About Abbots Lawn

Abbots Lawn is a nursing home in Bognor Regis, with registered nurses on duty around the clock alongside our care team. We look after older people whose health needs require nursing, younger adults with nursing needs, people living with dementia, and people living with mental health conditions. People generally come to us when their needs have grown beyond what residential care or support at home can safely meet. The nursing covers management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help where eating and swallowing have become difficult, and careful oversight of medication. We work closely with local GPs, district nurses and therapy teams, and we ask for specialist advice early. What we try to avoid is letting the clinical side take over the day. The most valuable parts of a week here are usually the least medical: a visit from family, a conversation that runs on longer than it needed to, a turn round the garden or down to the sea front when somebody is well enough. For people living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar. Respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
