Summerlands

The care my mother receives is exceptional. I would be very happy to end my days in this lovely care home, and am so relieved that my mother is in the best place.

My sister and I reviewed the care home options in Haywards Heath and chose Summerlands and continue to be happy with the care facilities. My mother is happy and eating better, a balanced diet, enjoys company, spends her days in the day room taking part in the varied social activities. The home is run and managed by caring people, mums room was refurbished before she moved in on 26/10/15. The home is continually being refurbished and a new kitchen is being built to provide a better choice of meals and I believe a new dining room. Social activities excellent including chair exercises, art, flower arranging. A pantomime was held before Christmas, mum took part and sang and family were invited. Outings arranged for residents and care support.

We moved my mother from her home to Summerlands just prior to Christmas. She has been made so welcome as we are whenever we visit. All staff are pleasant, caring and welcoming. The home is clean, meals are excellent and nothing appears to be too much trouble. I would highly recommend Summerlands to anyone looking for a caring environment which feels more like home than an institution.

Mum has just increased her visits to three days a week and this has made a massive difference to her mutual well being. She loves to come to Summerlands and really looks forward to being with other residents and staff and always enjoys the activities and lunch. I would not hesitate to recommend them as I feel mum is completely safe and well cared for. The staff go that extra mile to keep an eye on her especially when I am away. I am very confident with the care mum receives whilst with them.

Summerlands is very friendly place where each person receives the best care. They arrange lots of activities to keep minds and bodies working to the capabilities of the individual. Whenever we visit they always have a a smile and time to talk yo you if you have a problem.

My mother has been given extra care during a difficult few months. All the staff and the owners of the home have been fantastic. I know she is safe and in very good hands at Summerlands.

My mother moved into Summerlands in March 2015, within six weeks she no longer had her home, health or independence, at 91 very hard. All the staff at Summerfield treated her with care, respect and warmth. They took time to listen to her concerns and also to the family. When mum had urgent medical problem and needed to go into hospital they were very prompt. The staff visited her in hospital, and welcomed her home again. The food is excellent and the external facilities such podiatry, hairdresser well organised. All done with a smile.

Very caring, clean, and they keep me informed about my mother, also she is very happy there. The staff also are very helpful.

My mother has been at Summerland for almost a year now and she was made to feel at home straightaway. The management and staff are very helpful and friendly. If you have any concerns they are always willing to help. There have been many events through the year which have been fun and all the family are welcome.

Mum moved in after a deliberation on the 27/8/15. Until this date, mum lived in a detached bungalow in a picturesque village, on the edge of the Cotswold's. It was therefore a massive change for her. The staff from the owners to managers and carers have been excellent from day 1 and mum has settled in really well. She was worried about the food, which has proved not be a problem as she is eating really well and enjoying the variety. She has joined in a few of the activities including art classes and bingo which she has enjoyed. So far, everything is positive and it has been a real weight off our minds knowing mum is safe, being looked after well and happy.

Summerlands is fantastic. It is a caring and understanding facility with ample stimulation and activities. It is obvious to me that the staff have had proper dementia training and are lovely people too. My mum especially loves the food and they go out of their way to accommodate her individual tastes. Wonderful. Thank you.

My mother moved into Summerlands in March 2015, and she has settled very well. The staff are always kind, caring and friendly. They all wish to make residents feel catered and well cared for. The rooms are always clean and the food is excellent (all home cooked). It is not a grand care home but there is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and residents are very well cared for. Families and friends are welcome to visit, and take residents out. All in all, in my view, it is a truly wonderful care home.

My father came to stay at Summerlands for 10 weeks while his wife was taken into hospital following a serious accident. He settled very quickly thanks to the kindness and patience of the wonderful staff. They gave him lots of reassurance which he needed due to his early dementia and the stress he was under. They were also very supportive to us a family. We visited every day and were always made very welcome. My father enjoyed the company of all the staff and other residents. There were activities every day. The staff even put the TV on in the lounge when they knew there was football on! My father particularly enjoyed the freedom of walking round the beautiful gardens. I would not hesitate to recommend Summerlands to anyone - it really feels like home. Every single member of staff (including kitchen and garden staff) were amazing!
