About Us
Who We Are Welcome to Aronel Cottage
Since 1975, Aronel Cottage has been a trusted, family-run nursing home in Bognor Regis. We were the first care home in the town and remain committed to offering the highest standard of care in a warm and welcoming environment. Our team of registered nurses are here day and night, ensuring peace of mind for residents and families alike.
Our home, once a private school, has been transformed into a modern care setting while keeping its charm and character. With room for 38 residents, well-kept south-facing gardens, and a peaceful location close to the town centre and local amenities, Aronel Cottage offers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience.
Private spaces, sunny views, and modern care-ready rooms Accommodation & Living
Residents enjoy tastefully decorated bedrooms, with 34 singles and 2 twins available, including 19 en-suite. Rooms are fully equipped for safety and comfort, while still allowing space for personal touches. Our bright, extended lounge and dining room overlooks the gardens and provides spaces for both social interaction and quiet relaxation.
Personalised care in a welcoming and secure environment Our Approach
We are registered as a general nursing home and focus on providing respectful, safe care for all. We do not cater for severe mental health needs, as we believe in preserving a calm, homely environment.
Residents are encouraged to make their rooms their own with familiar items, furniture, and personal possessions. Privacy is always respected – staff knock before entering – and entertainment needs are easily met with TV aerials throughout the home.
Community connections are an important part of life at Aronel Cottage, and we maintain close links with local groups, churches, and clubs.
