Very happy.
Many thanks for a positive review. It is always good to hear that we do a great job in looking after your husband and that he is happy at Earlsfield court. All the staff will be happy to have such lovely feedback on his care and experience with us.
The home lives up to its luxury claims. My family and friend say it is like visiting an expensive hotel. The team here at Earlsfield are a class above other care homes. They understand and take care of the individual needs of residents. They make you feel safe and nothing is too much trouble. The quality of the food is very high, always well presented so eating is a pleasure. The chefs are always willing to serve up any special requests. Visitors are treated to coffee and cake and you can even arrange a dining experience for them. My stay at Earlsfield has allowed me to rebuild my strength both physically and mentally. I would not hesitate to recommend Earlsfield to families looking for a care home or to their loved ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review, the team will really appreciate your positive feedback.
I have been impressed with the care and attention to detail! My mother-in-law has settled in well and feels valued.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review for us. We very much appreciate your time and kind words.
Earlsfield Court is excellent in every department except food. This is often due to poor preparation and serving. Hot meals sometimes arrive at the table just warm. There are too many 'foreign dishes' for residents in age groups 80/90 who would prefer a more 'English' diet. Apart from the food I am very happy here.
Thank you so much, Reg for taking the time to write this lovely review, and thank you for sharing your wonderful views about your experience with us as a resident in Earlsfield Court. Regarding your feedback on our menu choices I have spoken to the chef, we do use a heat probe on all the food when...
Very good, very well looked after.
Thank you so much for your kind words and so pleased you feel this way.
The staff are extremely efficient and friendly. They will do their best to make one's stay a happy experience. Always looking for different activities to stimulate the patient.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased you love it here.
Wonderful staff, so caring, but they get things done.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased you are happy with the care here at Earlsfield.
I have very good reason to be grateful for Earlsfield taking in, at very short notice, my sister and brother in law who were turned away at the very last minute by another care home in Bexhill which had already accepted them but then raised a technicality about an EpiPen which they were unable to resolve. Since the couple moved into Earlsfield they (and I) have had nothing but praise for the staff, the facilities, the standard of management and care, and the food. I have had experience of many homes in the area, but I have never come across one as good as Earlsfield.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review for us. We very much appreciate your time and kind words.
My great aunt had a four-week respite stay at Earlsfield Court and we can not recommend it enough. Thank you to all the lovely staff at the home, obviously the caregivers but also the chefs and office staff who always went above and beyond. The whole process was made very easy and the communication between us and the home was great. My relative felt well looked after and said she is glad to know that there is somewhere she will be happy to move into if she had to make a permanent move into a care home.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this wonderful review. It is very much appreciated and we all enjoyed having your great aunt stay with us for respite.
To the Home Admissions Advisor, in case we do not get to see you in person and all of the amazing staff, we would like to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation, to you all, for everything you have done over the past two weeks. The attention to the resident's needs, the care given and the patience shown, most of all, the understanding by the staff of his condition has been utterly superb, and for that again, we thank you all so very, very much!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this wonderful and kind review. We appreciate you were unable to comment on the community activities as dad was isolated and shielding in his room for the two weeks respite but so happy that we kept his spirits up with all our team visits and activities in his room. He was adored by everyone!
Mum received 5-star treatment.
The home are very careful to follow COVID rules to keep everyone safe but following procedures, I was able to visit. On mum's birthday, the chef made a wonderful cake and the staff put up an individually painted birthday banner. We sat in the pretty garden and admired the flowers. Mum had a great birthday.
Thank you so much to everyone at Earlsfield Court, who made Mum's stay lovely. She is now very well rested.
Thank you so much Sarah for taking the time to write this wonderful review, we loved having your mum stay with us.
My Mother-in-Law recently moved into Earlsfield during these very trying times. The management of the home were very helpful and understanding in helping us to prepare her room before her arrival so that it felt as much like home as possible, arranging for personal pictures to be hung on the walls and personal items to be displayed in the room. Due to Coronavirus regulations, my Mother-in-Law had to undergo 2 weeks quarantine but the home were fabulous in giving extra special care during this period and allowing us socially distanced visiting to keep her spirits up. Since completing her quarantine, my Mother-in-Law has been enjoying meeting her fellow residents, exploring the five-star facilities within the Home and continues to be cared for to a very high, loving standard. We are delighted we have been able to move her to Earlsfield and she is already reaping the rewards of being a resident there.
Thank you so much Alan for taking the time to write this review. It is very much appreciated.
Mum was a resident at another care home when she and I felt it was time for a change. Moving is always stressful at the best of times, but I cannot speak highly enough of the great help and care plan set up for Mum's move and quarantine period during an extremely difficult and challenging time. The staff are incredibly supportive of both me and Mum's wishes and try to accommodate them as soon as possible, whether it is a food request, a small maintenance issue, or a simple question. There is humour and genuine care given, with a hug too if needed and any queries I have are answered promptly. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished with true 5-star quality and the cinema room is fabulous. Mum said she felt like she had been on an outing when watching a film there. There is a restful feel to the landscaped gardens and the setting is tranquil. We have enjoyed afternoon tea there together.
Thank you so much Alison for taking the time to write this lovely thoughtful review - it is very much appreciated.
Dad loves it here - he keeps telling all his friends and family we must all come here "when our time comes"! He is receiving excellent care, and we can't thank and praise the staff highly enough. It has taken a huge weight off our minds knowing he is being so well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. Your dad is much loved and we are delighted he has decided to stay on with us following his respite stay. Thank you again.
I visit a lot of care homes with my job and there is nowhere quite like Earlsfield Court. From the warmest welcome on arrival, the luxurious surroundings, the friendliest staff (from the manager to the maintenance staff) and the wonderful carers, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Earlsfield Court.
Thank you so much, for taking the time to submit this lovely review for us. We really appreciate your time.
Earlsfield is a beautiful home, the environment, from the internal to external space is lovely. The staff are all so friendly and really care for their residents. I would not hesitate to recommend this home.
Thank you so much, Jane, for taking the time to do this wonderful review. We really appreciate your time.
Would totally recommend anyone to stay here, although a little on the expensive side.
The cleanliness is very good and the food is also very good.
Thank you so much, Sandra, for taking the time to write this review, it is very much appreciated.
We were and are so impressed with the facilities, the fabulous food and the dedicated care and admin staff who have been so reassuring during this time when we need to know mum will be and is safe and cared for.
Thank you so much, Christine, for this lovely review. We really appreciate the time you have taken to write this.
We met all the staff that would be looking after mum over tea and cake many times and viewed the home on several occasions to select the correct room. We were also invited to have lunch to try the food, which is exceptional.
The home is just beautiful, the bedrooms are designed to make you feel relaxed and calm, all with en-suite shower rooms.
The love and care our very precious mum has been shown whilst she has been in Earlsfield, is exemplary. Nothing has been too much trouble for Mum or us.
We can't visit Mum at the moment, but are updated with photos, an app and can call anytime to speak to Mum or a carer for peace of mind at this very difficult time.
Top-notch!
Thank you so much Trish for this wonderful review. We really appreciate the time you have taken to write this.
I am extremely pleased with the care and attention my mother receives at Earlsfield Court. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and I am always made very welcome when I visit.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this lovely review.

Meet the Team (7)

As General Manager at Earlsfield, my priority is to ensure that every resident receives the highest standard of care in a safe, welcoming, and truly homely environment. I oversee all aspects of the home—from care delivery and staffing to operational and financial management—with one clear focus: ensuring residents live happy, fulfilled lives with dignity and respect.
I am passionate about building a supportive, compassionate team that genuinely cares for every individual who lives here. I believe that families should feel confident and reassured when they choose Earlsfield, knowing that their loved ones are not only well looked after, but truly valued.
My Experience:With over four decades of experience in Health and Social Care, I bring both clinical expertise and leadership to my role. I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1981 and have dedicated my career to the care of older people—working as a ward sister in the NHS, a university lecturer specialising in gerontology, and later as Deputy Chief Nurse in an Acute NHS Trust. I also held the position of Professional Head of Nursing in a Mental Health Trust.
Since moving into the independent care sector, I have spent the past 14 years as a CQC Registered Manager, continuing my lifelong commitment to delivering exceptional care for older people.
A Little About Me:Outside of work, I’ve been happily married for 45 years and have grown-up children who keep me proud. My hobbies are varied—from baking, pickling, and reading to writing poetry, gaming on my Xbox, and immersing myself in sci-fi and fantasy worlds (Star Wars included!).
There’s never enough time in the day—but I always make time for what matters most: the people I care for, and the families who trust us.

As Deputy Manager at Earlsfield Court Care Home, my role is to support the smooth daily running of the home and ensure every resident receives the highest standard of care, dignity, and respect. I work closely with our compassionate care team to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where residents feel truly valued and at home. Whether I’m reviewing care plans, supporting families through transitions, or mentoring staff, my focus is always on delivering person-centred care. I love interacting with both residents and their families, and I’m passionate about improving the quality of life for those we look after, treating every individual as I would my own loved ones.
My Experience:I have always worked in care and bring a practical and supernumerary background to my role. In 2007, I achieved my MSc in Physiotherapy, which complements my hands-on experience in a residential setting. I also hold a Level 3 qualification in Dementia Care Practice, along with a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care. This combination of education and real-world experience allows me to lead with both knowledge and empathy, ensuring the highest standards of care for your loved one.
I love innovation and technology in care.
About Me:Outside of work, I enjoy cycling and mountaineering, with a dream of one day visiting the beautiful region of Kathmandu. I’m married, and a proud father of two, and I bring the same values I hold dear at home into my professional life. At Earlsfield Court, we understand that choosing a care home is a big decision. Please be reassured that we are here to offer not only expert care but also genuine compassion, kindness, and support every step of the way.

As Home Admissions Advisor at Earlsfield Court, I’m here to support you and your loved one every step of the way when considering a move into care. I understand how emotional and overwhelming this decision can feel, and I aim to make the process as smooth, informative, and reassuring as possible.
From your first enquiry through to move-in day and beyond, I’m here to provide clear information, compassionate guidance, and a listening ear—ensuring you always feel supported and confident in the choices you're making.
I genuinely believe that what makes Earlsfield Court so special is the people who live there. The care team here is exceptional, and it’s a privilege to see, every day, the positive difference they make in the lives of our residents. This truly is a place where individuals are cared for with dignity, kindness, and respect—and where families can feel peace of mind.
My Experience:I’ve worked in the care sector for several years, most recently in Eastbourne with another care provider. Before that, I spent over 15 years in hospitality and independent living—always in roles where providing excellent service and supporting people has been at the heart of what I do.
This background has given me a strong foundation in understanding what families need and value during life’s important transitions.
A Little About Me:Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. I believe in the importance of strong relationships—both in and out of the workplace—and feel incredibly proud to be part of a care home that feels like a true community.

My role is to warmly welcome new residents and their families to Earlsfield Court, supporting them through what can often be a significant and emotional decision. I’m here to offer guidance and reassurance, making the transition into care as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What makes Earlsfield Court special is more than just the building itself—it’s the people. Our home has a genuine family feel, with a team of compassionate staff, freshly prepared meals, and a vibrant lifestyle programme, including regular minibus outings and daily activities. There's always something going on here, and it’s a joy to see our residents smiling, thriving, and making new memories every day.
My Experience:With over 27 years of experience in Sales and Marketing, including 18 years in the care sector, I bring both professional knowledge and heartfelt passion to my role. I’ve supported several luxury care homes throughout my career, helping families find the right environment for their loved ones.
I also previously ran my own home help and care consultancy service, which gave me first-hand insight into the daily needs and preferences of older adults. That experience has deeply shaped how I approach my work today—with empathy, attentiveness, and a real understanding of what matters most to families.
A Little About Me:Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active by going to the gym, spending quality time with friends and family, and walking along the seafront with my dog, Bobby. I love good food, live music, and making the most of life’s little pleasures—something I’m always happy to share in conversations with residents and families alike.

I joined Earlsfield Court in April 2020 as a recruitment administrator and went on to become the home administrator. I took a year out to spend more time with my son, and I am lucky enough to have been able to return to Earlsfield Court. My role is very varied; no two days are the same, and I really enjoy the variety of the role. My favourite part is building relationships with our residents and their relatives; I love hearing about people’s history.
My Experience:Before joining Cinnamon Care Collection, I spent 10 years working for a builder’s merchant, 8 of those in Accounts and 2 years as an HR officer. I studied HR at college and gained my level 3 CIPD qualification. I also studied and passed my bookkeeping level 2 and AAT computerised accounting.
About Me:When I’m not at work, my time is devoted to my husband and our 3-year-old son. We often go out exploring.

As the Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator at Earlsfield Court, my role is all about enriching the lives of our residents. I plan and deliver a wide variety of meaningful activities every day—designed not only to encourage movement and mental stimulation but also to spark joy, promote social connection, and nurture emotional well-being. Whether it’s a group event or a quiet one-on-one moment, every activity is tailored to help our residents feel valued, engaged, and at home.
My Experience:I bring years of experience in hospitality, where I developed a deep understanding of people and a passion for creating memorable experiences. More recently, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Activities Coordinator here at Earlsfield Court, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to help our residents live each day with purpose, laughter, and companionship.
A Bit About Me:I’m a proud mum of three and a grandmother to three wonderful grandchildren. Family means everything to me, and I carry that same care and warmth into my work every single day. It’s an honour to be part of a team that treats every resident like family.

As Head Chef at Earlsfield Court Care Home, I’m responsible for creating nutritious, delicious meals that not only meet the dietary needs of our residents but also bring them comfort, enjoyment, and a sense of home. I work closely with our care team to ensure that every dish is tailored to individual preferences, allergies, and medical requirements. Mealtimes are a key part of daily life here, and I take pride in making them something our residents can look forward to—full of flavour, familiarity, and joy. For me, food is more than just nourishment—it’s a vital part of caring for your loved one’s wellbeing.
