Our Father sadly passed away on the 5th October this year and it now seems an appropriate time to reflect now that we have laid him to rest. We cannot state how highly we regard the excellent care that he received when he was in the home. All the staff were fantastic throughout his stay, from front of house, nursing staff, all the care assistants, kitchen staff as well as the lovely ladies that did his washing. It would be correct to say that they all took an interest in his wellbeing, and we would when visiting, often find someone in with him having a chat. We managed to celebrate his 94th Birthday, mums 92nd birthday and their 72nd wedding anniversary out in the lovely gardens with sandwiches and a pot of tea. That made it a special place for his last few weeks with us. If you read this review and are thinking of placing a loved one in a home, then Pendean House is whole heartily recommended by us. Thank you for looking after him and the support that you gave us.

Pendean is a beautiful place. The management and staff are kind and professional.

My daughter couldn't have been in a better care home. She loves all the staff who are all so good to her. Her brother passed away in there a year ago, he was a footballer who had head injuries after playing football, his and her father was a cousin of a famous footballer on TV. (He was only 65). I myself love all the staff, they are such lovely people, it's like one big happy family. My daughter is only 65, after having chemo she had a stroke. Thank you for everything.

My aunt stayed at Pendean from 18 August - 18 September 2025 and I cannot speak highly enough of the care she received during this time. From the moment she arrived the staff showed exceptional compassion, treating her with genuine dignity, respect and kindness throughout her stay. The level of care was excellent. It was clear that the team were not highly professional but also so deeply caring. A special thank you to four members of staff whose warmth and attentiveness truly stood out - they made a difficult time much easier for our family and communication with us was consistently good, keeping us informed and involved. The room she stayed in was spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotless. The overall cleanliness and standard of the facilities were of a high standard, creating a calm and reassuring environment. Losing a loved one is never easy, but knowing she was in such capable hands gave us peace of mind. We would whole heartedly recommend Pendean House to anyone looking for compassionate and professional care for their loved ones.

Apart from a temporary lowering of standards caused by the use of an agency cook, nothing could be faulted.

I have found the last month an enjoyable one. Some exceptional staff from carers, to the receptionists, gardener, activities and chef. All of the staff have been great in helping me with what I need and helping me with my recovery too.

The staff have provided a fabulous service and showed great care and consideration in looking after my mother. We needed short-term convalescence support for her following an operation and have felt so reassured by the professionalism of the nursing staff and the ability of the team to give the appropriate care. The manager is always on hand to answer queries and despite it being a very worrying time for us all, she has been both reassuring and helpful in the support available and left us feeling confident that my mother is most certainly in the best place and receiving the best care.

From the moment of enquiry, to the end of my mother's respite stay, I was extremely impressed with all staff and management at Pendean House. The house itself is beautiful, and is well kept and clean to the highest order. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her stay amongst such great, friendly people. First class!!

Very warm welcome. Played bridge with friends. Excellent attention by manager. Very clean, warm and homely.

I have just spent 2 weeks enjoying respite care at Pendean after a shoulder replacement operation. I could not have felt more welcome or cared for. Many of the staff have been working there for years and I find this most re-assuring, meaning that there is a happy atmosphere among the staff and this is transmitted to the patients. As I live very close to Midhurst it has the advantage for me of being close to friends and family, and many of them were able to visit and were also made welcome.

Everyone is amazingly nice. The bath rooms don't have enough space by the sink for women to put all their potions and hair stuff. The grub is very nice! The room is a bit cold. There is music in the dining room which is hard for deaf people. The garden is splendid for walks. Thank you all for being so jolly!

Dad became a resident at Pendean upon being discharged from Hospital in October 2024. He has a beautiful room overlooking the gardens , he is looked after well, and is still there. The team there made us feel very welcome when we visited, and we were even able to organise a family sunday lunch together in the dining room, when several of us came in from overseas. We are so lucky that Dad is comfortable in such a lovely place, and we know we don't have to worry about him quite so much. Thank you to all the team, and i look forward to seeing you (and Dad) again soon.

Dad moved to Pendean in September 2024 and the team have been so welcoming and helped not just Dad settling in but the wrap around care and explanation supporting us, his family, is greatly appreciated too. The activities provided for residents are great and varied and the recent Valentine's lunch was a great success with Mum able to join Dad for lunch too.

For the short time he was a resident, my father received first-class care. Two particular members of staff were so helpful and kind to us with all of the staff making him feel comfortable and welcome. The family would like to thank the night nurse and carers who looked after him at the end.

Beautiful home with the most incredible staff. My dear Mum was only at Pendean for a short time before she lost her fight. The care, love and attention she received was outstanding. Working in care myself, I found it hard to let her go into the hands of others, but they were all incredible.
24 January 2025
I am the wife of an irascible, retired clergyman, whom I was afraid to leave for an operation that had become vital for me. After becoming financially secure (praise be for a charity) and having met the 'guy near the door', leaving my husband for a short while left me happy that he would be cared for as if he were family.
22 January 2025
From the moment I arrived at Pendean, I felt the warmth of a welcome from all the staff. That feeling continues to this day, same 40 days later. Pendean is an amazing place. All my family and friends are so surprised at the attention they get when visiting. It must be one of the very best care homes in the country, and I feel privileged to be here.
22 January 2025
All the staff at Pendean are wonderful: carers, reception, nursing, admin and management have all shown my mum exceptional care, kindness and attentiveness. I particularly appreciate the consistent efforts made to entertain and encourage residents to socialise.

When arriving at Pendean House, immediately felt a warm and welcoming presence by staff for my mother's trail visit. The staff were friendly, reassuring, and catered to her every need. She enjoyed the activities and spoke highly of the food. Thank you, it was reassuring for us to know she was in a safe and caring place.

I am the Charity and Community Coordinator at Seaford College and we regularly visit Pendean Nursing Home with the students to volunteer. We are always made incredibly welcome - everybody is very friendly, and the staff cannot do enough for us. Vicky is always very helpful when arranging visits and the children never want to leave when it's time to go back to school!
