See inside Merriman Grange, Worthing's new luxury care home – we found it spacious and inviting

Worthing mayor Ibsha Choudhury cut the ribbon at 11am on Wednesday, October 23, to officially open the first phase at Cinnamon Luxury Care's home in Warren Road, the company's third in Sussex.

Jan Marples, home admissions advisor, welcomed in representatives from three charities the company has been supporting, West Sussex Mind, Andy's Angels and Sight Support Worthing, and other invited guests.

I was impressed by the size of the rooms and the luxury feel. The suite for couples, with a separate lounge and kitchen area, bedroom and en-suite shower room, seemed spacious and inviting.

The single rooms also have an en-suite shower room and there was a good range of built-in storage in all the bedrooms.

Important safety features, like handrails, have been incorporated into the design for a streamlined look. The corridor felt wide and there was a relaxed feel to the place.

The area available to view is on the lower ground floor. Building work is continuing in the main part of the home, which will house up to 84 people over four floors.

Rooms are already being reserved, with the first residents expected to move in in mid-February. To book an appointment to visit, go to www.cinnamoncc.com/care-homes/merriman-grange or call 01903 251942.
