Meet The Manager
Andrea Barker is Home Manager at Norden House.
Andrea has over 40 years Nursing experience in various settings from serving in the QARNNS to Managing and Administering Chemotherapy in the community setting to Social Care and Managing Nursing and Residential care homes. Andrea has a commitment to providing a home that supports people whatever their needs are with a dedication to set new standards in how older people can live their lives supporting them to live the life they want to.
Norden House is a unique care home specifically designed to support those with dementia. We are located just outside of the village of Climping, not far from Climping beach and a short drive from Littlehampton and the historic town of Arundel.
Norden House is set out as four separate care hubs over two storeys, which are arranged into individual household for eight people. Each has their own kitchen, open plan lounge dining room day lounge spaces and generously sized ensuite bedrooms many of which have their own patio garden and others affording beautiful expansive views over the gardens and country side.
Residents live in small communities with others at a similar stage of dementia or who have similar care needs; important for reducing stress and helping with socialisation.
Our philosophy of care is extended to the family and friends of residents who are pivotal in helping us to get to know the needs of our residents, especially those with dementia.

To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
