About St Josephs Nursing Home
St Josephs Nursing Home supports older people requiring nursing care within a setting shaped by the Franciscan Missionaries of St Joseph. The home developed from St Joseph’s Convent in Littlehampton, whose history combines community life, prayer and service.
Its care provision sits alongside the wider convent and congregation, giving the setting a clear religious identity. Families considering a place can explore how this context relates to the resident’s practical needs, personal preferences and expectations of daily life. The home is registered for nursing care for older people, with the wider Franciscan environment forming its most distinctive feature.

Questions families ask
How much does St Josephs Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Josephs Nursing 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask St Josephs Nursing Home whether it takes residents funded by West Sussex council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
