About Us
Who We Are Defined by Care & Purpose
Aronel Cottage has been family owned and managed since 1975, with qualified nurses on duty 24 hours a day. Our goal has always been to create a cheerful, homely environment where residents feel secure and valued. As the first nursing care home in Bognor Regis, we remain committed to being recognised as the best family-run nursing home in the area.
Originally a small private school, the building has since been carefully modernised and extended to meet the highest standards of care. Today, the home is registered for 38 residents and surrounded by sunny, well-kept gardens in a quiet cul-de-sac near the town centre, Hotham Park, and excellent transport links.
Private spaces, sunny views, and modern care-ready rooms Comfortable Living Spaces
Our recently enlarged south/west-facing lounge and dining area offers a light-filled and relaxing setting. With cosy corners for privacy as well as open spaces for socialising, many visitors have said it feels like “sitting in the garden.”
We provide 34 single rooms and 2 twin rooms, many refurbished and 19 with en-suite facilities. Each room is tastefully decorated, colour-coordinated, and fully equipped for comfort – just like a modern hotel room, but with the addition of safety features such as an emergency nurse call system.
Personalised care in a welcoming and secure environment A Respectful, Safe Home
Aronel Cottage is registered as a general nursing home and does not provide care for residents with severe mental health issues. We are not a closed unit, and our front door remains unlocked to preserve a homely, welcoming atmosphere.
Residents are encouraged to bring personal belongings and small pieces of furniture to make their rooms feel truly their own. Privacy is respected at all times, with staff trained to knock before entering. Personal TVs and radios are welcome, though the home can provide alternatives if required. A digital aerial is available throughout, and TV licences are free of charge.
We maintain strong connections with the local community, including local churches, day centres, sports clubs, and community groups.
Please note: Aronel Cottage operates a no smoking and no pets policy.
Housekeeping & Support Services
Our Head Housekeeper, Denisa, and her dedicated team ensure the home is always clean, fresh, and comfortable. Residents’ laundry is handled carefully by staff, reducing the risk of items being lost or damaged. A small clothing repair service is available for convenience.
Visitors often remark on the home’s freshness, which is a testament to the team’s hard work.
Additional Services
- Banking: The office team can help residents with day-to-day banking needs.
- Pocket Money: We advise residents not to keep large amounts of cash. Safe facilities are limited, but arrangements can be made for next of kin who visit less often.
