About The Progress Project

The Progress Project is a residential care home in Worthing in West Sussex. We support older people and younger adults, including people managing mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays. Our name reflects what we are actually for, which is helping people move on rather than settle permanently where they are. That does not mean pushing anybody. It means keeping the door open, taking seriously what somebody says they want their life to look like, and doing the unglamorous groundwork that makes it possible: confidence with money, cooking, travel, appointments, work or study, keeping in touch with people. Supporting mental health here is largely about steadiness rather than intervention. We keep to arrangements we have made. We notice when somebody seems unlike themselves without turning it into an interrogation. We make it easy to talk without a formal appointment, and we are as reliable on the difficult weeks as on the good ones. Progress is rarely a straight line and our job is not to be surprised by that. This is people's home in the meantime and we treat it accordingly. Rooms are theirs to arrange. People decide how their days go and who they see. We knock, we ask rather than assume, and we are quite prepared to be disagreed with. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking the people living here what needs to change.
