Crest House Care Home has provided a lovely, caring and safe environment for my father-in-law during his period of respite care this summer. This has given him, and the whole family, the opportunity to reset and recover.
The staff are always cheerful, kind and helpful. My father-in-law tells everyone how well looked after he is, how wonderful the food is, and how happy he feels there.
This was his second period of respite care at Crest House, and once again we have been extremely pleased with the care he received. Our family are very happy to recommend Crest House to others looking for a caring and supportive environment.
A real home from home. The staff are all delightful and cannot be more helpful and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are always clean and bright and there is always beautifully cooked home made meals. I would 100% recommend this care home.

Crest House Care Home has welcomed my father with open arms and enabled him to grow in strength. After a week long stay in hospital for pneumonia more care was needed than I could offer at home. Crest House offers a bright and cheerful environment with a caring and dedicated team of staff who are on hand to answer any query at any time. I am so grateful for the care, compassion and first class treatment my father has received at Crest House.
I am surrounded by the most compassionate, kindest, generous, willing, loving people I never knew existed. It is like living on another planet. I am being healed mentally and improved physically. You will never know how grateful I am for you and to you. I pray that God will reward and bless you...

Most have been here for the 3 years my mum has so no big turnover of staff which speaks volumes. I have every faith in the care she's given - her every need is catered for. There is an activity daily which is always appreciated as she excels with the stimulation of it. I'd recommend Crest House to anyone.
Food excellent staff and spend the time to get to know the residents and their families.
Very happy with the choice made.

I cannot speak highly enough of this care home. The staff are absolutely wonderful and treat my friend with such kindness, patience, and respect. They go above and beyond to ensure they are cared for with real dignity, compassion, and understanding, and it truly shows in the way my friend is supported every day. The environment is welcoming, calm, and well looked after, and the staff always take the time to make residents feel valued and listened to. Knowing my friend is in such safe, caring hands gives me complete peace of mind.
Mum has been at Crest House for only a few weeks, but has quickly settled into life in this her first care home. This, no doubt, has been helped by the excellent care & attention of the staff.

We had to place my mum in emergency respite and the manager and deputy were so helpful and supportive. Since then, Mum has become a permanent resident.

We had to place my mum in emergency respite and the manager and deputy were so helpful and supportive. Since then, Mum has become a permanent resident. All the staff are warm and kind, and take an interest. They are respectful at all times and this does make a difference. They make me feel welcome too and are good at communicating information. The food is home cooked and excellent which has meant Mum's appetite has improved. I would recommend Crest House to others.
The all-round service, care and support for my father has been excellent. I am so happy he is here. The staff are wonderful and I would recommend anyone with an elderly parent needing full time support to consider this home.

A homely environment with caring staff and lovely residents. A friendly, upbeat, but gentle atmosphere. A hotel by the sea with support and thoughtful attention towards the residents. Attention is given to each person's needs and interests. Entertainment is excellent, very organised, clean and tidy with individual rooms providing the experience of a bedroom of one's own. Residents treated with dignity & respect. Hospitable to visitors.
Everyone has always been nothing but helpful and kind, its always been warm, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend for anyone seeing their services.

I have left reviews in previous years, all finding Crest House Care Home to be an excellent care home for my 97 year old aunt, who sadly passed away this month, at Crest House. She had been a resident since spring 2019. I just wanted to leave a final review, endorsing my previous praise for the care home and staff. My aunt could not have been in better hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Crest House as a homely establishment, staffed by kind, professional people, who treated my beloved aunt with dignity and compassion.
Thank you for your kind words - it really means a lot. It was a pleasure and a privilege to care for your aunt.

The staff at Crest House have been absolutely marvellous! My father became a resident in late January and ever since then he has always said how happy he is there and how well he is looked after. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the staff are always friendly and welcoming when I visit. As well as this, Crest House is always immaculately kept, the quality of the food is superb, and I'm always seeing that many different activities are arranged to keep everyone active and entertained. I'd have no hesitation in highly recommending Crest House to anyone who is in need of their top-class care and support.
Good.

My mother has been residing at Crest House for a few months. I cannot recommend the home enough. The staff are brilliant and the home feels like a home rather than a clinical establishment. I did visit a few and Crest House ticked all my boxes for mym mother's care and welfare.

Thank you for your kind review, Kim. It's an absolute pleasure to care for your mum.

At my time visiting my friend at Crest House the staff were very kind and helpful. They even seated me and my friend in one of their lovely conservatories where they gave us a cup of tea each and a biscuit or two. My friend always has a hot meal every day, seated in the newly decorated dining room and can make friends over dinner. My friend has got a very modernised room with a great view overlooking Hastings with the hill tops in the background. Overall I am writing this review because I, and my friend who lives there, are very happy with the level of care that is provided and the friendly staff and management.

Our mum was a resident at Crest House for one year. She unfortunately suffered from dementia, resulting in eating problems and although usually happy, was very stubborn and if she didn't want to do something she wouldn't do it. The care, gentle kindness, support and encouragement were second to none. She had a lovely ground floor room. She was fully mobile, so able to join in with the daily activities, especially the music and dancing. The thought given to encouraging residents to enjoy the things they like best was, again, second to none. There is a beautiful residential garden across the road, which she spent many hours enjoying. Crest House is a small, homely, loving environment. We, the family, are so grateful Mum was there, especially during the last month of her life, they looked after her so tenderly with love, dedication and expertise and went above and beyond (holding her hand and singing her favourite song to her) and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lovely home.
