About Rustington Convalescent Home
Rustington Convalescent Home helps people recover after an operation, illness or accident before returning home. It provides short-term convalescent and respite care with nursing support, day-to-day assistance and accommodation suited to postoperative recovery.
The service is designed as a bridge between hospital and home, helping guests regain confidence and understand how to manage their own health. Stays include an en-suite bedroom, communal areas, activities and meals prepared on site, with dietary requirements accommodated. The cost of a stay is heavily subsidised by the charity, making the contribution lower than the full cost of care while preserving access to the home’s facilities and support.

How much does Rustington Convalescent Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Rustington Convalescent Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,098 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
