Our home in Littlehampton strives to make you feel part of a real local community, with high-quality nursing and residential care if and when you need it.
We are a cherished part of the local community offering easy access to nearby conveniences including local shops, a doctor’s surgery and a library. We’re only 10 minutes from the beautiful beach, shops and restaurants in Littlehampton.
Our home boasts spacious interiors, cosy rooms, multiple common areas, and intimate lounges. We are fortunate to have beautiful landscaped gardens, where we grow our very own vegetables and nestled in the corner we have our seated patio area where you can relax with a cup of tea.
Our home provides 24-hour a day tailored care in a home-from-home setting, which you are encouraged to personalise and make your own. This helps our care team understand what’s important to you.

We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
We have weekly trips out to the coast, garden centres, pub lunches, museums and local beauty spots.
Treat yourself to pamper days at our on-site beauty and hair salon or relax in one of our roomy lounges where you can chill out and have a good time with friends and family.
We welcome all sorts of musical entertainers, including singers, ukulele-players and interactive musicians who love to get our residents involved.
Dining
At Fulford Care and Nursing Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience. One of our dining rooms is in a stunning 200-year-old listed barn which has been carefully restored. There’s also a lovely sunny conservatory which you can also choose to eat in.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.
Bedrooms
We have 74 spacious bedrooms for people living at Fulford which are all en-suite, with some able to accommodate couples. Each bedroom’s front door is a different colour and style, which makes it more recognisable and adds that homely touch.
The bedrooms are a blank canvas for you to personalise with your own photos, pictures and furniture to help you feel at home. It also helps our care team understand what’s important to you, help in building a warm relationship.
Gardens
We have a large secure lawned garden and lovely enclosed courtyards. There are planters and raised beds for flowers and vegetables, plus plenty of room to sit out.
Our garden is a great spot for activities and eating outside. If you enjoy to watch the wildlife then our garden is a great place to spend a sunny afternoon watching the bird’s nest in our beautiful trees.

This is the first home Mum has gone into. My first contact regarding my worries about Mum was with the Deputy Manager. Instantly I became less worried. She put my mind at rest on so many issues and questions I had. I found her to be very competent with her knowledge and skills showing a great deal of experience she has. The Deputy Manager always had time for my questions and was extremely efficient with feedback. Having this kind of approachable personality wanting to put my and my family’s mind at rest. Also, the carers are well-mannered and respectable with the residents.

Mum was a resident of Rochester Care Home for nearly 6 years. I cannot thank the manager and her wonderful team enough for all they did for her while she was there. She could not have been in a better place for the last years of her life. As a family, we have got to know the staff as dear friends who have always greeted us with a cheery smile and ‘gone that extra mile’ for all involved. Mum spent the last two weeks of her life receiving palliative care. She was treated with dignity and compassion. My family have felt very supported by the manager and her staff during this difficult time for which we are truly thankful. We cannot praise Rochester Care Home enough for the work they do.

As soon as I stepped inside the Nursing Home I sensed a friendly caring atmosphere, and I knew that my husband would be well looked after and in safe hands. The staff could not be more professional and helpful to both my husband and myself and nothing too much bother for them. Every resident has their own room and is encouraged to bring personal belongings to make it their home. I can relax knowing that my husband is being cared for 24/7.

My family member lived at the care home for a number of years, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done, as a family, without them. They were so supportive of our family as well as providing above and beyond care to my family member. I will always recommend this wonderful home to anyone!

My grandad has been a resident for three weeks and the positive change in his mental health and wellbeing has been exponential. He feels safe and cared for and I am secure in the fact he is receiving quality care. The staff have been supportive and what could have been a stressful transition has in fact been surprisingly easy. I am grateful to all staff and residents who have made this more a pleasure for my grandad.

My mum has been a resident for the last 2 and a bit years and during that time I have seen a huge improvement in her overall physical health. She has actually put weight on as she is getting 3 good meals a day unlike when she was living on her own, and she excepts help now when there’s a medical issue and let’s the staff get her the help that is needed medically. Before she went in she would refuse any intervention. The accommodation is very nice, the rooms are adequate for her needs, the garden area is very nice, and she has made friends. The staff are always professional and caring and residents are treated with the utmost dignity, the food is good, and plenty of it. A massive thank you to ALL the staff.
