Questions families ask
Do they offer free trial days before moving in?
Yes. They offer free trial days to prospective residents so families can assess whether the environment is suitable.
When did Avon House start specialising in dementia care?
Avon House was established in 1991 and was one of the first nursing homes in Worthing to specialise in dementia care.
How much does Avon House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Avon House for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,046 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
