Rustington was purpose-built as a convalescent home in 1897 by Sir Henry Harben, President of the Prudential Assurance Company, and a previous Master of the Carpenter’s Company, an ancient guild of the City of London. Sir Henry spent over £50,000 buying the nine acre site and building the Home, which was designed by the architect Frederick Wheeler, F.R.I.B.A.

The Home was designed as a place where working men could convalesce after an illness or accident and enable them to become fully active again. It was officially opened on 20 March 1897 in a ceremony led by the Bishop of Chichester, and admitted its first guests just four days later.
