Freshford Cottage

from Carol W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Mum has only been at Freshford Cottage for just over a week, and in her words, it is like staying in a 5 star hotel. She has a lovely room upstairs with a sea view and overlooking the salts recreation ground. The staff have been amazing and nothing is too much trouble. They have facilities going
on during the day throughout the week, so residents would never get bored. Our Mum has a large family who visit her regularly, we are always treated with the upmost respect and pleased to say the kettle is always on. Our Mum loves to chat and there is always someone on hand to listen to her. We can't ask for anymore. Our Mums happiness is paramount, and we as a family are pleased that they are taking great care of our precious Mum. Thank you so much to the brilliant staff at Freshford Cottage, couldn't wish for a more friendly family orientated place for Mum to be.

Freshford Cottage

from Alan S (Husband of Resident) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm so glad that Freshford Cottage was recommended to me. They are so caring and give such brilliant support to my wife who suffers from dementia and various other mental health problems. Initially I felt guilty not being able to care for her myself, but she wasn't safe at home. The staff at Freshford
spend a lot of time with her, not just for medical reasons but also to chat and engage with her. Being a small home with I believe only a maximum of 18 residents makes it feel very personal. All the staff are very approachable and keep me involved with her care.
Reply from Diana Midoschi, Registered Nursing Care Manager at Freshford CottageDear Alan, we appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our care home.
Your feedback means a great deal to our team and motivates us to continue providing the highest standard of care and support. Thank you again for your support and recommendation.

Heatherdene Nursing Home. Is home from home. On arrival, my mother-in-law settled in very quickly. The staff very professional, kind and caring. Heatherdene is a well-managed home. I found the communication excellent when visiting my mother-in-law, updating me how she was/had been. Which I found
very reassuring. Heatherdene is a very clean home and my mother-in-law enjoyed the food very much. The staff always welcoming on visits along with a nice cup of tea and slice of homemade cake. I would highly recommend Heatherdene.

Lime Tree House

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My extremely frail uncle came to Lime Tree House in 2022 when it became clear he was no longer able to look after himself at home. The care and support he was given at Lime Tree House was truly excellent. Being welcomed into the Lime Tree House 'family' really improved his health and his quality of
life, and as a result he had 3 happy 'bonus years' that I am certain he would not otherwise have had. The kindness of the staff towards all residents shines through, and residents are genuinely cared for, not just looked after.

Lime Tree House

from Clare S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has been living in Lime Tree House for 18 months. It wasn't an easy transition for him, but the staff were patient, kind and encouraging to him. Over time, my Dad's mental capacity has significantly decreased which was expected with his dementia diagnosis.
I remain confident that his care and
welfare needs are fully met by the staff. They KNOW my Dad and understand him. It's a small home and the person centered care is amazing.
The manager Stacey, is a calm, professional and caring. The staff have been there all the time by Dad has and some have been there for many years. This was really important to me.
The food is also freshly cooked, nutritious and tasty.
I work in the social care sector and therefore have high standards for my Dad's care. I have never been concerned that his emotional or physical care hasn't been met to a high standard.
Thank you all

My mother was placed here after a longish stay in hospital.
I knew nothing about this home and would have preferred something nearer to her residence.
However I'm not in the least bit disappointed, transport to Rottingdean is easy and quick. The home is "homely"
Living abroad I am reassured that
my mother is in the best of hands and she seems to be enjoying the care given.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
