  • Parris Lawn, Lewes
Parris Lawn is located in Ringmer, a pretty village just a few miles from the bustling town of Lewes in East Sussex. With a warm family atmosphere, highly trained staff are available to get to know residents individually offering the highest standards of residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent and short stay basis. They’re only half an hour from the seaside towns of Brighton and Eastbourne, and they enjoy some beautiful views over the South Downs.

Parris Lawn is all about enjoying personalised care in luxurious surroundings. Living here is whatever your loved one wants it to be. They can fill their day with enjoyable activities, fine food and great company. Or if a quieter pace of life is more fitting, they can relax in the privacy of their individually-styled en-suite bedroom, or enjoy the view from the lovely gardens.

Meal times are a chance to get together with friends over a delicious home-cooked meal. The chef learns about your loved one’s unique nutritional needs and preferences and makes sure these are incorporated into the regularly-updated menus. They serve up three tempting meals each day and there’s always a wide choice of dishes, including lighter option, and modified dishes for residents who need a soft, fortified or diabetic diet.

Staff always make sure that people who are being nursed in bed, or who simply prefer one-to-one activities, get the quality time that they deserve, whether it’s reading or doing the day’s crossword.

Our mum has been at Parris Lawn since 2020. In the past two years, we have found this rare home to provide the best all round care for our mum. The staff always go above and beyond and we feel safe in the knowledge she is well cared for and safe. 10/10 to all concerned at the home. You are all amazing,
thank you.

My mother was very reluctant to move into a care home but on arrival at Parris Lawn she flourished. She loved her time at the home and the staff could no be more friendly and accommodating. We wish mum had moved into the home sooner to make more great memories. My mum was cared for to an exceptional
standard, even when on the end of life care. We cannot thank the home enough for what they did for mum.

When my friend entered Parris Lawn from hospital and from home she couldn't eat or drink unaided, had difficulty in communicating, could not move arms or legs or sit unaided. Since then her understanding and communicating has improved. she has more movement in her limbs and she is much more alert. She
has made progress since she has become a resident.

The staff have been thoughtful and helpful throughout these difficult times. I enjoy coming to visit Mum and take her for a walk when I can. Although I have not been able to witness events in person for the last 18 months, it is clear from talking to Mum that she is engaging in and enjoying group activities.
Most importantly, Mum seems happy at Parris Lawn.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister has been in Parris Lawn nursing home since the start of the lockdown in March 2020.
The staff and support team have shown my sister great care during a very difficult time. The wellbeing team especially make a real difference in spending time sitting and chatting with my sister. This has
been even more valuable as we were unable to visit for six months due to the lockdown. The manager of Parris Lawn is very approachable and easy to talk to.

My Mother is so happy and content, it is a joy to see. During lockdown, I get regular photos of her looking lovely and enjoying all sorts of activities despite being wheelchair bound. She loves the cooking, singing, ball games, poetry, music, having tea and cake and chat. She looks forward to the food
which is hotel standard. All the staff go the extra mile and are loving to my Mother, even when they are cleaning the rooms or serving food. Everyone from reception to nurses, activity, catering and domestic staff give a great deal to their job.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Parris Lawn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.955 for Parris Lawn is calculated as follows: ( (490 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.955
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Parris Lawn is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Costin

Costin Matei

Job Title: Home Manager

As Parris Lawn’s Home Manager, I believe care is about providing holistic, person-centred support that respects the dignity and individuality of each person. It involves addressing physical health needs and promoting emotional, social, and mental well-being. Quality care is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to each individual's specific preferences and needs.


My career in nursing began over ten years ago in Romania, where I worked in various healthcare settings.


The rigorous curriculum and hands-on clinical experience provided a solid foundation for my nursing career. After relocating to the UK in 2015, I joined a great team of nurses and senior nurses and developed my skills further before starting as the Deputy Manager for Parris Lawn.


Throughout my career, I have been committed to continuous professional development, ensuring I stay current with best practices and innovations in healthcare.


With a significant portion of that time dedicated to elderly care, it’s provided me with the experience of being able to understand our residents' unique needs and challenges.


Choosing to work with Caring Homes was an easy decision, and it was because of its strong commitment to delivering exceptional care and its reputation for fostering a supportive and positive work environment. The company’s values align with my dedication to providing compassionate, high-quality care and I was particularly impressed by their focus on continuous improvement and innovation in care practices.


My drive to succeed is fueled by a deep passion for making a positive difference in the lives of our residents. Knowing that the care we provide directly impacts their quality of life motivates me to strive for excellence. Additionally, the support and development of my team are crucial; seeing them grow and succeed brings me great satisfaction.


In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family, which helps me stay grounded. I am also passionate about reading, particularly books on leadership and healthcare, as they provide valuable insights and inspiration for my professional life. Additionally, I like to stay active through sports and outdoor activities, which are great for maintaining physical health and well-being.
