Overall Experience

From the moment we contacted one staff member in particular at Beechwood Care Home, we knew it was the right place for Mum, who has Alzheimer's. The warmth, happiness, and genuine care from staff stood out immediately.
The move-in process was seamless, and the team was incredibly supportive during

what could have been a very emotional day. Mum settled in quickly, formed lovely friendships, and takes part in all the amazing activities, including fun trips out. Seeing her smile in the regular social media updates brings us such joy.
The home is spotless, the food is excellent, and Mum always looks well cared for and happy - she even enjoys a G&T in the evenings! Alzheimer's is a cruel disease, but Mum now has quality of life, and we have peace of mind. Beechwood Care Home is exceptional, and we couldn't recommend it more.

Overall Experience

My mum was resident at Beechwood Grove (nursing care) from January 2025, and during that time she received excellent care from everyone. There was no shortage of daily events she could take part in if she wished, nursing and other staff were always very helpful and kind, and helped to organise mum's

93rd birthday party in the separate residents' room, which she really enjoyed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Beechwood Grove to anyone looking for their relative to be happy and well looked after.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Beechwood Grove almost a year ago now and from the first moment she arrived she has extremely well cared for. Everyone from the housekeeping team, the carers, the nursing staff, catering team, lifestyle team, receptionists, to the management team have all been first

class. Everyone is so professional, caring, kind and compassionate. There are lots of daily activities for her to do, including a weekly trip out which she loves. Her recent birthday was celebrated in style and again the staff made her feel so special on the day followed by a celebration buffet the day after. As a family we are very happy and can see that mum is thriving, it has given her a new lease of life! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for residential care for a loved one.

Overall Experience

I just want to express my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional care my late mother received during her time at this care home. From the moment she arrived, every member of the team showed such kindness, compassion and professionalism - not just towards her, but towards us as a family too.
It's hard

to put into words how much it meant to see her treated with such dignity and warmth. There was a real sense of humanity in everything the staff did, and that made all the difference at a very difficult time.
The care here goes far beyond the clinical - it's thoughtful, personal and genuinely compassionate. We'll always be thankful for the support we received and will remember it with deep appreciation.

My husband has been a resident of Beechwood grove for aprox. 4 years. I have never had cause to think he is not being cared for properly. The staff are considerate towards him and go the extra mile to accommodate his needs. The managers are always totally approachable at any time they are available.

I would not consider any other care home.

I have been visiting Hastings Court for some time now and the care and attention given to all their residents are exemplary. Every member of staff is cheerful and no request appears to be too much trouble and is delivered with a smile.
On entering the home I have always been greeted warmly and feel

my friends are in the best place to be looked after.
Many thanks.

Overall Experience

This is a truly outstanding home. Having dealt with two other care homes and also an in home care firm previously, Hastings Court knocks socks off them. It is very clear that they are there to provide what they advertise, unlike previous people we have dealt with and that is priceless. We have two family

friends as residents and the peace of mind is immense. We know that they are getting all the care they need and the staff could not be nicer. They go above and beyond. I cannot recommend Hastings Court highly enough. If you want your loved ones to be given the care and attention they deserve then look no further.

We are delighted with the care at Hastings Court. The staff are all cheerful, friendly, positive and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. My mother recently celebrated her 98th birthday and we had a small family tea party. We had exclusive use of the entertainment room for this. It was beautifully

prepared with cloths, place settings, flowers, balloons, and full afternoon tea. There was a cake with mum's name on it and we could stay as long as we liked! Thanks especially to three members of the team for this. Mum has improved since coming here.

My Mother has been in the lovely Beechwood Grove Care Home for over a year and is now an established part of the Beechwood Grove family.
The home is always warm and there is always a genuine friendly welcome from the lovely girls on reception, who also kindly book Mums wheelchair transport for us.
The

minibus driver is amazing.
Special thanks to the team for their continuing sorting of Mums care and communication with me over any changes.
Hospitality staff are brilliant.
The carers on Ash are all loving to Mum.
Thanks to them all especially one member of the team in particular who understands Mum. Thanks to the night girl who baths Mum.
The member of staff who does the Residents laundry is a favourite too..
There are too many staff to mention all by names but this reviews big shout out is to the lifestyle team of girls who work relentlessly to organise constant activities for the residents, and who have provided a fantastic activity program for the whole of December.
Thank you Beechwood Grove.

Overall Experience

All the team of staff at Beechwood Grove put on such a lovely Christmas for the residents and us visitors. It was a joy to visit each day, all the staff were invariably good humoured, kind and professional at the same time. The atmosphere was jolly and bright whilst maintaining the same high standards

of care and nursing provision.
I appreciate it takes a lot of hard work and good will from the whole team, at every level, to make that happen throughout the home in terms of care, catering, nursing, lifestyles and domestic and maintenance services, and to keep it up 24 hours a day, every day. Everyone was brilliant.
My mum and I and wider family are really grateful.

Amazing place, this is how all care homes should be, so caring. My mother has been a resident for 2 years and this care home has surrounded her with love.
Every step of her journey has been shared with the family as they have ensured her comfort and care, meals have been top class, activities tailored

to the residents daily and it is so clean and comfortable it is easy to settle in and feel 'at home'. Staff and residents are appreciated and this is reflected in the atmosphere which is so welcoming to everyone.
Sadly as is the nature of the beast our journey has now ended and I will miss visiting the home but finish with a heartfelt thank you for everything we have shared and the support you have given to us all.

Overall Experience

The care and professionalism of the staff at Beechwood Grove never fails to gain my respect. On last week's visit to see my sister, we were present in the bistro cafe area and witnessed one of the resident's chairs overbalanced, causing the lady to fall. She assured everyone around that she was alright

and looked so but the staff present put into action what was obviously a well-trained routine, calling in the resident "fall" specialist who put the lady through certain actions to test for responses and any possibilities of breakages, by keeping her still. Paramedics were called and undertook further checks. I am now even more confident that my sister is in the best possible place for kindness, care and correct procedures followed when things go wrong. Thanks all.

My mother was made welcome from the moment she arrived. Whilst her health was deteriorating rapidly, the staff made every effort to keep her comfortable. Although her stay at Hastings Court was only a short one. I cannot fault the care and attention of the staff, right up to her passing.

I became a resident here on the 26th of April. As a happily married couple, it was a hard decision but the gentle, loving and effective care that I have always received convinced us that we were making the right decision. The nursing care that I have received has always been practical, efficient and

respectful. The lifestyle team have always been enthusiastic and encouraging but never forceful. The activities offered have been varied and appropriate but never imposed. I would be confident in recommending Beechwood Grove to any enquirer.

Overall Experience

My 87-year-old mother, who has dementia, is a resident at Beechwood Grove. In December 2023, having visited an exhaustive list of care homes in Eastbourne, we realised that Beechwood Grove was simply in a different league. From the initial contact, the client relations manager and the general Manager

guided us through the process of admitting Mum and reassuring us during what was a difficult time for all the family. All the team helped Mum settle in and have always treated her with respect and empathy - understanding her specific needs. The level of care, whether it be social, medical or personal, is exceptional and, as a family, we know that Mum could not be in better hands. The communication with us from the care team is outstanding and, whenever we call or visit, nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Mum's room and all the facilities/amenities are second to none, as is the choice of food. The range of 'lifestyle' activities available to residents is inspiring too.

Reply from Kirsty Farmer, Client Relations Manager at Beechwood Grove

Thank you for your very kind words about your experience from initial contact to the present day. We are glad you chose Beechwood for your mum.
