Welcome to Rectory House
Rectory House Nursing Home is situated in the small and friendly village of Sompting in North Worthing, set between the popular local coastline and the South Downs. We are proud to have been regional finalist winners in the Great British Care Awards 2023, for the Social Care Nurse Award.
The residents at Rectory House have plenty of opportunities to access the community and to participate in local groups and events. We take pride in our community links and often have groups from the community to use our big lounge for events and celebrations, in which the residents join in.
The well-being of our residents is at the core of everything we do at Rectory House. With us, they feel a sense of community and support, and they are involved in all activities and events. On a normal day, a resident might enjoy time in the communal areas joining the Breakfast Club, or playing board games and cards with other residents and the team, as well as participating in reminiscing and music therapy.
What does care from the heart mean to the team at Rectory House?
“Fundamentally, we believe that care from the heart is about enabling and providing high-quality care that is tailored to each individual. It is important to us that our residents and loved ones have a sense of consistency and assurance in the standard of care they receive. This is grounded in our resident centric approach, recognising the resident as an individual and developing a relationship with them that allows us to develop the care provided based on their experiences and perspectives. We are people looking after people; caring for them, and driving and inspiring them to influence high standards of care. Our approach is simple: the promotion of the wellbeing of our residents, their relatives, and our colleagues.”

Meet the Manager
Serah is our Home Manager at Rectory House. Here’s a glimpse into her role at the home, in her own words:
“I’m responsible for ensuring the highest standards of care are provided to our residents, leading and supporting our dedicated team, and fostering a welcoming environment for residents and their families. I also collaborate with families to address individual needs and ensure every resident feels valued and respected.
I’ve been a Registered Nurse since 2006 and have gained invaluable experience in dementia care and team leadership. My passion for caring and supporting others, along with my commitment to professional development, has led me to take on management roles where I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of both residents and team members.
One of my biggest achievements was being named the Regional Social Care Nurse Winner at the Great British Care Awards. This experience taught me the value of perseverance, teamwork, and putting the needs of others at the forefront.
Witnessing the positive impact our home has on our residents and their families brings me the most joy. I enjoy building strong relationships with residents, creating a sense of community, and celebrating their milestones.
To me, ‘Care from the Heart’ means treating every resident as if they were a member of my family. It’s being passionate about what I do, compassionate, patient, and truly listening to their needs and stories. Care is not just about meeting physical needs but also addressing emotional well-being and creating moments of joy every day.”
