Alfriston Court Care Home

I am a male aged 81 and required 2 weeks post operative care. I had a good look on the internet as regards care homes etc, and decided to visit Alfriston Court first before making a decision. I went with my cousin before my operation and we had a good look around and met the manager and then decided that this is the place to stay at. From the very first day that all of the staff were very friendly and always called my by my first name which made me feel happy and comfortable, and I found out that absolutely nothing was too much trouble, every morning I went down for breakfast I was always greeted with a bright and cheery " good morning what would you like to have this morning ". You were treated as a person not a number, this makes such a difference and makes ones stay a pleasure, even the residents were treated the same, everyone was a person not a number. My room was nice and comfortable I had magnificent views of the South Downs from my bedroom some of which I had walked upon.

Many thanks

My brother moved into Alfriston Court because he had become too frail to continue living on his own. Initially he found it difficult to accept that he needed to rely on others, along with the obvious lack of independence. However, he soon realised that all the worries associated with coping alone had disappeared and he was in the best possible place. His room was lovely and without exception the staff are kind, compassionate and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I was impressed by the quality of the care that my mother received while she was at Alfriston Court Care Home. The staff were highly professional and empathetic. My mother could not have been in better hands.

My wife was admitted for end of life care, and during her 5 weeks residence in a very pleasant double room she received excellent medical and physical care from an experienced, compassionate and kind staff of whom she became very fond. She could not have been any place better.

I just want to take a moment to write about my interaction with Alfriston Court. Firstly, it was the most beautiful care home in terms of setting. That aside all the staff I met were amazing, really caring and supportive with the needs of me as a daughter but more importantly my mother and her quite specific care needs. Thank you

After over 100 days at AC I am confident to say that this home must rank as one of the finest in the UK, superb owners dedicated to making this so. Focused management and brilliant and caring staff are a core strength. The activities team were a fountain of innovation and fun. Catering very good. Home location in the Sussex Downs, bucolic!

I heartily commend this beautiful home, who provided outstanding care to my grandmother for nine years. Wonderful staff, great activities, tasty food and a beautiful setting. The care and compassion shown in Gran's final week was hugely appreciated and enabled her to have the peaceful, dignified death at home that she had wanted. We highly commend Alfrison Court for their wonderful work.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Alfriston Court Care Home for quite a while and we have seen the wonderful transformation the new owners have made. They have taken it from a good care home to an exceptional family home with elderly residents. This has been done so carefully and considerately so the existing residents felt a gentle transition that they've been involved too. The love and care that is given by the owners and staff is amazing. Nothing is ever too much. If you're looking for a wonderful environment and loving care for an elderly resident for their last few years/months, then I thoroughly recommend this very special place.

Mum went to the home when her care needs could no longer be met at home. She has a lovely room with far-reaching views over the valley and onto the South Downs. She frequently commented on the peace and quiet of the home and that all the staff and carers were always so friendly. Sadly, mum passed away in December after complications from a small fall, but not as a result of any lack of care or attention from the home. We were so pleased that she was able to spend her final 4 months in such a pleasant and caring environment.

Thank you Alfriston Court

We made the difficult decision to put my mother into a nursing home back in July. We chose Alfriston Court for its location, warmth of staff, facilities, standard of nursing care and cleanliness. We have been overwhelmed by the quality of the care my mum has received. The staff and management have worked with us through her immense nursing requirements, her grief after losing her husband of 63 years and her mental health challenges. Mum now happily makes her way around the home, chatting with her friends and all the staff and feels safe and secure. There is a low staff turnover and lots of friendly, genuinely caring employees as well as the owners seen regularly who talk through any concerns or ensure everything is ok. I cannot recommend the home enough and we have been able to get on with our lives and enjoy being a daughter and granddaughter again knowing mum is happy, safe and cared for in beautiful surroundings.

Whilst away myself, I was delighted to hear from my wife that she was enjoying her recent stay on respite at Alfriston Court. The home is in exceptional surroundings, and she had a lovely, spacious room with a wonderful view. The staff were very good, having had a great deal of personal experience both professionally and as a resident, she said it was refreshing to feel so well looked after and to see all the members of the team supporting one another. There was obviously good leadership involved, and this reflected on the resident focused philosophy of the home.

A completely deaf housekeeper joined the home recently, so we are learning sign language. All the staff here are patient and friendly, and I am grateful and appreciate this.

I stayed at Alfriston Court because I was recovering after having a full knee replacement. Alfriston Court is a beautiful place and just the place to get some help and relaxation after a painful and demanding operation. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. If I was a resident, I would like to do a lot of activities, perhaps armchair dancing, gardening and book club, trips to the local tea shops each week and visits to the theatre. I think it is so important to keep the mind stimulated.

Everybody is very friendly and efficient.

No complaints. Made to feel at home welcome on her first day. Was very happy with the administration of medicine and heath care and I fully trust those who handle the medical and personal care.

Credit to the owners and everyone within the team.

My mother has been in Alfriston Court Care home for 9 months , having moved in on respite care she settled very quickly and made the decision to stay permanently . Mum is really happy in this home , she has a lovely room and has bought lots of her own furniture with her . The care is excellent and the staff look after her every need and are especially helpful with her medical needs . Mum loves the food, loves the activities which have really broadened her approach to life and often says the other residents and the staff are like a family to her. Mum is constantly telling me how lucky we were to find a place in this care home and it is so reassuring to me and my sister to know we don't need to worry about her wellbeing .

An excellent service. Staff are kind and caring. Food is varied and catered to your needs. Situated with fantastic views make your stay a good experience. A credit to the owners of Alfriston Court.
