Mum moved in July 2025 and settled in very quickly. Have found the staff very friendly and helpful, it's like a family. Lots of entertainment - singing, crafting etc.
Food excellent staff and spend the time to get to know the residents and their families.
Very happy with the choice made.

I cannot speak highly enough of this care home. The staff are absolutely wonderful and treat my friend with such kindness, patience, and respect. They go above and beyond to ensure they are cared for with real dignity, compassion, and understanding, and it truly shows in the way my friend is
supported every day. The environment is welcoming, calm, and well looked after, and the staff always take the time to make residents feel valued and listened to. Knowing my friend is in such safe, caring hands gives me complete peace of mind.

Dad was in Crest House for two weeks respite care which he and the family greatly appreciated. The staff were caring, kind and helpful with great attention to detail. This made for a very positive experience. Thank you.

Mum has been at Crest House for only a few weeks, but has quickly settled into life in this her first care home. This, no doubt, has been helped by the excellent care & attention of the staff. Mum says the food is excellent and enjoys the activities - she was even having a quick dance this morning!
She loves her room & the views over the channel. Thank you.

We had to place my mum in emergency respite and the manager and deputy were so helpful and supportive. Since then, Mum has become a permanent resident. All the staff are warm and kind, and take an interest. They are respectful at all times and this does make a difference. They make me feel welcome
too and are good at communicating information. The food is home cooked and excellent which has meant Mum's appetite has improved. I would recommend Crest House to others.

The all-round service, care and support for my father has been excellent. I am so happy he is here. The staff are wonderful and I would recommend anyone with an elderly parent needing full time support to consider this home.

A homely environment with caring staff and lovely residents. A friendly, upbeat, but gentle atmosphere. A hotel by the sea with support and thoughtful attention towards the residents. Attention is given to each person's needs and interests. Entertainment is excellent, very organised, clean and tidy
with individual rooms providing the experience of a bedroom of one's own. Residents treated with dignity & respect. Hospitable to visitors.

My father has been in and out on Resbite for a couple of years, and now lives here permanently.
Everyone has always been nothing but helpful and kind, its always been warm, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend for anyone seeing their services.

My mum has been a resident of Crest House for just over 2 years and I couldn't be happier or more confident in the amount of care she gets. She is very disabled, arthritic and suffers from dementia so is very dependent on them. Being a small home there seems to be a level of intimacy - a real homely
family atmosphere about it. The carers are always cheery when I visit, they seem genuinely happy to be there which is quite apparent in the low turnover of staff. The food is fresh and smells amazing.
I am so grateful to each and every one of them

I have left reviews in previous years, all finding Crest House Care Home to be an excellent care home for my 97 year old aunt, who sadly passed away this month, at Crest House. She had been a resident since spring 2019. I just wanted to leave a final review, endorsing my previous praise for the care
home and staff. My aunt could not have been in better hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Crest House as a homely establishment, staffed by kind, professional people, who treated my beloved aunt with dignity and compassion.

The staff at Crest House have been absolutely marvellous! My father became a resident in late January and ever since then he has always said how happy he is there and how well he is looked after. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the staff are always friendly and welcoming when I visit. As well
as this, Crest House is always immaculately kept, the quality of the food is superb, and I'm always seeing that many different activities are arranged to keep everyone active and entertained. I'd have no hesitation in highly recommending Crest House to anyone who is in need of their top-class care and support.

I feel better that my Mum is here. They look after her day and night. The staff are all lovely.

My mother has been residing at Crest House for a few months. I cannot recommend the home enough. The staff are brilliant and the home feels like a home rather than a clinical establishment. I did visit a few and Crest House ticked all my boxes for mym mother's care and welfare.

At my time visiting my friend at Crest House the staff were very kind and helpful. They even seated me and my friend in one of their lovely conservatories where they gave us a cup of tea each and a biscuit or two. My friend always has a hot meal every day, seated in the newly decorated dining room
and can make friends over dinner. My friend has got a very modernised room with a great view overlooking Hastings with the hill tops in the background. Overall I am writing this review because I, and my friend who lives there, are very happy with the level of care that is provided and the friendly staff and management.

Our mum was a resident at Crest House for one year. She unfortunately suffered from dementia, resulting in eating problems and although usually happy, was very stubborn and if she didn't want to do something she wouldn't do it. The care, gentle kindness, support and encouragement were second to
none. She had a lovely ground floor room. She was fully mobile, so able to join in with the daily activities, especially the music and dancing. The thought given to encouraging residents to enjoy the things they like best was, again, second to none. There is a beautiful residential garden across the road, which she spent many hours enjoying. Crest House is a small, homely, loving environment. We, the family, are so grateful Mum was there, especially during the last month of her life, they looked after her so tenderly with love, dedication and expertise and went above and beyond (holding her hand and singing her favourite song to her) and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lovely home.

Words alone can't describe my latest stay here. All the staff were lovely, from the lady manager and her lovely assistant through to all the carers - day and night, not forgetting kitchen staff/carers, and that is what they all do - care. As this was my second visit for respite everyone including
the residents I met last year treated me with love and as if I was a permanent resident. Thank you everyone.

My father is very happy at Crest House. The manager is absolutely wonderful and her team has made my dad feel so well looked after. It's a beautiful clean home, with a great social programme, he is always trying new things, even still life drawing. We were always worrying about his weight, but he
loves the food and the chef has always catered to some of his fussier requests. We couldn't recommend the home more highly.

Very nice.
