About Camowen

Camowen is a residential care home in West Sussex, providing accommodation and personal care for people living with dementia and other health conditions. Further details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

Camowen provides accommodation and personal care to up to 20 people living with dementia and other health conditions. Residents feel safe at the home. One person shared, "I feel very safe living here and have no complaints.

Seeing the girls in face masks used to be a bit strange, but these are the times we are living in. They want to keep us safe from Covid and other infections, therefore, the masks are necessary, although I look forward to seeing their faces in the future. " The service has implemented measures to protect people from the risk of infection spread, with individual risk assessments in place.
