Care Homes Owned by Sussex Housing & Care

Woodlands care of mum over the past 3.5 years has been excellent. The individual, person-centred care from the well trained and attentive staff have made her final years very happy ones. Mum often said "I like it here, the staff are kind to me " they took time to get to know what she liked to join in with, especially the music and singing activities, craft and table top sessions where the staff sat alongside encouraging and finding out about the residents lives and likes and dislikes. The mealtimes are especially carefully organised, with home cooked food from the resident chefs who frequently survey the residents about their views of the menu. As relatives we have always been kept fully informed of mums changing needs and every staff member acknowledges us when we visited mum, updating us on her health and general well being. Mum passed away this week after a short illness and as a family we all agree that the staff at Woodlands are an exemplary team. Thank you for your care of her.

Mum has been looked after very well. unfortunatly she never took part in anything, now at the end of life she is getting good care.

Ida has had excellent care all of the time, it was sad that initially she declined from participating with the other residents. It was her choice. It is also sad that she spends most of her time asleep. That's no life.

My father-in-law has been here for some months now and we have nothing but praise for Oakwood Court and the lovely staff. The rooms and communal areas are super, the food is good and the facilities are excellent. There are lots of excellent activities and photos are posted daily on social media so relatives can enjoy them. Our family researched many homes before choosing Oakwood and this place stood out from all the rest. 100% recommend.

My greatest respect to management and staff.

I would thoroughly recommend Woodlands.

A very lovely and welcoming place. Excellent facilities, staff and overall atmosphere. We would recommend it to anyone.

Always happy, caring atmosphere. Mum always clean and as tidy as possible. Only negative point is the financial department at Head Office. Statements are never sent nor invoices. Caused huge problems when dealing with ESCC., and when they are sent, it is far too confusing. It has cost me over £1000 in accountants fees to sort. Hopefully after all this time we are straight!

I cannot give enough thanks for the care and security given to my mum constantly by all of the staff and management. I speak for all of my family in that allow us all great peace of mind when we have full confidence that our dear mum is looked after 27/7.

A shining example for other care homes. Lots of staff and activities with good food at meal times.

Actually a comment on the five years that my stepfather has lived at Saxonwood, sadly dying one month short of his 95th birthday. In fact, looking at the first instance, it was March 16th five years ago it became home, and a wonderful, if not ideal, one, which he grew into, with friends and warmth, among staff and fellow residents, and good food (mealtimes always his favourite time of day), a full day of activity. He adjusted to not being at home, and became alive in a way after being at home by himself for some years. I think we can only be enormously grateful to you all and to those who strongly endorsed the choice. Heartfelt thanks.

Keep up the great work Saxonwood!! You are a piece of heaven on earth!

Good solid care from friendly staff. Group activities available if you want them, good range of food with regular specials. Homely feel to the place, you're not isolated and there is always some activity going on. Staff do a good job of fancy dress on the odd occasion! Edge-of-town location at the end of a side-street means low traffic, easy access for emergency services. Good car park for visitors

We brought my Mother in Law home today after a successful 2 week stay and none of us would hesitate in recommending Oakwood Court to friends, family or others.

Christmas party at Oakwood Court. The event was extremely well organised for residents and their families. Staff and entertainment was excellent and as usual the food was 1st class.

We had a wonderful Christmas party at Oakwood. All the staff were welcoming and helpful and very caring to the residents. Recently we brought friends to visit my sister and their reaction was - they have never visited such a lovely care home as it is at Oakwood Court. One of the visitors is a retired nurse and she was overwhelmed with the comfort, cleanliness and friendliness of Oakwood and the staff. Well done all.

Having now spent one year at Oakwood Court, Mum has been very happy and appreciates all the help and support she has received from all the lovely carers. She obviously feels safe and secure here and we (her daughters) continue to be impressed by the staff who often seem to go above and beyond to help her.

Always have a good experience with staff being supportive.

A lovely home, staff appear caring & helpful, mum is here for respite and appears well and happy. We attended xmas party today (12/12/25) which was well organised and appropriate for the people living here. Staff looked after residents and there familys. Entertainment was good.
