An amazing place with amazing people working there. Lovely, bright and very clean blatchington manor has a very warm friendly and inviting feel to the place as soon as you step inside and has lots of amazing areas for their residents. bedrooms are lovely spacious and high end furnished and very
clean as are the residents en suite bathrooms Gardens are very well maintained with some lovely touches like the old telephone booth. The lots of different activities daily are great and the throughout the day updates keep us well informed. My mum has been a resident about a month and I cannot thank everyone enough for the kindness and patience they have shown to my mum. I am so grateful and relieved that my mum is in such a great place with wonderful people looking after her.

I chose Blatchington Manor for my family member because the staff are so kind, efficient and supportive. The vegetarian food is top quality and the gardens are very therapeutic, plus the building is light, cheerfully furnished and very spacious. The cleaning is top quality and the entertainment and
activities provided very prolific! Thank you, Blatchington Manor. You are wonderful!

My mum has been at Blatchington for 4 years and the level of care shown has been exceptional. She is treated with dignity and kindness at all times, and I am confident that she is safe and well looked after. All staff are friendly and approachable and do an amazing job - nothing is too much trouble.
Visiting is always a joy. The care home is responsive as regards any questions and requests and keeps me up to date with how she is doing. It is an absolute weight off my mind to know that she is happy and peaceful and I cannot recommend Blatchington highly enough.

My husband moved into Blatchington Manor in August 2025. The staff at Blatchington Manor are all very friendly and welcoming and do their very best to care for the residents. I feel my husband is safe and well cared for and am always kept informed about any issues. I'm very happy with my choice of
care home for my husband.
25 March 2026
All staff were helpful, patient and very kind. Nothing was too much trouble.
Would highly recommend whether it be for respite or permanent living.

Although I have not been able to personally visit Blatchington Manor, I understand from my sister, family and friends who have, that the facilities and care at BM are of a very high standard. My sister really likes her spacious room with its large window that looks out on to the beautiful gardens.
She feels at home, appreciating the kindliness of all the staff.
As I live a long way from BM I have been particularly impressed by the caring of my sister; BM staff taking her to several recent hospital appointments and keeping me fully informed regarding her treatment.
My sister also enjoys the monthly in-house activities programme in which she often likes to take part.

My mother arrived at Blatchington Manor in October for respite care. Her spacious room with garden outlook made her feel at home. The friendly staff manage the fine balance between encouraging independence while being there to help when needed. She has stayed beyond the respite care because she is
happy, enjoys her food and has help with any health challenges as they arise. Joining in the many activities makes her smile. Having company at meals and in the lounge means that she is not lonely. There was a lovely photo of a her smiling while a visiting singer, sung to her.
I live abroad and have the reassurance that someone will chat with her if she's sad. I can phone her and check on the log to see what she's doing each day. The staff will contact me to share updates and help in anyway they can. Family and friends are welcome to visit and take her out
I have been so impressed with the friendly care my mother has received and the reassurance that I receive from all the staff.

My mother moved to this home last year. I have been very impressed by all aspects of her care. The staff are very responsive to changes in her health. They are trained to take observations and raise concerns early to the GP or emergency services. They have a good relationship with the local GP
surgery and review residents weekly if needed.
They have an app where you can see how your loved one is, photos are uploaded and you can see what they've had to eat and drink.
I am a nurse and have been very impressed by the care my Mum has received.
There are many choices of food. Mum is a fussy eaten at times and she has eater very well.
The care staff are very kind and their standards are very high. They show love and understanding to their residents. Even in challenging situations I have never seen anyone lose their patience or be unkind. Their residents are treated like family members.
There is an excellent entertainment programme with visiting performers and daily craft and activities.

The care home was clean & warm.
The majority of staff were very good & caring.
The food was very good
Overall I was very satisfied with the care given to my wife during her 2 weeks respite.

From the initial meeting at the home my dad was made to feel very welcome and very safe. Every single member of staff is kind and caring. I knew he was in the best place possible for his respite and the patience and care given was amazing. The home itself is beautifully maintained and looks more
like a beautiful hotel. I can't thank them enough for the kindness shown to my dad, myself and my family.

We were devastated to come to the realisation that our mum couldn't continue to live at home due to advancing dementia. We were recommended Blatchington Manor by a friend whose mum was also there, and from the first difficult and tearful visit the staff have been amazing. Better than many hotels I
have stayed in we couldn't be more pleased with the care, cleanliness, attitude and running of the home. Mum has settled well and enjoys living there - not just because the food is great but also as there is plenty going on, regular activities and friendly staff. The staff deserve high praise - they are professional, fun, kind and attentive and bend over backwards to accommodate mums needs . Mums room is really clean and spacious and they have been supportive of personalisation and additions. Having looked at many other places I really think this is one of the best. We are so relieved to know she is in good hands.

My mother became a resident at Blatchington Manor about a year ago.
I believe she was happy during her time there. She certainly enjoyed the music and the singing.
My experience of staff from every part of the organisation has been extremely positive. They always have a welcoming smile, a
supportive demeanour and a kind word.
The care of my mother during the last two weeks of her life was exemplary. There was huge attention
to detail, excellent communication with myself and the family and a sense that 'nothing was too much trouble'.
It is a great comfort to me to know that my mother was so beautifully looked after at the end of her life.
As a retired nurse I fully appreciate the skilled nature of the work that you do. Not only the practical element of the work, but also the empathy demonstrated by all the staff. The ability to consistently demonstrate such an empathetic attitude is a credit to all those individuals - but also the organisation within which they work.

Fantastic care home, more like a hotel than a home, clean, friendly, nothing is too much trouble, lovely atmosphere, food is amazing, carers interact with the residents. Overall, an amazing care home, thank you.

My mum went into Blatchington Manor Care Home just over 6 months ago. We really didn't want my mum to go into a home but she needed, by then, 24 hour care which we were unable to give her. The staff have been amazing, nothing is too much to look after my mum. Whenever I leave mum, I know she will be
really well looked after and they treat her with the respect and dignity she deserves. The food is lovely, with a varied menu each day, which my mum loves, and now eats foods she would not eat before. The building is always clean and the facilities and activities that my mum does each day are amazing. Every staff member treats my mum like their own mum and also know every resident by their first name and nothing is too much. I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Blatchington Manor Care Home for being an amazing support to my mum, myself and my family.

My father went into Blatchington Manor from hospital for 2 months whilst we moved house to enable him to return home again.
We cannot fault the care he received there. Every member of staff was pleasant and helpful. His room was beautiful with a view over the garden. The whole place is kept
immaculately clean. The food was very good.
We viewed several other homes before Blatchington Manor and hated them, we worried we wouldn't find anything suitable but Blatchington Manor restored our faith. We will have no hesitation in arranging respite care there for my father whenever necessary, we know he'll be happy there and we'll be confident in the care he'll receive.
A beautiful home with an excellent team of people.
19 August 2024
I visit my mother once a week and take her out to lunch. She is always prepared and dressed, ready to go. On arrival, I am greeted by staff and management, who are polite and courteous and are all well informed about my mother and her needs. This is Mum's second care home, and the difference in the
care, treatment and activities is palpable. It is an hour's travel for me, but it's worth it for Mum's care and happiness.
22 July 2024
After a fifty-year relationship, it was a big shock to see my partner go into care but Blatchington Manor staff were unfailingly supportive. As my partner has Lewy body dementia, his physical and mental capacities have declined at different rates but care staff have adapted to these challenges. As a
gay couple, I appreciate the way staff are sensitive to this and draw back to allow me to feed my partner and listen to music in privacy.
22 July 2024
My mum has been a resident since January 2022 and we have been really happy with the home and the quality of care she receives. She has at times been difficult to look after with increasing agitation due to the progress of her disease and staff have managed this with kindness and respect. The
communication from the home has been excellent with incidents concerning our mum detailed on the app and by phone call. The house and garden are lovely and all staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks so much for what you do
19 June 2024
I have found the staff at Blatchington Manor to be most caring, helpful and always pleasant to both residents and visitors. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them!
Due to no fault of the management and staff, I have witnessed a big turnover of employees during the time I have been visiting my
sister in Blatchington. They certainly deserve a better remuneration for their great work!
17 June 2024
I have been delighted with this care home. I had looked after Mum at home for seven years so this decision was a difficult one... but she has settled so well. The staff are really kind, they listen and have worked out what is the best care for her. She looks less anxious and has told me that it is
nice there. There is much for her to join in with or just observe. The surroundings are lovely. Blessed to have found this place.
