Aronel Cottage Care Home Limited

Aronel Cottage Care Home Limited is family owned and run with Registered Nurses on duty 24-hours a day. We try our best to have a cheerful, homely atmosphere. Established in 1975, Aronel Cottage was the first care home in Bognor Regis. it is our aim “to be recognised as the best family-run nursing home in Bognor Regis”.

We are proud to have been independently inspected as excellent and the winner of 2 national and 2 local business awards

Formerly a small, private school, the building has been extensively modernised and upgraded and the current registration is 38. The home has pleasant, south facing, well maintained gardens, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, close to the town centre, Hotham Park and public transport.

Our recently extended South/West facing lounge and dining room has several nooks and crannies for residents’ privacy or socialising with an extensive window area. Some visitors have commented that “it is like sitting in the garden”.

Our accommodation consists of 34 single rooms and 2 twin rooms, many recently refurbished with 19 rooms en-suite. We like to think that all these rooms are tastefully decorated and colour coordinated.

All rooms are fitted with a TV point, night light and a modern Audio Nurse Call System for emergencies. Most rooms have a British Telecompoint.

We are registered as a general nursing home, we are not registered for clients with severe mental health issues i.e. aggression or anti-social behaviour. We are not a closed unit and don’t lock the front door. If your relative is liable to wondering, I’m sorry we are the wrong home for you. It has been our experience that you cannot mix a population of general nursing care with EMI clients successfully long term.

Residents are encouraged to bring personal effects and a few small items of furniture with them to make them feel “at home”. Residents’ rooms and possessions are private and personal and we shall ensure that they are always regarded in this way. Staff are trained to knock at the door before entering.

Most residents bring in their own TVs and radios because they are familiar with their use, but the Home can provide a portable TV set, if requested. There is a digital aerial throughout the home and we have a no satellite dish policy. TV licences are free.

Our links with local community are particularly strong, including local churches, The Chestnuts and Laburnum Day Centres, Bognor Golf Club, Middleton Sports Club and Bognor Gliding Club.

We have a no smoking and a no pets policy at Aronel Cottage Care Home Limited.
