About Us
St Michaels Nursing Home is a nursing home in Worthing, West Sussex, caring for older people who need qualified nursing as well as help with daily life.
Some people come to us because a health condition has become too much to manage at home. Others arrive after a hospital stay, or because the support they had in place no longer stretches far enough. Whatever the route here, our aim is that people settle, feel safe and are treated as themselves rather than as a diagnosis.
Registered nurses work alongside our care team, so we can look after people with health needs that require regular clinical attention and continue caring for them as those needs change. Residents keep their own routines wherever possible. They choose when to get up, where to spend their time, what to wear and how much they want to join in.
Respite stays are part of what we do, whether a family carer needs a planned break or someone needs nursing support for a few weeks before going back home.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of that, and we keep asking residents and families what could be better rather than assuming we already know.
If you are considering nursing care in Worthing, please ring us and arrange to come in. We would rather you saw the place properly, met the staff and asked us plenty of questions before making a decision.
