One of the best homes I have visited over many years of visiting friends and family, one I would highly recommend, and would wish for my final years.

Eridge House, with its 30 residents, gives you the chance to meet interested people and make new friends.
The staff are extremely kind and helpful and become friends too. There are excellent activities, which bring people together in one place. Kind owners bring their dogs in to visit - a great pleasure.
My favourite place is the conservatory, open to views of clouds and birds, and the trees and plants growing in the garden.

My aunt has been at Eridge House now for nearly 18 months. The care, support and help at this home is without fault. All the assistants go above and beyond to help in whatever the circumstances, from the office staff to the care workers. They make it feel like a proper home, not an institution. They welcome visitors and keep relatives informed about everything going on in the home for the residents. I cannot fault Eridge House, just thank them.
All my needs are catered for. My key workers are always on hand to help and take care of anything I need. They are always happy and attentive. There are always lots of varied activities to suit different personalities. The choice of food is always good and the quality is excellent.

My mum needed to move into a care home and we looked at a number of different homes, but Eridge House had such a warm family feel to it. The staff are amazing, so giving and caring, and do all they can to help residents and make them feel at home. It is a really well organised home and Mum has a lovely room which she is very happy with and regularly takes part in the different afternoon activities that are carefully organised, she loved when they brought different pets into the home. There is always such a warm welcome and any questions we have are answered and the staff are so lovely and helpful. I can really recommend Eridge House, it is a fantastic care home that feels like a family and I am so pleased my mum has settled in and is being so well looked after.

My mother was in need of full time care after leaving the hospital and I searched the area for a suitable care home. After visiting Eridge House it was obvious that it was exactly what I was looking for. Such lovely caring staff in a clean homely environment and perfect for her needs. They spent time making sure she settled into her new home and nothing was too much trouble. Mum's health and general well-being has improved immensely over the time she has spent there and she has a great relationship with her carers. The weekly menu is well-balanced and has a good variety to suit everyone. Daily entertainment/activities take place every day to keep the residents happy and active. Overall I would recommend Eridge House to anyone looking for a quality care home.
Mum is very happy in this home. She is really well looked after. Food is excellent quality and always a good choice of dishes. Room is very clean.

My nan had a recent respite stay at Eridge House after a short stay in hospital. My family are not overly local and I wanted her to recover in a place that still felt like home and Eridge was that place. They welcomed my nan in with open arms. I cannot fault how clean the home was and my nan was extremely complimentary on the meals she had whilst there, as well as how kind and caring all of the staff were. The team give you a family feel with a professional touch, I cannot thank them all enough and would recommend Eridge House to anyone!
I have always been greeted with a friendly welcome. The accommodation and staff are outstanding. The latter go out of their way to provide your wishes. When my son-in-law first came he said 'it's like a hotel'. The garden is a pleasant place to while away and meet your friends on a sunny day.

My mother has been a resident at Eridge House since June this year and the staff have helped us all through the difficult period of mental capacity assessment, initial isolation, inclusion, and from then on ongoing support always with a friendly, caring attitude. With 2 specific carers assigned to my mother, our family have always received timely updates relating to her health and well-being and when a doctor or nursing attendance has been required they have also been supportive. The link between the Care Home with NHS support couldn't be better. My mother understands that she needs to be in a Care Home and is always positive when speaking of the staff, management, food, facilities, and the wonderful garden outlook from her room. I am very pleased that we chose Eridge for our mother and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in the position of trying to find a caring, friendly and supportive Care Home.
I feel very safe and protected. Everything here is very nice; I have no complaints.

Heidi has a wealth of experience in the health and social care sector, including working as a manager of a care home prior to becoming the proprietor of Eridge House.
In Heidi's words... I have had the privilege of owning Eridge House since 1988. I have lived in Bexhill for most of my life and for ten years I held the post as a trustee for two local charities which I found most rewarding. One of my biggest achievements is seeing the development of Eridge House from registration of fourteen in 1988 to that of forty-three older people today. Embracing the changing ways in which we work, and the diverse and skilled team led by our Directors and Managers.

Laura is responsible for managing the management team and working closely with Heidi to oversee the running of Eridge House as a business, alongside Nicole.
In Laura's words... My first ever job was at Eridge House as a teenager. I went on to become a Care Assistant here, obtained my NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care, and after a few years away I returned as manager in 2018 until 2022 alongside Nicole. I thoroughly enjoyed my role here as manager and am thrilled to remain working at Eridge House, now in the role of Director. I have achieved my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management in Health & Social Care and have experience working in both a care home setting and as a domiciliary care provider. Working at Eridge House has always felt special. People often comment on the homely and friendly feel and that is something the entire team are dedicated to providing for all residents and their loved ones.

In Nicole's words... When I was offered the job of Supper Assistant at the age of 14 at Eridge House I never imagined that I would become a Director here alongside my sister, Laura. After travelling and acquiring various work experience, I was delighted to return to Eridge House, first in the role of Accounts Manager, to then go on to become the Registered Manager, and now a Director. The friendly atmosphere makes Eridge an enjoyable place to work alongside our dynamic team. My role requires commitment, dedication, and diversity and this is incredibly rewarding. I have obtained my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management in Health & Social Care.

In Rhia's words... I started working at Eridge House during the first COVID-19 lockdown. I had every intention of staying on board as bank staff and returning to my old job, however, when I was offered a permanent role at Eridge House, I couldn't say no, I loved the homely feel and knew I would be happy here with such a good team around me and lovely residents. I have completed my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management in Health & Social Care and enjoy applying what I have learnt to my role as manager.

Alongside Marie, Samantha is responsible for assisting Rhia in managing the home and providing support to our Care Assistants in their role. “From the young age of 13, I found myself drawn to caring. I started out as a tea girl in a residential home, but what I hadn’t realised then was that it was a calling for a lifelong career. I have gained my Level 3 NVQ in Health & Social Care and Dementia qualifications and stepped into more complex roles and eventually into leadership. After working my way up the chain, I am now Assistant Manager. I really love working at Eridge House, especially the wonderful team and lovely residents”
