Care Homes Owned by Barchester Healthcare Ltd in East Sussex

Overall the care standard is excellent with a very good ratio of staff to residents and the facilities both in individual rooms and communal areas are also at a high standard.

The home is very friendly and encourage family and friends to get involved in all aspect of the home, it has a welcoming feel and the care given is a very high standard.

Thank you to all at Lydfords for given me a relaxed break. I have slept for England.

Lydfords is an amazing place. The whole experience is led by the lovely management and staff, nothing is too much trouble. The care and attention given to everything in the home is fantastic. The smiley friendly staff make it a great home

First time in a carehome for respite I was well looked after and enjoyed my stay.

Thank you to everyone for making their stay special and they will be back in September.

My granny is a resident at Dudwell, she really enjoys being there surrounded by loving staff. She has made some lovely friends who enjoy watching tv together and even enjoy the odd drink together. The staff couldn't do enough for her and are always on hand to help her whenever she needs it. I wish to thank all the staff at Dudwell st Mary for the work they do every day .

My dear father-in-law was cared for by the wonderful staff at Lydfords from February until may 2026 when he sadly died. They took such beautiful care of him, coaxed this shy man out of his room and into activities, laughed with him, took care of his every need and looked after him at the end. We so appreciate the care they took and how they looked after us. A wonderful hotel-like home, comfortable and clean, with a friendly, compassionate, good-humoured atmosphere. Delicious meals and fresh cake every day! Beautiful gardens and outside spaces. Thank you for everything xx

The dedication and professionalism of the entire team are outstanding, and I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and caring environment for a loved one.

Lovely room and view, very comfortable

My mother has been having respite care for the second time this year,, firstly recovering from pneumonia and now recovering from a fractured pelvis,both times she has arrived very frail and wobbly from hospital,but within a short time with the fantastic care and excellent food she has recovered remarkably well ,I have to say my sister and I did look at other care homes, especially in the village where our mother lives but nothing came close to the feeling we got after visiting hurstwood view,we are so pleased with our choice

Mum has been living at Hazel Lodge for 18 months now. She was very anxious when she first arrived but soon settled in. She has lost all her anxiety and is now very content. The care and attention by all the staff is exceptional and there is always a calm, happy atmosphere. The the lovely bistro and garden are very relaxing areas to spend time with family and friends. I would recommend Hazel Lodge to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

Thank you to you all for making us feel part of your family here at Hazel lodge.

I have found all the staff very kind and helpful I have stayed an extra 10 days and will certainly return to see the residents and staff in the near future.

Being the first visit or stay in a care home, I had no idea what to expect while I recovered from a hip replacement. The care I received could not have been more appreciated. Being here for only one week (which was sufficient in my case) I was limited to how many residents I could meet, the staff were very caring and I never saw one who didn't speak to me and give me a big smile.

I recently spent a week at Port Manor Care Home for respite care over Easter 2026. I was delighted with my room which opened onto the patio. The staff were very attentive and professional went out of their way to see you had all you needed. The food was excellent with a nutritious & varied menu served in a friendly dining room. There was a range of activities to keep you active and I was also able to have my hair done in the salon.

Excellent environment, welcoming and resourceful staff

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mortain Place.

The staff have always been so kind and helpful to my dear husband. This is his third stay and he loves it.

A happy 2 weeks. As always all staff very supportive and professional. All were very friendly. It was a pleasure to stay for 2 weeks.
