I cannot emphasise strongly enough how kind and generous the care for my loved one was in Heatherdene Nursing Home. At all times, he was treated with dignity and compassion and staff chatted to him about his interests and life outside Heatherdene. When the end came as we knew it would, his care was
excemplary and your wonderful staff were sensitive, kind and professional as always.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother in law needed palliative care. We chose Highbury House as it was local to us and when I looked around was welcoming and the staff where able to address all of my concerns. She was given a beautiful room. She was very well looked after including regular hair washes and her nails being painted
which were very important to her. As a family we were welcomed and able to visit at anytime. She appreciated being visited by children from the local school. We really appreciate all the care and support from all the staff.

Reply from Christine Barber, Manager at Highbury House

Thank you for your lovely comments of our home and team, your review is most appreciated. We would like to thank you for trusting us to look after your mother-in-law, it was a privilege for us.

Freshford Cottage

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We were very apprehensive about moving my father-in-law to a home as he'd been so independent for such a long time; however, within hours, he had settled in. He started joining in with the activities and other residents and looked so happy. As soon as we walked in the door, it felt like home from home,
and the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We were offered tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits on every visit. The food always looked delicious and was beautifully presented, cooked fresh, and was such a great choice. His room was cosy with a separate toilet and sink, TV and a nice view; everything he needed was there. The activities they provide are wonderful, and you can see the residents' joy at being offered such a great opportunity to join in. The staff complement the home so much and are very kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Freshford Cottage to anyone looking for care, as we couldn't fault it. It really is like home.

We were so delighted to get a room at Freshford Cottage for my sister-in-law who was discharged from a London hospital for end-of-life care. The staff were all so caring, friendly & supportive, despite the additional challenges that dementia brought. The nursing care was efficient and effective. The
food was beautifully prepared, with all preferences taken into account. The beauty of a smaller home is the personalised attention that is possible both for the resident & their families. We would not hesitate to recommend Freshford Cottage to others.

My husband was cared for at Heatherdene for almost 3 years. I visited daily but on the rare occasions when I couldn't be with him knowing he was in their care gave so much peace of mind. Their kindness and support, to me also, was so very much appreciated.

I am so relieved to have found Heatherdene for my mother. From my very very visit, Heatherdene has always been a welcoming and friendly place. The staff are clearly very caring and know all the residents extremely well. My mother is receiving outstanding care there and has improved significantly since
arriving 18 months ago. She enjoys being brought into the lounge every day and the stimulation she receives through both staff and resident interactions plus the daily activities has really added to her quality of life. I would highly recommend Heatherdene to anyone looking for a supportive and caring home.

Mum was in Heatherdene for 7 years until she recently passed away. The love, care and respect she was given by all staff in this time was second to none. My utmost thanks go to all concerned, especially in the last days of her life when they cared for me as much as for Mum.

My mother, who has dementia and is bed bound, has been a resident at the Home for a while now. She is in a lovely room with a view of the beautiful garden and loves being able to see the birds and flowers. My main take of the Home is just how lovely the staff are. All of them are very caring and
friendly and have a good rapport with my Mum. It is also nice that you can make yourself at home there when you visit. I feel very comfortable that my Mum is being cared for now that I can't look after her.

My mother was in Heatherdene in 2019 so was no question of doubt that mother in law would receive excellent care in the best nursing home in Bexhill-On-Sea. The staff are considerate, caring and fantastic at all times. Nothing is too much trouble and there was no other place we would of chosen for her
end of life care. We cant thank Heatherdene enough.

Mum was admitted to Heatherdene in January 2025 with complex medical needs, leading to palliative care and an end of life pathway. The home and the staff were always caring and professional with a number of calls to me or my sister if there were concerns about mums condition. The home were able to deal
successfully with pain management and were able to keep her comfortable right through until her passing in March 2025.
To all the staff at Heatherdene - keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

My family and I are very satisfied with the care my husband received. I visited him every day, could spend as much time as I wished with him and he seemed content. It is a good community with a range of activities each week which help to keep the residents minds alert, with quizzes, general knowledge,
physical exercise, which visitors could join in. They always made an effort to get my husband up and into the day room and dining room. The food was excellent. When he died I was treated with care and compassion.

A friend of mine was admitted to Heatherdene last year. She was in very poor health and unable to swallow solid food. Since then the outstanding care and attention she has received have transformed her life. She now eats well, takes part in daily activities and every time I visit tells me how happy
and comfortable she is at Heatherdene. This home is clearly well managed with professional, friendly, caring, staff. I am very confident about the care my friend receives.

Excellent nursing home where the staff are highly professional, caring, attentive to the wishes of the residents and their families. Beautiful building, nice rooms where residents can bring in personal items to make them feel more at 'home', immaculately clean. The meals are very good with a wide variety
of dishes. The activities are wonderful - bingo, sing along, quizzes, films, etc., all run by such a dedicated person who brings such energy, compassion and happiness to these communal sessions.
We could not have hoped for a better place for my Mum to be. We are truly grateful to the staff and the Management there.
