He has not had one fall in Southlands place and I regularly cook him if he is happy and comfortable to which he replies "oh yes I am quite comfy here and the stay are lovely" I never thought I would hear him say that as he never liked the idea of a home yet Southlands Place has stayed up to the mark.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that your friend has settled in so well at Southlands Place and that he feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after by our team. Your wonderful comments have been passed on to the team, who will be delighted to hear your feedback.
Wonderful, friendly staff. Pleasant surroundings. We didn't realise we had to phone prior to coming to eat lunch with my friend (misinformed), but were made welcome anyway.

The building is bright and welcoming with a bistro area near the reception that gives off a good vibe.
There are activities to do daily if one wishes, singing, arts and crafts, film afternoons, bingo, music and memories etc.
There is a dinning room if one wishes to socialise. With a lounge and dinner room area on each floor with other rooms to sit in quietly if one wishes.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear how happy you are with your mum being at Southlands Place.

My father-in-law has now been at Southlands for a year. During this time I have nothing but praise for the entertainments girls. Every month there is a different theme and it is always a pleasure to walk in. Their recent autumn window is amazing from the outside I thought the drawings were stencils, but no, everything to my amazement was hand drawn! They are a credit to the home.
Thank you for your review and kind comments regarding our team. Our activities team at Southlands Place puts a great deal of creativity and care into everything they do, and it's lovely to hear that their efforts, especially the hand-drawn autumn window, made such a positive impression. Your wonderful comments have been passed on to the team, who will be delighted to hear your feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're happy to hear that your mum is receiving such great care at Southlands Place and that the kindness and care our team provides has made such a positive impact. We also appreciate your feedback regarding cleanliness and meals. Cleanliness is very important to us, and I'll follow up with the housekeeping team to address this. Thank you for your suggestion about including more vegetables and salads, particularly during the summer months. I'll pass this on to our catering team as we continue to review and improve our menus. Thank you once again for your review.
Wonderful care home- all staff very lovely helpful and friendly. Helped my brother out no end and make him comfortable and very welcome.

Staff are helpful & attentive. The home is clean and touches such as decent curtains & lamp shades make a homely environment. Multiple activities available. Considerate nurses. Lovely garden. Best care home in the area. I'm grateful my aunt is now a permanent resident.

Our Mum moved to Southlands on December 27th 2024 after spending many weeks in hospital. Initially Mum was very confused, scared and vulnerable. Over time Mum started to settle, put weight on and gained some friends who she readily speaks to. We feel very much that Mum's stay at Southlands has been...
The only reason we are moving here is to be closer to us as a family, the distance is very difficult to arrange visiting. We are an hour and a half away. We are very happy to have us near her again but grateful for all the support Mum has been given.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're happy to hear that your mother had such a positive experience at Southlands Place.

My mother stayed at Southlands as a respite resident for a couple of weeks and had a warm and friendly welcome, settling in very quickly. This has helped us to make a decision to change this to permanent residency. We have nothing but praise for the staff who are approachable and friendly but also importantly very experienced and efficient. My mother has really enjoyed the activities she has joined in with during this time. Southlands does not have the institutional feel (or smell) that so many homes seem to have and visitors are always welcome.
Many thanks for your positive review. We're delighted that your mother felt comfortable with us during her respite stay and that she's now part of the Southlands Place family.

We couldn't have found a better place for my mother during the last months of her life. She didn't want to be in a nursing home but the compassion, patience, and care shown by the staff made the transition so much easier and she settled in happily after all! Even when short-staffed she was never forgotten or left out of activities (even though bedridden) and felt truly part of the 'family'.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're so sorry for your loss and we hope we could make the last months of your mother's life as enjoyable and peaceful as possible.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're so sorry for your loss and we hope we could make the last months of your mother's life as enjoyable and peaceful as possible. We know that it was a difficult transition for her to stay in a nursing home but we're glad she settled in and enjoyed her stay. It was an absolute pleasure having her as part of the Southlands family and she will certainly be missed. Our team will be touched to hear your lovely comments!
I have always found the care staff very attentive and sensitive to my mother's needs. They are all very caring and compassionate. Keep up the good work and stay cheerful as you are.

We, as a family, can not thank the manager and her team enough for the part they all played in Mum's health improving.
The activities kept Mum entertained throughout her stay, and Mum enjoyed her trips to the inclusive hairdresser.
If there was a criticism, the food could be hit and miss at times.
Thank you for your lovely comments; it was a pleasure for us to support your mum. It brings the team great joy to see the positive impact that they have had on your mum's life and that she has now been able to return home. We look forward to seeing her at our future events.

I was very pleased to entrust the care of my 85-year-old wife to Southlands Place. I found the staff very caring and nothing was too much trouble for them if I asked for anything. Many of the nurses went above and beyond their normal duties to ensure that my wife felt settled. I know that she was not always the easiest resident/patient. I cannot comment on the food and activities and although my wife was funded I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for an above-the-range of care.
Thank you very much for your kind words, David. Nothing will stop us from delivering outstanding care for our residents at Southlands Place. It was a pleasure to take care of your wife in the time she spent with us and to be able to support you at this time. The team joins me in thanking you for your positive comments.
My mother died of aspiration pneumonia and sepsis despite my repeated requests that she see a doctor. I was told there is no access to a doctor, only a paramedic. She was not given the correct nursing care she needed. I will never forgive myself for letting her be placed here.

I have been at Southlands Place for over eight years and am proud to have been promoted from Deputy Manager to Home Manager in that time.
As a registered general nurse, I started out my career at Hurstwood Park Neurological Centre, working in the intensive care unit specialising in brain trauma and injury, supporting patients with Neurological deficits. From there, I transferred my skills into working with residents living with dementia. I have previously managed Nursing Homes and supported the needs of a diverse range of residents.
It is important to me that our residents receive the care and respect that they deserve and that they see this as their home and family. Everyday myself and my team want to make a difference to our residents’ lives; seeing a smile on their face and laughing makes everything worthwhile. I have an amazing team around me, and it is important to me that my team are supported in their roles to assist our residents, as well as giving them the opportunity to develop and learn new skills, as this is what has helped me throughout my career.
Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, walking along the seafront and spending time with family and friends, as well as supporting local charities through fundraising activities. I hope to welcome you to Southlands Place soon; I’d be delighted to show you around. Best wishes, Fiona.
