My husband has been in the home since may having initially gone for respite care only. It took a while for him to settle (and for me to adjust) but he is now extremely settled and well cared for, better than I could at home. The staff, both carers, auxiliary, kitchen etc are all very cheerful and helpful. The carers take the time to get to know the residents and their likes/dislikes etc and the residents are never pressured to do anything they do not want to do. Visiting times are not limited and you are always made to feel welcome. The food is good and always varied. Tea and coffee are readily available, and cake/biscuits. My weekday visits are restricted to evenings so I do not see the activities but get reports from the carers when I visit in the evening or phone. I do feel there could be more activities on memory lane rather than downstairs. I think the laundry service could be improved. Sometimes the cleanliness could be improved, empty cups/plates etc removed from the lounge.

After several months spent in various hospitals, my Dad was so happy to have such a lovely place to call home. He appreciated the beautiful view from his window and established a good rapport with his carers. He told us that he hoped he could stay there until the end of his days. As his family we were made to feel very welcome at whatever time we called to see Dad and encouraged to help ourselves to tea and coffee and homemade biscuits and cake. The rooms are all individually decorated, warm, and well equipped with good quality furniture, and there are several attractive and comfortable lounge areas. Most important of all, the staff are so caring towards the residents and helpful and welcoming to the residents' families. The residents are treated with kindness, patience and dignity.
Overall, I would not hesitate in rating the home as excellent.
I found Hurstwood View to be a safe, caring and supportive environment with good faciltities; a range of activities and approachable, helpful staff.

My father is settling in well. There is no pressure put on him to do anything he doesn't want to, he is always treated with respect and he particularly enjoys the high standard of the food.
Thank you Susan for your glowing referral. So pleased that dad has settled in so well!

I had just over two weeks respite care at my own request, on leaving hospital. All went smoothly thanks to the home's team liaising with the hospital staff. Hartswood met my needs admirably, giving me a relaxed background to convalesce and prepare to return to an independent life. Full support was clearly there if I needed it but I appreciated the "hands off" approach and lack of "regime". The staff were outstanding and I admired their commitment especially to the most needy residents. The surroundings are most agreeable and the building well appointed.

I visited Barchester Hurstwood View last week to see if it was a suitable place for my father who suffers with dementia. Although we have now decided to move my Dad closer to us in Wales, I was very impressed with the ambience and facilities of the home. The Manager was extremely helpful and took time to show us around and explain the day to day care we could expect for Dad. All the staff we met were very pleasant and the few we spoke to seemed very experienced in dementia care, and also very caring and understanding for individual needs. Everywhere in the home looked spotless and the communal lounges looked very welcoming and well thought out. To be honest, I'd put my name down now if I could!
I have marked the options as excellent as I was unable to submit my comments without completing each one, but this is purely based on an hour's visit.
I have found all the staff friendly, cheerful and very helpful. The property is clean and well maintained. My lady has settled far better than every expected. I have been reassured and feel happy that she is having the best care possible.

Hi, my name is Esther, and I am the General Manager here at Hurstwood View.
Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. It inspired me to pursue a career in nursing over a decade ago, and my journey has taken me through India, Nigeria, and now England, where Uckfield has become home.
I joined Hurstwood View as Deputy Manager and am honoured to now serve as General Manager. It is a privilege to lead such a dedicated team, providing compassionate, person-centred care in a warm and welcoming environment where residents and their families feel like part of our extended family.
My door is always open, and you will always be greeted with a smile. Whether you are considering care for a loved one or simply want to learn more about us, we would be delighted to welcome you for a cup of tea/coffee and a slice of our homemade cake

Hi, my name is Mel, and I’m the Deputy Manager here at Hurstwood View.
I have always had a passion for caring for others, which led me to pursue a career in nursing.
I have gained experience across a variety of healthcare settings, including acute hospital care, Respiratory nursing and nursing home management.
Each experience has helped me shape the nurse I am today, and I’m passionate about making a difference to the lives of the people in our care.
I believe that great care is not only about meeting people’s needs, but it’s about sharing a smile and creating a warm, happy environment where residents feel safe, valued and truly at home.

Hello everyone, I am Madhvi Bucktowar, and I joined Barchester in January 2026. I currently work as a Staff nurse at Hurstwood View Care Home. I was born in Mauritius and came to the UK in 2001. I started my career in healthcare as a Care assistant in a residential home. I started working towards my Nursing Qualification in 2005. I studied at the University of Surrey for 3 years and was qualified as a Registered Mental Health Nurse by the end of 2008. Since being qualified, I have worked in different Care Homes looking after elderly people with nursing needs, Learning Disability and people with Dementia. I love my job, and personally I don’t think any other job would have given me such a great sense of satisfaction by providing care and support to the people who really need it.
In my spare time, I do a little bit of gardening, grow vegetables, and I like cooking/baking or simply watching horror movies. I have a great team to work with and hope that I will be part of the Barchester family for a long time.

Hello, my name is Ellie, and I am proud to be a Care Practitioner at Hurstwood View.
I joined the setting in January 2024 as a Care Assistant from a background of supporting adults with learning disabilities. I quickly progressed with the support of the home to Senior Care Assistant. Whilst my role was fulfilling, I have a love for learning and progression which has been recognised and supported by the leadership of the home. I now proudly hold the position of Care Practitioner.
I feel I am a valued member of the team, work closely with my colleagues and have recently been appointed as Speak Up Champion and Dementia Champion; this opportunity will enable me, moving forward, to deepen my knowledge and offer outstanding care to the residents.
I am diligent and rigorous in the care that I give our residents and believe that through my practice they are treated with dignity and respect at all times. I maintain positive and respectful relationships with families and other healthcare professionals and deem this as fundamental in the experiences that residents receive at Barchester.
Outside of my working role, I thoroughly enjoy spending time at the farm with my partner, camping, country music, walking my dog and spending time with our families!

Hi, my name is Zoe, and I have worked at Hurstwood View since 2013.
I started my career in the kitchen department, then changed into a care assistant role. I have gradually worked my way up, and I am now a Care Practitioner at Hurstwood View Care Home. I love working on Memory Lane and supporting our residents who are living with dementia. In my role, I take responsibility for ensuring that all our residents' needs are met in the most suitable way for them. We take pride in person-centred care, and we value each resident's differences. I always ensure that the staff working within the Memory Lane community are up to date with any recent changes, and I also ensure that relatives are kept up to date with their loved ones' ever-changing needs.
At Hurstwood View, we have a great team ethic, and the staff feel more like a big family rather than colleagues.
