Review from Wendy Georgina T (Wife of Resident) published on 24 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am the wife of an irascible, retired clergyman, whom I was afraid to leave for an operation that had become vital for me. After becoming financially secure (praise be for a charity) and having met the 'guy near the door', leaving my husband for a short while left me happy that he would be cared for as if he were family.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It is great that you felt so happy to leave your husband with us for a short stay knowing we would care for him as family. Thank you for choosing Pendean House care home for your stay.

From the moment I arrived at Pendean, I felt the warmth of a welcome from all the staff. That feeling continues to this day, same 40 days later.
Pendean is an amazing place. All my family and friends are so surprised at the attention they get when visiting.

It must be one of the very best care homes in the country, and I feel privileged to be here.

When arriving at Pendean House, immediately felt a warm and welcoming presence by staff for my mother's trail visit. The staff were friendly, reassuring, and catered to her every need. She enjoyed the activities and spoke highly of the food.

Thank you, it was reassuring for us to know she was in a safe and caring place.

I am the Charity and Community Coordinator at Seaford College and we regularly visit Pendean Nursing Home with the students to volunteer.
We are always made incredibly welcome - everybody is very friendly, and the staff cannot do enough for us.

Vicky is always very helpful when arranging visits and the children never want to leave when it's time to go back to school!

Review from Sarah-Jane T (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I would like to express my immense gratitude to all the staff that welcomed and cared for my dearest mother during her last weeks at Pendean House. The experienced nurses and cares ensured she was kept comfortable and pain-free - being treated constantly with dignity, patience, and compassion. The housekeepers carried out their duties in her room with gentle and timely consideration. Personally, all staff made me feel part of my mother's care and the reception and kitchen staff made me feel so welcome and cared for too from the outset. Finally, I'll be eternally grateful for the care given by the 3-night staff who were with her at the peaceful end of her life.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Pendean House Care Home

Review from R P (Respite Resident) published on 19 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Pendean is an excellent house and I am more than pleased to have found it. I can give it good or excellent in the ratings below. In particular I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help. I was given a choice of rooms and got the one that most suited my needs. I came in for a fortnight to recuperate after surgery and I very much recommend everyone in the same position to do the same. Whether it is for a long or a short stay, Pendean goes to the top of the list and deserves serious consideration.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is wonderful to hear that you had a comfortable and beneficial experience at Pendean House Care Home.

We arrived intending to take my aunt to the pub for lunch but she preferred to stay in her room and ordered sandwiches for us, plus some wine! All done with good humour and consideration. The staff who attended to my aunt were all friendly and appeared to be pleased to help. The room was clean and tidy and the garden outside her room was very pleasant and colourful.

Review from Cherie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum has been living a happy contented life, knitting, gardening and seeing he friends, but as she got older she became fearful of things she didn't understand, especially modern technology, and it was clear she needed help.
Although the move to Pendean was a huge step she accepted that this would be her life now and from the moment she met your receptionist she fell in love with his happy enthusiasm for life and began to feel safe again. She joined in with the games and quizzes, enjoyed the entertainment and liked to sit knitting in the garden room.
Unfortunately, Mum fell and broke her hip which meant she had to be hospitalised and she sadly died the day after the operation from complications. The only regret is that she didn't make it back to Pendean for her final days among the staff she felt were her friends.

I thank every one of the staff there for giving my mum a final burst of happiness.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Pendean House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are really sorry to hear of your loss, but it's reassuring to hear that whilst your mum was in our care, she made friends and was able to enjoy our home and activities that gave her a new lease of life. We hope you can find comfort in knowing your mum received the best possible care and we will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

Pendean House is in a lovely setting on the edge of a local town, with a wonderful garden. The staff there are very friendly and caring, and we felt our mum was well looked after. The receptionist was particularly helpful and supportive and was instrumental in us making the decision to move our mum into the home.

I was very happy with it.
We had a particularly good activities coordinator, the catering was very good. Perhaps I would say that the desserts were a bit too sweet but this is a completely subjective point of view.

It was nice we were offered a choice of what we ate.

Review from Sheila R (Respite Resident) published on 3 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I came to stay at Pendean House after a period of 10 days in the hospital. It was a refreshing change. My stay at Pendean House coincided with my 90th birthday and I was treated to a tea party to which my two sons and six grandchildren were made welcome in the lounge and we enjoyed birthday cake together with the staff looking after us. That leaves me with happy memories.

Review from Bob B (Son of Resident) published on 29 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Read the small print on your contract, written on behalf of my 90-year-old Mother.

My Father died in Pendean at 02:00am on the 29th January, the funeral director had collected him that same morning and I emptied the room of all his belongings at lunchtime. On the 3rd of February, the full charge for February (over £6000) was taken from my mother's account by direct debit. Two weeks later this money had still not been refunded and is the subject of a formal complaint. In the contract, BUPA stipulates that they will charge three days 'full nursing care' not just for the room following the death of a patient. However, we felt confident that we would receive a full refund for February as January has 31 days and our January payment had been paid in advance. But no this was not the case and the final refund is in dispute. This is not a home that I would recommend for end-of-life care, we only wish we could have moved Dad to a hospice earlier.

My father has been a resident at Pendean House for 9 months.
I cannot speak highly enough about the care he has received.
The staff are always welcoming and friendly. My father is always immaculately dressed and his room is clean and comfortable.
Every effort was made to help him to settle and he is now very happy.
He enjoys the activities and reports that the food is excellent.

My father really couldn't be cared for in a better place.

My husband does not choose to take advantage of activities. I do understand they are available and more planned. I chose Pendean because it was clean and fresh, attractive rooms and dining.
I ticked satisfactory for food as it appears to fluctuate.
The staff are kind and friendly. Some exceptional in their care and understanding.

The manager and the receptionist work very hard to make Pendean a friendly, kind place to live for those who need support.

Amanda TerryJob Title:Senior Care AssistantJoined: 2010

I am a Senior Care Assistant at Pendean House as well as an Engagement Champion and Fire Trainer.

When my dad died from cancer his care wasn't the best. I started working with a home care agency and later came to Pendean in the hope I could make a difference in people's lives.

What I love most about working at a care home is that every day is different and I have the privilege of assisting our elderly residents in their day-to-day life at Pendean House.

Outside of work, I am mum to 5 amazing children and I am slightly animal crazy! My dream is to swim with pigs in the Bahamas!
