My mum is enjoying life at Heatherdene. There is often something going on - food tasting, quizzes, puzzles, singing, competitive games, which residents can take part in if they wish. Mum is clean and putting some weight on. The building is always clean, and there are no unpleasant smells.
Staff are

I like the monthly care where residents' rooms are deep cleaned and stats taken on residents' health.

I cannot thank the Grasmere team enough for their genuine love and care of my 85-year-old father. After a difficult year and him being hospitalised for several months we were so lucky to find this wonderful home and team, who really do look after all their residents just like family. The food looks
and smells amazing, the home and rooms smell clean and are nicely decorated and the best thing, we know dad is being cared for, has a new group of brilliant friends and the entertainment is second to none. Thank you so much Antonina, Amy and team xx

Heatherdene Nursing Home

from Janet L (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been cared for (with real care) since December. She had been in hospital unable to communicate or swallow, a week earlier and had made some progress. We thought she'd make more but not as much as Heatherdene (and she) have managed. They listened to our views and referred to speech and language
therapy on Xmas eve so as to be hopeful but safe. She's now eating more normally. They recognised low mood and medication has helped her 'come back' to us. Not everyone will make this progress with end stage Parkinsons, but regardless all staff are very friendly & observant and have good relationships with her. I am wary of 'glowing' reviews but we know the care is great, as mum has mentioned that only once in 2 months has she waited for a table to be pushed closer or waited to be helped downstairs. This is remarkable when so many people have been at the end of their lives. Beena, Tina and Sarah have all been exceptional.
Lounge redecoration will soon be finished -star for facilities

Lime Tree House

from Eric C (Husband of Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been in Lime Tree House since 13/10/2025 following a period of respite. Since then, the staff have been so helpful, and assisting her to settle in and accept the permanency of her stay. I am so grateful to everyone at the home for looking after her in a way I can no longer achieve. She appears
happy and content, although she has a reluctance to ask the staff if she needs something. She feels a nuisance by doing so. The home is the best one she has been in. The bedroom and community rooms are well furnished and welcoming. There is a freshness about the place. The staff are so helpful, pleasant and understanding. I trust them to look after my wife who I have loved for 66 years. Since I am unable to give the care and attention she needs and deserves, I am more than willing to commit her to the care of Lime Tree House.

My first views on Highbury House are very nice, exceptionally clean and tidy, the bedrooms are really bright and cheerful, the staff are very professional and happy to do as requested, nothing too much trouble, I can't answer all questions as we have only been visiting for a few months. We visited at
Christmas for their party and was very impressed for all they laid on with a magician and the food was delicious.
My sister appears to be very happy which is lovely to see, we have had bad experiences with other homes and this, so far, seems to be first class.

from karen b (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family we were apprehensive about having to make the decision to have mum stay in a care home.
We chose Grasmere as mum had previously stayed there for respite and we were pleased with the level of care provided.
Mum becomes extremely anxious especially as the evening/bedtime approaches, her confusion
increases and she becomes very frightened. The staff are aware of this and help reassure her and calm her down. This is so important to us, to know she is cared for and safe.
I love the fact there is so much engagement with the residents at Grasmere - from singing, to quizzes to exercises. Christmas was lovely, there were singers from the local church and a great Christmas party for all to enjoy. The pyjama day was fun too but I am unsure who enjoyed it the most - the staff or the residents :)
Reply from Antonina Gont, Home Manager at Grasmere Rest HomeThank you so much for such a wonderful review, and we are so happy that you know Mum is safe and cared for at Grasmere. It is a delight having mum with us at Grasmere, her wonderful smile brightens all our days :)

Heatherdene Nursing Home

from Peter J (Son of Resident) published on 24 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very professionally run care home with exceptional caring staff who treated my father as though he was their family member. My father has sadly passed away but throughout his last few days the staff gave me and our family constant up dates to his well being. On the final day of my fathers life we
were called and taken to his room where the lighting was dimmed and classical music was playing softly in the back ground. Upon his passing the two members of staff were just as upset as us having looked after Dad for several years. The next morning when we returned to clear his room each member of staff that spoke to us gave their condolences which really touched us. At Heatherdene the staff are very caring and do treat your family member as family. You are always met with a warm cheery smile when ever you enter and more importantly you always see the same staff members day in and day out which is good because you can build up a good relationship between Carer, Cared For and Family

My husband and I was invited to a bonfire lunch with our friend. We had a lovely meal and it was lovely to sit with the residents and learn more about them all and their interesting lives and where they use to live. Many of them are local to Lewes and it must have been enjoyable for them to mix with

From the minute I walked into the building I felt comfortable. Being a healthcare professional for many years I have experience in what to look for. We quickly agreed that this was the place for my Dad. Happily his assessment and acceptance was managed in a timely manner and he was transferred from
hospital in days.
I am happy with the care he is receiving and have seen an improvement in his condition, despite being on palliative care.
The staff all seem pleasant and welcoming and I am always able to enquire if needed. I would certainly recommend this home to friends.
