  • St Peter's Park Retirement Village, Bexhill-on-Sea
St Peter’s Park Retirement Village (formerly known as Peterhouse Care and Nursing Home), is a real home-from-home in the East Sussex seaside town of Bexhill. The experienced staff provide high-quality, affordable nursing, residential, dementia, end of life, respite and convalescence care.

There really is something for everyone, to suit a range of different needs and tastes on the beautiful site. The lounges, dining rooms and residents’ bar mean there’s plenty of space for group activities. If you want some company, there’s always someone to talk to and to have a coffee with in the lounge. There are also plenty of quieter spots of you want to spend some time by yourself.

The care wing has bedrooms on the ground floor and the first floor. Ground floor rooms have direct access to the garden or courtyard. The first floor is fully accessible, by stairs or a lift.

Some rooms have en-suites. The rooms without en-suites have accessible toilets within easy reach.

The bedrooms are a blank canvas for residents to personalise with their own photos, pictures and furniture. Personal possessions help residents feel at home and provide extra stimulation and time for reminiscence. They also give staff an important understanding of a resident’s history and what’s important to them.

Unusually for a care home, all the bedrooms in the care wing have their own outside space, whether that’s a balcony or a terrace. There’s room for pots, a table and chairs.

A big thank you to all the amazing staff at St Peter's. You have made the move for one's parents into care as stress-free as possible. You have welcomed them and made them feel at home and cared for. Whenever we pop in, it feels like a happy, homely place, and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff
are so helpful. Dad is always telling us how amazing it is, and he is so happy there.

We cannot speak highly enough of all of the staff and management at St Peter’s Park. Unfortunately, my dad only experienced their amazing care, love and professionalism for a month before he sadly passed away. However, in those 4-weeks, he was cared for and loved like he was part of their family. We
felt Dad was safe and looked after to the highest standard of care you couldn’t ever imagine. We cannot express our thanks enough to the management and all of the staff. The genuine kindness and care went above and beyond anything we expected - thank you all, we are eternally grateful.
Reply from Lisa Turner, Home Manager at St Peter's Park Retirement Village
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that you felt your dad was safe and well looked after. Your dad was an amazing character and will be missed as part of our family.

The home is very welcoming from the moment you arrive. The staff at reception greet you as friends, and the home is very clean and lovely. The staff looking after Dad; treat him like he is part of their family. Nothing is too much trouble. He is treated with great care and attention. The grounds are
beautifully kept. Everything about the home could not be better, and I am so glad that Dad is there and feels like he is at home.

My nan needed to come into care during the pandemic, the manager was very accommodating and we were able to get a ground floor room with a balcony so I could see my Nan from the outside. As time has moved on, my nan has moved into the dementia wing and we have been allowed in to visit. The staff are
all so kind and caring and I can see that my nan is well looked after and much more relaxed.

I have found the staff, manager and receptionist helpful, welcoming and polite. My nan recently moved into St Peter's Park, which was obviously stressful for my nan, but she has now settled in extremely well and is really happy here. This is due to the professionalism and caring nature of all the staff
and manager.

My mum has recently moved into this home and has really settled well due to the friendly, caring and professional staff.

Review from G H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
St Peter’s Park offers care specific to the individual. My mother has items of her own furniture in her room and several of her favourite pictures have been hung up on the wall, so she has a certain amount of familiarity in her surroundings, which is a comfort. The staff are very caring and listen to
what she says.
They helped to celebrate her recent birthday, decorating her room with birthday banners, giving her a well-chosen birthday card and producing a birthday cake (with a candle), baked in St Peter’s Park kitchen. The date did not pass unnoticed that day!
In the short time, my mother has been there, she has been involved in craft activities, gone on an outing to the Christmas tree farm and been accompanied on a short walk around the grounds of the church next door, with the aid of her wheeled walking frame, which she enjoyed.
Owing to Covid regulations, it is not really possible to see how the residents live day-to-day, but we can video-call or have limited Covid-secure visits.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for St Peter's Park Retirement Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.798 for St Peter's Park Retirement Village is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 193 Ratings = 4.798
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Peter's Park Retirement Village is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

A quote from Lisa "St Peter’s Park is unlike other retirement villages or care homes. There’s a different atmosphere here, with a really interesting and stimulating mix of residents, right across the care home and independent living flats and cottages. I’d recommend coming to visit to see for yourself what it’s like."
