Care Homes Owned by Carewise Homes Ltd in East Sussex

A marvellous example of how the staff show care and compassion to both their patients and their relatives.I feel my wife and myself are valued and supported 24/7. Well done all at Oaklands.

My relative has been resident at Oaklands for nearly a year. Right from the start I found the staff & management at Oaklands kind, helpful & pro-active in setting up and continuing his care. The very comfortable amenities & calm ambiance of the communal areas of the home are backed up by professional, friendly & considerate staff. There is an admirable attention to detail, including making sure that he has the equipment & furniture appropriate to his current needs. It is clear that my relative feels both comfortable & content here. No review would be complete without noting the quality of the meals provided, both in the actual food & its attractive presentation - despite being on a 'softer food diet' the dishes my relative is served always look nutritious, delicious & appetising. I would love to report how they taste but there is never anything left on the plate to try!

All round, it's a wonderful home, and I'm so happy he's there.

Every aspect of my two weeks there helped my recovery. The warmth and kindness, the care from the nurses, all the very hard working staff and the welcome that continued through my stay was outstanding. My experience at Wavertree House helped in such all important way to helped me have very happy memories at such a difficult time in my life! 100% excellent.

*In consultation with Joyce, her room has recently been refurbished.

my husband spent 3 weeks in oaklands before his passing, in this time he was looked after brilliantly the staff were caring & very involved - I would not hesitate recommending this nursing home to anybody.

Over the last 10 years I have visited Oaklands on a weekly basis visiting a longtime friend, and for nearly a year I have been visiting two friends when a another dear friend moved to Oaklands temporarily but now says she feels settled. Both women are without partners and neither has children. Both have been independent and active. So moving to "assisted living" was not an easy choice and occurred in each case following a health crisis. I have observed the initial period of bewilderment when getting home again is the intention and the imposition of routine feels interfering and unwelcome. I have seen the intuitive way the staff at Oaklands allow new residents to settle in and the supportive approach that preserves individuality. Over the years I have seen comings and goings and the huge extension project which must have tested the resilience of everyone. The home feels like a large family and the vulnerable are supported and encouraged to take a part by staff and residents.

I would recommend Oaklands for anyone seeking good quality respite care.

A little gem overlooking Brighton, Oaklands nursing home offers comfortable accommodation, well thought out activities, lovely food, all in a happy atosphere and a beautiful garden. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff. One reservation - a bit pricey.

Thankyou so much to all the staff at Oaklands, which make it a really calm and enjoyable place to be.

A first class choice for respite care for my friend.

My stay at Wavertree House was for 2 weeks respite care. I have found the experience to be interesting, useful and enjoyable. The staff have been excellent, friendly and helpful. The accommodation is clean and well-maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wavertree House for anyone requiring residential care.

Mum is happy, and the staff have all been great and show great care.

From my experience here it is well run and managed.The activities here are varied and keep me engaged and connected. I find it generally very friendly here and the staff are attentive and constantly nice to me and caring. The food is nice and is varied! Overall my experience here so far is really good and most importantly I feel safe and secure.

My mum is very happy at Wavertree. She has settled very well, and her home is her room. Olly was great at putting up pictures. All the staff have been and still are fantastic! They are so caring, kind, and do everything they can to make the residents feel comfortable, happy and safe. The welcome at reception is warm, and I've always found them helpful, considerate and informative. A great place for my mum.Thank you!

My wife is being cared for at Wavertree and have found the home very clean and always tidy. The staff are attentive and friendly. I am happy that she is being so well looked after.

Oaklands Care Home originally cared for my father between 2021 and 2022. He received excellent care when he was there. When my mother got to the point where she needed greater help than she was receiving at home, we had no hesitation in asking Oaklands to care for her from mid 2025, initially on a respite care basis and now as a full time resident. Beti and her team are caring and professional and always do their best to provide an excellent service, whilst working in conjunction with family members to keep them appraised of day to day issues.

My mother spent two weeks in Wavertree House while her toilet was replaced at home. I was very happy with her stay. Overall it was a positive experience; nothing was too much trouble for the very pleasant staff; her room was spotlessly clean, warm and had a lovely view over the garden. She particularly enjoyed having an assisted bath, complete with coloured highlights! Her only complaint was in relation to meals arriving at unpredictable times and sometimes cold, but the regular tea and coffee trolley with biscuits and sometimes homemade cake was a delight. Having a kitchenette also helped her to feel independent, and being able to get her hair cut was a bonus.

I found myself in unfamilia terrirory when mum became ill with Dementia and was told she would need to go in to residential care, but with the amazing support and care shown towards my mum and myself we settled quickly.From the management, nurses and every carer their compasion and empathy showned to all residents is exemplary.There is lots of activitys which mum loves doing painting,drawing,playing games and trips out.I am so happy that i can visit at any time,take her out or just sit in the garden then go home knowing she is safe and happy.I recomend to everyone looking for a warm and happy environment to place a love one, oaklands is 1st class and after 5 months my mum is thriving.

I will miss my mum but will also miss the friendly welcoming atmosphere and people at Oaklands. You are superheroes, thank you so much xx
