My mum has been a resident at Skylarks for over five years. In that time, we have been very pleased with the quality of care provided and in particular the exceptional dedication of the staff in looking after Mum. It is so comforting to know that Mum is being so well looked after. During COVID, the staff were outstanding in maintaining procedures to keep residents safe. Most recently, the home has ramped up the activities and a particular highlight for Mum was a trip to M&S in Shoreham in the minibus. Last month, Mum celebrated her 90th and the staff were amazing in making it such a memorable experience for Mum and the family.
Hi Michael, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. Your Mum is an absolute pleasure to care for. Many thanks the Care UK team
Skylark has a homely feel considering its size, allowing my mum to settle into care very quickly. The staff are always friendly and have time for a quick chat. The food is great. The coffee shop means visits are relaxed and comfortable for mum's friends which she particularly enjoys.

When I visit my friend at Skylark she always looks really happy. I stayed for lunch and the food was lovely. Once I visited and they had an Elvis lookalike singing which was really entertaining. It’s nice to know she is safe and well looked after.

My mum is a resident of Skylark since March 2022. I'm visiting her at least once a week and I can honestly say Skylark is a perfect care home. Mum is very well looked after, she always looks lovely, she's engaging in activities, she's going out, she's active, she made friends with other residents and has great relationship with all staff. Mum says that food is delicious too, I joined for dinner on a few occasions and it's true. It was good to see the chef was present at meal times, serving food and chatting to residents. For years I have been involved in Mum's care so I am very grateful I'm getting weekly updates from Team Leader about Mum. They always ask if I'm happy with everything and send me care plan to go through. I feel I have my say. From the very first day Skylark has been nothing but amazing with me and my family. All staff are friendly and I always feel welcome (love the coffee shop and homemade cakes!). The manager is always around and she's very supportive and hands-on.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. Thank you for your time. Many thanks, the Care UK team.

My mother became a resident in October 23. All the staff are exceptionally caring and kind and always have time to discuss her care. They have made both my mother and our family feel so welcome. There are daily activities for her to join in with, and the staff actively encourage her to feel independent and take her out in the minibus. She plays Scrabble, bakes and goes out walking with the wonderful activities team - there are lots organised. The coffee shop area is fantastic for sitting with her visitors, and the gardens are lovely too. We were recommended Skylarks by lots of friends and are more than happy with the care it has provided
Many thanks, the Care UK team.
Very friendly and caring staff. Always spotless everywhere. Beautiful gardens. Lovely care home.

I would give Skylark six stars if I could. They look after my husband very well and spoil him- he enjoys the activities and the cake. Thank you. After several stays in the hospital, it is a relief that he is safe and his care is always delivered with a smile.

Skylark House care home welcomed my mother-in-law to their care in a most caring and professional way. The staff are caring and treat her as an individual, and meet her needs at all times. Due to her dementia, she can at times, be challenging; however, the staff spend time with patients to ensure she has her care needs met. The food has been adjusted to her changing needs - she could choose from the menu; however, she is now provided with puree food, which is well presented and fed to her by staff.

The room is not clean. Residents are just left looking at the TV with no facilities or drinks. Overall, insufficient staff and quality have deteriorated. There is very little care given now, and on my last visit, there was the smell of wee in the whole area. It was very good but has now deteriorated by some unbelievable amount. Staff are more interested in their computers than the residents.

I have found the staff very friendly and accommodating. The building is light, airy, bright and pleasant to be in. The staff try hard to make everyone's day pass as well as it can under the circumstances, and they provide many varied activities.

All in all, I really enjoy visiting and never think "I wish I was in a different place!. If he has to be in care - which he does - this is the very best place.
I am going away...
I am going away soon and can do so confident that my husband has the best of care at Skylark.
I really like living here. The gardens are excellent. I enjoy a daily walk, and the food is just perfect.

I came to Skylark in March 2022. I'm very happy here. Nurses and carers are lovely. Always happy to help, and nothing is too much to ask for. Activity girls are doing their best. I would love to stay here forever.
