What Makes Our Respite Care in Eastbourne Award-Winning?

Every short stay is treated with the same care and attention we give to our permanent residents. Whether you need help getting ready in the morning, support managing your medication, or just the reassurance of knowing someone is nearby, we’re here for you. Our person-centred approach means your care is built around what matters most to you.

Your Stay, Your Way

Taking time out for yourself is essential. Your private en-suite room is a peaceful place to relax and recharge, while the rest of the home offers welcoming social spaces, quiet corners and sunny outdoor spots. Whether you prefer a crossword and a cuppa or a walk in the fresh air, you can spend each day as you choose.

Dining that Delights

We believe food should nourish body and soul. Our chefs prepare fresh, seasonal menus filled with your favourite dishes — from full breakfasts and homemade soups to three-course lunches and sweet treats. Want to dine in your room or enjoy a seaside-inspired dinner with a tipple? You can — it’s all included in our all-inclusive short-term care service.

Life, on Your Terms

Our varied weekly activity programme gives you the chance to stay active, try something new or simply have fun. Watch Eastbourne’s Airbourne airshow live in the cinema, join a gentle gardening session or enjoy some painting with new friends. Whether it’s revisiting an old hobby or starting a new one, we’ll make sure your stay brings you joy.

Many of our team members have been with us for years, helping to provide continuity and confidence during your stay.
