  • 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.

Review from Ruth E (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from D L (Resident) published on 19 November 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Referred to this home after a severe fall on my shoulder. Further bad falls while a resident. Rooms and care good to excellent. Most of the carers excellent and the food very good. One or two of the carers tend to ignore contact of resident, which can be infuriating but most of the carers are a delight.
Have been very kind to someone who can be a bit testy on occasions, I am well aware.

Care staff are excellent and residents are treated with dignity.


More activities (MOT's) for the nursing floor are needed, but may be due to staffing levels.

Good, clean care home. Staff are very helpful, polite and always try to include my stepfather in all the activities. The cost of the care is a bit on the steep side.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum moved to Parris Lawn at the beginning of Apri. It was evident after a couple of walks that she was settled as she felt safe and so her sleep pattern improved greatly. She is enjoying the food with a varied menu. Staff always speak and endeavour to answer any queries. She is enjoying the activities
- especially the singing. She always tells others that she is happy here.

Review from Pauline C (Partner of Resident) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This home is trying to do its best for people. I find the staff and management kind and helpful especially as they have a complex and difficult person to deal with in the term of my partner. My partner has always been known to all who know him as a complainer and he at times even describes himself as
such. The home gives the impression of being a hotel when you enter and I and some of my friends who have visited feel it needs perhaps a more homely feel. They do have good meetings for clients and relations which is good. It usually smells clean and fresh. I tell them if it doesn't.

Review from Michael T (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 26 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I do not like being on a corridor where I have to put up with continuous screaming and shouting from people in nearby rooms. My mind is fine and I am confined to my room and chair and like my door open but people with mental problems keep coming into my room, using my toilet, laying on my bed, sitting
in my chair, it's just not good enough. I ask for a banana and croissant only for my breakfast and seldom get what I ask for, I also get food I have not asked for covered in various sauces which I've said I don't like. Most of the staff are nice but there are not enough of them. I am most unhappy.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.958 for Parris Lawn is calculated as follows: ( (461 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.958
  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 41 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 41 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.
