Announcement

28 December, 2019

Following an unannounced inspection from five inspectors of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on 17th September 2019 Rustington Hall has received an overall rating of Requires Improvement.

This is a very disappointing outcome with many of our residents and relatives writing to CQC individually to praise the service they receive at Rustington Hall.  They feel strongly that Rustington Hall does not deserve the rating of Requires Improvement with a recent survey confirming that 100% of people would recommend Rustington Hall as a nursing and care home.

The report contains mainly positive comments regarding the observations seen by the inspectors and we welcome the next unannounced inspection.

Update on Works Project

11 October, 2019

Following a meeting this morning (11th October 2019) with RJH Construction, we have taken the decision to delay the building works to the courtyard at Rustington hall until the 06th January 2020.

This is due to the project taking 12 weeks to complete now, instead of the initial 9 week estimation.

As a Home we do not want the works to overrun into the Christmas period, we want our resident’s and their families to still have the same level of enjoyment that we always do at Christmas time here at Rustington Hall.
