Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The home was rated Good for Effective at the August 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether staff have the right training and knowledge, whether care plans are detailed and up to date, whether residents get timely access to healthcare professionals, and whether nutrition and hydration needs are met. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would have paid particular attention to whether staff understood dementia-specific care approaches. No specific training records, care plan examples, or GP access details are reproduced in the available inspection text.Is this home caring?
The home was rated Good for Caring at the August 2019 inspection, having improved from Requires Improvement. A Good rating in this domain means inspectors observed or found evidence that staff treated residents with warmth, respect, and dignity, and that people's independence and preferences were taken into account. No specific staff interactions, resident testimony, or dignity-in-practice examples are reproduced in the available inspection text.Is the home responsive?
The home was rated Good for Responsive at the August 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether the home understands and responds to each person's individual needs, whether activities are meaningful and varied, whether people can maintain their identity and independence, and whether end-of-life care is handled sensitively. The home caters for people with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, all of which require tailored rather than generic responses. No specific activity examples, individual care adjustments, or end-of-life care details are reproduced in the available inspection text.Is the home well-led?
The home was rated Good for Well-led at the August 2019 inspection, improving from a previous rating of Requires Improvement. The registered manager, Mrs Sivagamee Curpen, is also the nominated individual, meaning she holds both operational and regulatory responsibility for the home. This level of personal accountability is a positive sign. The July 2023 monitoring review found no evidence requiring the rating to be reassessed. No specific management practices, staff culture observations, or governance examples are reproduced in the available inspection text.

Worth a visit
Barnham Manor, on Barnham Road in Bognor Regis, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection on 30 August 2019, improving from a previous rating of Requires Improvement. That improvement matters: it tells you this is a home that identified its weaknesses and addressed them. The home cares for up to 33 people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment. The same manager has held registration throughout, which is a positive sign of leadership stability. The main uncertainty here is the age of the evidence. The inspection is now over five years old, and while a monitoring review in July 2023 found no reason to reassess the rating, that review did not involve an inspector visiting the home. A lot can change in five years, including staffing, activity provision, and the physical environment. When you visit, ask to see the most recent staffing rota (not the template, but actual names and hours), ask specifically about night cover on the dementia unit, and spend time in the communal spaces observing how staff interact with residents rather than relying solely on what you are told.
