Although there were a few room cleanliness issues, these were rectified. The care my father had was first class - honest, reliable and professional.

The transition to Bowes House has been made very easy by the lovely staff. Putting Dad into care was an extremely difficult decision but the Customer Relations Manager and the care staff have been so supportive and we feel Dad is well looked after.

Very impressed with the staff - they are all so friendly and have a lot of time for the residents. They clearly love their jobs and care about the work they do.

Apart from the lack of urgency from the plumbers regarding repairs/hygiene I have no complaints what so ever rather the reverse.

Mum's complaint, eating too much!
Kind and caring staff.
We are very happy with the care dad receives. Any concerns we have are dealt with rapidly by management staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Our experience and transfer getting my dad from hospital to Bowes House was absolutely brilliant. The staff did a fantastic job - liaising with the staff in hospital and us (the family) - super, super efficient!

Staff were extremely helpful when arranging for my ex-husband to be transferred from hospital to be nearer to his immediate family in Hailsham. Without their guidance and help I honestly don't think we would have been able to get him transferred.

In every aspect, I rate Bowes House "excellent". The building is light, airy and warm. The staff caring, welcoming and warm with sufficient time to ensure the well-being of all residents. Food and drink isn't "institutional", ample in quantity of good quality with variety/choices to cater for all diets. Planned activities ensure residents maintain interests, are participating and encourage enjoyment.
Mums care is very good. I no longer have to worry about her well-being.

Mum has been at Bowes House for 6 months in the dementia unit and is very happy there. The staff on the dementia unit are wonderful - unfailingly kind and upbeat and professional. Mum always looks amazing as they take care to choose her most glamorous clothes with her and are always trying out different approaches to make her happy - favourite foods, drinks and music. She is more content there than I have seen her since this dementia journey started 5 years ago and loves all the staff - her face lights up when she sees them and they seem to get equal pleasure in seeing her. I know that she is very well looked after and I can trust the staff and the home to care for her to the highest possible standard. Mum has a lovely room overlooking the courtyard and enjoys watching the birds and the clouds and equally enjoys being in the main dining room where there is a lovely atmosphere and always something going on.
The staff are cheerful and kind. My wife is being well looked after and is very comfortable at Bowes House. I spend a lot of time visiting my wife and the team have made me feel very welcome. I am very pleased with the care my wife is receiving.

I am a highly experienced Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife, qualified in India in 1993, with over three decades of diverse clinical and leadership experience across India, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom.
In 2015, a deeply personal experience - caring for my mother during her battle with cancer - became a turning point in my career. Following her passing, I chose to transition from hospital-based care into the nursing home sector, wanting to improve the quality of life for older people. Over the past 11 years, I have worked as a Home Manager and Peripatetic Manager across groups of nursing homes, specialising in complex care including brain injuries, learning disabilities, and dementia.
I remain deeply passionate about elderly care, taking pride in providing personalised support. Each day, I value having meaningful engagement with residents, especially those without regular visitors, and I believe in maintaining dignity, compassion, and respect in every interaction.
