside when the weather allows. Help without a long wait. Privacy. Being spoken to as somebody with a history rather than a set of conditions. Having younger adults as well as older residents means we do not run a single programme and call it activities, because what suits one rarely suits the other. We ask people individually. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Come and eat lunch with us if you want a fair idea of what living here is like.
