My husband has happily been in Eridge House as a respite resident while I have chemotherapy. He is very well cared for and has no complaints. Having Alzheimer's, he is very forgetful and the carers are very patient with him.

The care at Eridge House is exceptional. I feel that my mum is well looked after and that her needs relating to her dementia are met well. Eridge has managed to keep everyone COVID free during the pandemic which is an astonishing achievement. Regarding government guidelines, I do strongly feel that it is past time to allow care home residents more freedom - keeping them confined to the care homes is now detrimental to their mental health.
Everybody is very friendly and I enjoy living here. I feel very looked after and management always help if I need it. It has been nice to be able to see my son safely.

My dad is extremely well looked after here and we are very happy with his care. The home is very much like a home from home and everyone is very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend Eridge House.

Only ever having had bad experiences of care homes in the past, my visits to Eridge House have changed my opinion. The place is spotless, all the staff are caring with a great sense of humour and I understand that the food is good too. Nothing is too much trouble.

Mum went into Eridge House just before the national lockdown. The staff at Eridge are very caring and hard working. They have all been superstars working under such difficult conditions and I have been very impressed with the way that mum has been looked after meaning that her care has been a weight off my mind. Their current social distanced visits are also very well managed and COVID safe. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a care home of excellent facilities, staff and care of their residents.

My aunt moved to Eridge at the beginning of March 2020 when the world changed. I was very impressed that they closed their doors to visitors earlier than government guidelines so that filled me with initial confidence. Nothing has been too much trouble whether it be a telephone call or email question. To keep my aunt connected with the world I got an iPhone delivered and within 30 mins was enjoying a great FaceTime with her. Thank you for setting that up for her and always ready to “run to her room” to connect her - it has meant a great deal to her and us. Outdoor social distancing visits were well organised and I would like to say another thank you for celebrating her 70th birthday with her during this pandemic. Definitely treated like royalty but from what I can gather that seems the way every day.

Flexible arrangements have been made for face to face visits.

We could not fault any aspects of her care whilst at the home. In our opinion, this is an excellently run care home.
As you can see from my ratings, I found everything was highly satisfactory.

My sister who had lived...
My sister who had lived independently (now 87) now found living in a single room (with ensuite) distressing and frustrating. While the caring staff treated her with love, care, respect and dignity, she was unable to use the amenities provided. She developed a strong fixation on the temperature and content of the air in her room - which the patient staff allowed for. Despite her failing strength over her last few months she continued to receive the same care and support to the end.
I dreaded choosing a care home for Mum in case I got it wrong and she wasn't happy. Two years on, I still feel so relieved and grateful that she went to Eridge House because she is well looked after by kind and caring staff and I know I can always trust them to do that.

I dreaded choosing a care home for Mum in case I got it wrong and she wasn't happy. Two years on, I still feel so relieved and grateful that she went to Eridge House because she is well looked after by kind and caring staff and I know I can always trust them to do that. They also observe her health carefully and are quick to call the GP if necessary. Our family (and dog) visit frequently and are always made welcome too. If you ask me to sum up Eridge House in a single word I would say, "homely" which for Mum and me, says something very important.
The staff go out of their way to make my mum happy and content. They chat to her and make her laugh. Even difficult subjects ie end of life package are sorted with dignity and care. In fact, she wishes her ashes to be buried at the house under a rose bush. She tells me that this is her 'happy' time...

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”
