Review from Tessa T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I cannot praise the manager and staff highly enough for the care and commitment they gave to our mother in her short stay at the home. Unfortunately, she was not able to appreciate her surroundings or care and died very shortly after being admitted. However we, her family did appreciate it and felt that her last days were dealt with compassionately.

Overall Experience

We are so grateful for the care given by all the staff at Southlands. My mother was there for respite of two weeks. this service, suitable for my mother's needs, has not been easy to find but from the first home visit, we knew by the questions asked that mum would be well cared for. This was the case as she returned home saying she would like to go and stay again. Best review we could ask for. Thank you for caring for my mother as if she were your loved one.

Review from Margaret G (Wife of Resident) published on 8 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I was more than delighted to be able to move my husband into Southlands from a 3 month long stay in hospital. I found the manager welcoming, warm, a pleasure to talk to and very efficient and thoughtful. I viewed 6 homes and decided on Southlands because it was value for money compared with cheaper (but I couldn't feel happy with them) and one more expensive but offering a similar environment. Food was wholesome. I have to stress that any niggles are minimal compared with comfort and care. The improvement in my husband is amazing. Thank you Southlands from the bottom of my heart.

Wonderful state-of-the-art, newly built care home with spacious en-suite rooms and beautifully furnished sitting and dining rooms. But best of all, the staff were fantastic, both caring and professional. My mother could not have been better looked after.

Review from Irene S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After three very distressing weeks, with my father in and out of hospital. He was assessed by the Southlands manager. Her understanding and compassion for our desperate situation meant that my father did not have to spend another weekend in hospital. He is now settled and safe in Southlands. Staff and management have been amazing, so supportive. Southlands does not have a nursing home feel as my father would not tolerate that. It is a beautiful place, so bright and cheerful, it lifts the spirit. Residents and relatives are treated with respect and kindness. It feels like home, a truly holistic environment.

Review from David C (Cousin of Resident) published on 13 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My 90-year-old cousin moved into Southlands Place after a hip replacement. She needs nursing care due to moderate dementia and relative immobility. It is a new home which is light, airy and well appointed. Her room is bright and comfortable with en-suite facilities. The staff are very caring, friendly and efficient, spending a lot of time ensuring that all the resident's needs are met. I had lunch in the home and the choice, quality and quantity of food was excellent.

I am very impressed with the nursing home. It is clean/tidy and everyone of the staff are friendly and caring. Also very helpful with any questions or problems, my friends was very disorientated and upset at her move from hospital but the staff were very able and kind to her, we felt quite happy at leaving her in their charge.

Overall Experience

My mother, who has dementia, recently had 2 weeks excellent respite care at Southlands Place. It is a wonderful care home with very caring, friendly skilled staff led by an inspirational manager. The brand new care home is beautiful with excellent well appointed facilities. The varied daily activities were just what my mother needed to keep her stimulated. When we collected my mother she had a healthy glow, was happy and relaxed which is testament to the excellent care she received at Southlands Place.

Review from Geoff W (Son of Resident) published on 11 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Southlands Place has numerous facilities in a purpose designed, new building in a pleasant location. Excellent care is being provided and once there are more residents it is expected that the variety of activities will increase even further. Early days yet but huge potential to be a wonderful care home.

The care staff and nursing care were excellent. Nothing appeared too much trouble for them and they undertook their duties with skill and care and always appeared friendly and concerned for ones welfare.
The kitchen staff were excellent and the food was of a high standard.

The administrative staff were also excellent and always available to deal with any queries one might have. I could find no fault with this care home. Service at meal times was also very good.

A very welcoming atmosphere was felt on my visit to Southlands Place both from the staff and very pleasant bright and fresh surroundings. My mother has settled quickly into her new home and we have every confidence that she is being well cared for by everyone at Southlands Place. Each time we visit mum seems content and being attended to by staff or happily sitting with other residents. We are delighted with all aspects of Southlands Place.

Everyone very friendly. Plenty of staff to talk to residents and make sure they are happy. Respond to their needs. Perhaps could co with a "messy" lounge where games, books, dominoes etc are left on tables to be picked up, used and left. Tables in lounges too low to play games or leave puzzles out. Maybe need some exercise area. Need a cloakroom for visitors winter coats.

I am so glad that Southlands opened in Bexhill last month just as I was looking for a really lovely rest home for my father. Not only is the building top class but the staff are so kind, considerate, friendly and patient. Nothing seems too much trouble. They take the utmost care and carry in their work in the most friendly and approachable way. I could very happily live there myself. I can't recommend them highly enough. They are going to set the standard for care in Bexhill now. We need more care homes of this standard.

Meet the Team (1)

Fiona Yurteri Job Title: Home Manager
Fiona Yurteri

I have been at Southlands Place for over four 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 to 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. Every day, my team and I 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.

I hope to welcome you to Southlands Place soon, I’d be delighted to show you around. Best wishes, Fiona.
