South Coast Nursing Homes Ltd are a family founded company that have been providing excellent levels of care and nursing from 1959 in our homes located in West & East Sussex.
Our newest home is nestled in the heart of many famous poet named streets in Worthing and the title seemed fitting. The Poets flaunts a fabulous atrium entrance and reception with an imperial staircase turning all the way to the second floor; from there you can see across the trees and rooftops of the seaside town.
The interior of the home is exquisitely designed to a standard and luxury that is unparalleled in a nursing home. The atrium leads through to a comfortable open lounge area, and then into a café restaurant that offers a spectacular view of the gardens and cascading water features through panoramic opening doors.
