Southlands Place

My mum has been in the home for 2 years with dementia and now needing full nursing care. I can only speak for those staff that work on the 1st floor but I am sure the excellent care my mother gets is what all residents receive in the home. The staff are friendly and spend a lot of time with the residents, the entertainment is good and suitable for all needs. The home is clean and warm and has a homely feel. The main reason for this review is to praise the staff who are the very best at what they do, the dedication and consistent strive to meet all the needs of every resident is amazing. I go to the home every day at different times and every time I leave I know my mum is very well looked after. Thank you Southlands Place.

I'm sure everybody there helped to make mum's final days there as comfortable and peaceful as they could.

A very pleasant experience and I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to friends and family. It certainly helped me to regain my confidence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I could not feel happier and more satisfied with the care that my father receives at the above home. He has settled so well and this is down to all staff at the home. The home is beautiful and so homely.

Excellent in every way. Caring staff - nurses, assistants, management. Beautiful brand new home and gardens. My mother came in for respite care after a hospital visit - now she's fine. Thanks for providing a great place.

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.

Having been in many different homes over the years and both hairdressers and carers this facility beats the lot!

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.
