Thank you very much! It was a joy to have your mother with us.

The staff went out of their way to organise a special birthday afternoon tea(including an enormous and amazing birthday cake made by the cook) for her, my husband and myself and two extended family members. We are extremely grateful for all they did to make the afternoon special.
Unfortunately, because my mother has vascular dementia, she will not remember much of the event afterwards, but we are very grateful to know just how much thought and effort went into the day.
Nothing ever seems too much trouble for the staff respecting care for my mother, and it is very reassuring to know that she is in extremely safe hands in a lovely Christian environment in these latter years of her life, with her needs and increased limitations.
A very big thank you to the manager and all staff.
It's a joy to be able to serve our residents and their families.
Excellent care home where all residents are treated individually with Christian charity, commitment and professionalism.

A good relationship with everyone at Koinonia. Nothing is too much trouble. Care is outstanding. Access has been difficult due to covid - they have had no covid situations. Perhaps more routine updates of our resident would be preferred. To our mind - a wonderful home!

My parent receives extremely good care and is happy and relaxed in the Home. The staff are very patient and understanding and his general health and well-being have improved considerably since he moved into the Home and stopped living on his own.

Where Koinonia excel is the Christian ethos and atmosphere. There is a great sense of being God's family, substantiated by the love and care given. The home feels a bit 'old fashioned' but seems to suit the present generation of residents. But with a view to future residents, it would be good to give the whole place a facelift. This is not a complaint but a suggestion with a view to the future. Koinonia is a great place.

Mum has been a resident at Koinonia for just over 5 years and her care package has been adapted to accommodate her ongoing frailty and ability. She is very happy to be cared for by the team and feels quite at home. The staff have been very careful throughout the pandemic and have not had any cases of Covid-19. Obviously, my responses are based on history, as I have not visited my Mum in her room since March 2020.
For her stay, we have noted the sensitive care delivered by Koinonia. Staff have been friendly, and helpful and have flexibly accommodated family visits and phone calls. All much appreciated.

We are so glad that the family have been able to remain in contact with the resident through the troubled times.
Very caring and dedicated staff. The only slight problem is sometimes, miscommunication over the information being passed on or details getting forgotten.

I am sorry that you feel that communication can be a problem, we do have e-mails and you have my personal telephone number if you want to contact us this way.
The care shown to the residents is exemplary. All were kept safe during the pandemic with personal sacrifice from the staff.

Thank you for your comments. We are looking to build a new home and this will hopefully give new accommodation for the residents.

Koinonia is a caring environment and has a uniquely Christian ethos. For my mother, who is a life long churchgoer, this brings great comfort and security. The caring approach of the staff is exemplary and all staff know and understand the residents well. Although visiting has been restricted, we had been confident that Mum has been well cared for during this time.
It is so good to hear that you feel the staff have kept upbeat, I can only say that they are working hard to give good care and keep your families safe, thank you.

Although the residents have had their ups and downs having been isolated from their relatives and friends the staff have been very upbeat to keep their spirits up for as long as possible.

We work hard to try and keep a high standard of care for each resident, we are grateful that visitors have excepted our visiting policy so that people can remain in contact.

When I needed to get my friend into the home, the management were really helpful. My friend seems very content. In the face of COVID, I have been able to visit in a cubicle. I have found other homes who have made visiting difficult. I have found the staff able to show friendship and they seem very caring. The fact that my friend is content is a blessing to those who care about her.
The care provided for my mother has been excellent during the years that she has been a resident.

It is difficult to give very concise views about certain aspects of the home, as, since my mother arrived there in July 2020, I have had very limited involvement and access due to the ongoing pandemic. I am however grateful that I have been allowed to make regular, socially-distanced outside visits...
In terms of getting Mum transferred to Koinonia and managing her through the challenges of settling into the new home at a time when she had just been bereaved of her husband, the management and staff have all been excellent. We are very thankful for the attention and understanding given to Mum's various, often challenging mental and physical health needs.
Our main reason for choosing Koinonia was for its strong Christian ethos. It is a real blessing knowing Mum is well cared for both physically and spiritually.
And as a family, we are grateful for the support given to us by the management and staff too, particularly at the time Dad passed away.

Koinonia is a very caring and efficient home and my mother-in-law has been looked after with great care and attention since her arrival in November 2016. Due to the situation with Covid this past year, our contact with her has been very limited but we are very grateful for the efforts to keep the home free of infection and for this, they are to be highly commended. W look forward to renewed visits as the situation eases.
I would recommend this home immensely. It is the best I think in the whole of West and East Sussex. The carers are next to none. The senior staff are exemplary.

Everything they do is for the residents, helping and thoughtful to the extreme. Anything the people want who stay at this home, they have. It's amazing that in this day and age you can get the exemplary care people deserve.
