Review from Fiona D (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother arrived at Bexhill Coast Care Centre following a 10-day spell in hospital and is now a permanent resident of the home.
We have found the staff to be caring, patient, humorous and efficient on both the telephone and in person.

There is a cheerful atmosphere in the home and the common areas are bright and comfortable. My mother likes her room and the staff have been very accommodating in allowing her to fill it with personal items. She enjoys the communal area and the staff make a huge effort with daily activities - this has been so important during the lockdown. They have also arranged good hairdressing and chiropody services.

Thank you for your kind words. We shall pass on your comments to the staff teams.

Overall Experience
My mother in law was in Coast Care Centre for 6 weeks after she had a fall. The care my mother in law received was outstanding. All staff were very caring and helpful. I called regularly to check my mother in law was okay and was always reassured.
I can’t thank you enough for the care you gave my mother in law. My mother in law hasn’t been very well recently, but thanks to your care I feel like we have our Mum back!

My mother in law is now in one of their sister homes and is still very happy!

Reply from Poppy Bellchambers, Executive head of Outcomes and Placements at Coast Care Centre

Thank you for your kind words, Harriet. I will ensure that I pass all your lovely words on to the rest of the team.

Review from P R (Wife of Resident) published on 22 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband was in another coast care home but went into hospital following a fall downstairs. Because he was bedridden he had to go elsewhere but hospital discharge would have been anywhere. I was so pleased Coast Care intervened and got him to Bexhill Care Centre first. Advanced Alzheimer's meant no speech but they have worked out his preferences food, drink and music, also now he's up and about a bit with a simmer and very happy. They are such friendly and dedicated staff. Even with redecorating going on, they keep everyone happy.

Review from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The general care by support workers and young support workers was wonderful. Caring, considerate and kind. Thank you so very much. My mum returned almost to her former self after a period of delirium. They managed to balance her medication and look after her so well during Coivd, and for a lady with complex care needs. Difficult to assess every aspect as Covid prevented, so review just for telephone calls and window waving.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased your Mum is recovering well.
