I've first been a respite and now a permanent resident in Ayton House for the last 2 months, and I would like to say I have been very happy here. The food is second to none, and all the staff have been very nice.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Ayton House who have gone above and beyond to support our mother on her dementia journey. They quickly identified how mum likes to be helpful and support this individual need. Also encouraging her to join in the fun activities and entertainment that make her
happy.
During a difficult time supporting Dad in hospital we have known mum was safe and well looked after in a high quality care home .

I have now been a resident for over a year at Ayton House, and am very happy; am given plentiful good food, with cheerful, happy staff (without exception) and made to feel safe and secure, with help there if needed. I am of sound mind, but worn out physically and appreciate the friendliness of all
the staff.
Value for money - not quite at the moment, but I am getting older all the time, and I will still live in Ayton for years to come.

Dad has dementia, and after Mum died, eventually, the time had come to find a care home for him. I looked at 15 in West Sussex, but when I was shown around Ayton House, I knew this was the place for Dad.
The staff are kind and caring, the surroundings are thoughtfully laid out for the residents,
the interior is beautifully decorated, and the food is fantastic. Well done Ayton House.

The whole team are friendly, helpful and caring which helped my Dad to settle in very quickly. There are various activities throughout the day which help everyone to interact and join in which helps to keep all residents stimulated and active. The rooms and communal areas are kept spotless clean and
the decor is tasteful and classy.

My mother has been in a care environment for the past two years and during that time we have tried and tested a few homes and until now been very disappointed with what we have experienced.
Once we decided to move Mum to Ayton house they carried out a full assessment of Mum and confirmed they could
meet her care needs. So many care homes say the same thing but do not deliver. Ayton does!
Mum has been at Ayton now for two months and nothing seems to phase staff members. They are all so caring including the receptionist and cleaning staff. My mum can be challenging at times and a bit of a handful but the staff see through this and still deliver the care Mum needs.
All staff seem to be fully trained and employed by the care home. The lack of agency workers can only be a good thing and just shows that Ayton is a great employer and look after their staff.
Its a fresh, modern, caring facility which is a breath of fresh air for us as a family.

I am very impressed with the quality of care provided at this home. The staff are always happy, friendly, and attentive, and it's clear they truly care about the residents. The food is consistently good, with plenty of choice and well-cooked meals. The environment feels safe, comfortable, and
homely. I would definitely recommend this care home to others.

We have just moved my mother to Ayton House from another care home because of her blindness. Complete sight loss requires specialist care which Ayton House has offered her from the moment she stepped through the door. We are not local and need to know that she is cared for sympathetically, loved
like a family member and included in as much as possible due to the isolation of her blindness.
Ayton House staff and management have been honest, professional, friendly and so approachable, we are so relieved to have found you. We love every visit to see mum in this gorgeous new care home. Thank you.

I have never been treated with such care and friendliness. I loved being there from the moment I arrived until I left. I'm happy to go back any time and will certainly do so for some of the activities. Everyone was marvellous. I was a bit nervous about having to go there permanently, but now I'm
looking forward to it.

My partner moved into this fantastic care home a month ago. The family and I couldn't be more delighted with the care he is receiving. It is so beautifully appointed that you could truly believe you are in a five star hotel. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much
trouble for them. The food is first class and there are activities every day to keep the residents occupied. One couldn't ask for anything more.

My father was in Ayton House for a period of 4 weeks to recover after a long hospital stay. He really enjoyed his stay and rest at Ayton House. He got to know many new people and the staff who looked after him well. Everyone was so kind and friendly and took the time to check on him and cater for
his needs. It was so nice being in a place where people said hello and checked on him, even if they were not directly caring for him; they took the time to greet him in the corridors and communal areas. He joined in some of the social activities and spent time in the lounges and café area. One highlight was the ability to watch some films in the cinema room in their pub! The whole facility is very new, modern and tastefully decorated, certainly comfortable to stay in. We would highly recommend Ayton House for short and long-term stays. Thanks to the entire team!

I recently booked 2 weeks respite package at Ayton House and went there following surgery. I was immediately impressed by the level of care that was offered. My carers were attentive, kind and professional. Never once did I see a miserable face on them or hear a disparaging word. My room was
spotlessly clean, adequately furnished with a comfortable bed and an ensuite wet room. There was a private patio, where I could sit in the sun. Added bonuses were the balanced menu offering the choice of tasty, freshly cooked meals and a prompt and efficient laundry service. Activities were on offer, including trips in the minibus. Would I return? The answer is a resounding YES.

We moved the mother to Ayton House at the beginning of June 2025. She suffers from dementia, and we were worried she would not settle in this new home, but we have been so pleased that she has not mentioned her previous home at all. The staff and care she receives are marvelous, she seems to love
them all, especially the cuddles they give her. It's a very happy family atmosphere.

My Mum has been resident at Ayton House since January. She has settled very well and has made some friends. The home is tastefully decorated in soft relaxing colours and is spotlessly clean. Her room is spacious and light, well furnished for her needs with a good en-suite. She has her own rocking
chair and other familiar items from home. Each floor is very homely with a separate lounge and a dining room laid ready for each meal, and there is a coffee lounge behind reception for residents and guests. The food served is excellent and residents have a good choice. Activities are arranged most days, and residents are encouraged but not forced to participate. Regular outings by mini bus are also a feature. Staff are friendly, proactive, cheerful and very professional, treating both residents and visitors with kindness and respect. Nothing is too much trouble, and the level of care provided is superb. I have no concerns leaving my lovely Mum in their kind and very capable hands.

Mum has dementia so caring for her can be challenging. She doesn't remember things so this review is from our perspective. She came to Ayton House in June having fallen at her previous care home and broken her hip. Unfortunately they didn't have a suitable room so we were glad to find Ayton House.
The home itself is lovely, stylish and modern with excellent facilities. Her room is spacious and comfortable with a full en suite and a terrace. The garden is lovely. From our perspective the staff are friendly, caring and above all patient. Having cared for mum ourselves, we know it isn't always easy so we could not ask for more. Mum is kept fully occupied with varied activities and has company whenever she wants it, she was lonely, unhappy and isolated at home and found it difficult to cope although she doesn't always remember that. The food appears to be good and she eats well. She seems happy in the moment and mixes well. We hope she will eventually completely settle.

My husband has stayed here for 2 respite periods and we can't fault the home from arrival to leaving.
All the staff are lovely and can't do enough for him. The food is excellent. The rooms are 5 star.
There is always something going on to entertain the residents.
I always feel reassured when I
leave him there that he is going to be safe and well looked after.

I was most impressed by the professionalism of all at Ayton House. My wife was cared for with warm care and sensitivity right up until the end. I also thought the physical characteristics of the home were excellent- fresh tasteful paintwork, a good room and bathroom, good dining room and good
lounge.The food was excellent.

Ayton House is very much a feeling of "Home from Home "atmosphere . Charming decor and very pleasant caring team The food is outstanding and so well balanced and nutritious . Pleasant gatherings of barbecues and other social occasions . Altogether a very happy feeling .

My father has regular respite accommodation booked throughout the year, which comes as a great comfort for me and him.
The staff are always so welcoming and receive him with immense love and care.
As he has been attending regularly, he is now personally known to all the staff, who precisely
understand his needs from the moment he enters the house.
The pre-planning that goes into his visits is meticulously planned, which we thoroughly appreciate.
As the house is brand new, the cleanliness and attention to detail are incredible.
From the entrance cafe to the dining rooms and leisure areas, including the roof garden, they are delightful.
He always looks forward to his stay, and we know he is completely safe and cared for.
You honestly would find it hard to find fault.
