South Coast Nursing Homes

Sadly my mother who is now 83 is not able to care for herself as well as she has in the past. I needed a home that was light, airy, warm with great food, lots going on, a fun place to be, beautifully clean and with lovely attentive staff! (A tall order I know) everything I would want for myself or anyone I suppose. Donna the manager in particular is so amazingly supportive and helpful. Fernbank not only ticks all the boxes but it is close to the town station and particularly the wonderful seaside, so its the perfect place. Sadly my mother only goes in for respite as she insists on staying at home but she really loves it there and I hope and pray she eventually stays permanently. Trust me, I really know what a good and bad place is and I truly cant find fault with them, I feel blessed to know she is safe and getting good food and care in a place even nicer than her own home.

To all the staff at Pentlands. Thank you so much for looking after mum in her last few months. Your care and compassion were ever present and appreciated. All our love.

I cannot speak to highly of Berkeley Lodge and the Dementia Care provided there. The environment is well and spaciously designed, and immaculately presented. The nurses, carers, ancillary and activity team are always welcoming, cheerful, supportive and sympathetic, its a real team effort. Every resident is regarded as Special and worthy of tender loving care in their own right. I am most happy to recommend Berkeley Lodge most warmly with confidence.

From the bottom of our hearts we thank all of you for the outstanding, amazing care you gave our mum – Deirdre- and nanna, over the last 11 months.
Mum was settled and content and happy, and you have all ensured she could be.
It enabled us to cherish the special moments we had with her.
With grateful thanks to a fantastic team

To all the staff at Abundant Grace, thank you for all your wonderful care and looking after my grandfather Laurie, a true one of kind. Enjoy the chocolates.

To all the staff , We would like to thank you all for taking such care of our dear friend Mary. In the last few weeks of her life the care and kindness you showed her made the inevitable end just a little easier for us to bear. We had been friends for 45 years and she leaves a great hole in our lives. Once again thank you and god bless you all.

To all the staff at Berkeley Lodge who cared for Hazel with such kindness, compassion and respect. A huge thank you! We appreciate your hard work and good humour. With love and all good wishes.

To all of you at Abundant Grace who helped care for Nell in her short stay with you. Many thanks and best wishes.

We did not believe in angels until we met the nurses and carers looking after my sister. The care and friendliness you are giving whilst she is so ill is second to none, you are all angels in our eyes, angels without wings.

Thank you so much for being so patient for the care in looking after Joan.

Pete and I would like to send a very big thank you to all the staff at Eastridge We can not thank you all enough for the care you gave Laura and support for us. Our visits to see Laura were not always good but seeing the happy and cheery faces of the staff made the visits worth while.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff who looked after Geoff. Such care and humour helped ease him through such a difficult time. With many thanks.

Girls and boys. Terry is sadly now over the rainbow, thank you Jo for taking Terry on his sunshine journey for his last G & T, that meant so much to him. Thank you to everyone upstairs and down, room to room. Always looking for Shangri la, he must be there now, I do hope he is.
Thank you everyone for all your kindness shown to Terry my love and all the kindness shown to me, i will miss you all.

Excellent in all ways, staff are caring, kind and make White Lodge a lovely place to visit. The gardens are wonderful and beautifully maintained, there are activities happening which makes it a lively place while still being small and cosy. Would recommend.

Thank you to all the staff who cared for Laura. This is to tell you how much the wider family have appreciated the considerate and loving care you gave to Laura, and give to all the residents.

We would like to thank all the staff who cared for Mary, for their professionalism and kindness. No one really (least of all mum!) wants to be in a Nursing Home, but your care and friendship towards mum helped her cope through some dark times. Thank you all so much.

To Tracy and all the staff. Thank you all so much for caring and looking after my mum, Mary, She was so happy and on my visits always stressed that I was not to worry as she was being looked after so well. I think what stands out most is how kind and caring you all are, although busy you always find the time to listen and treat the resident with respect and dignity. My first impression of Rookwood, was one of a homely happy atmosphere and i knew it was the right home for mum, thank you so much.

We just wanted to thank you all again so VERY much for all the care and love you showed our dear mother since she came to Pentland’s three years ago. It was so lovely to see so many of you at Mothers thanksgiving service. You are all very special and we are so grateful that mothers stay with you enable our paths to cross. I particularly will miss you all – you have become my extended family and i shall never forget you. With love.

Thank you for caring for Mary in such a kind and compassionate way. You provided quality care.

To everyone at Pentlands. To everyone that looked after me so well, and was so kind to me, I’ll probably see you again in a few months time!

A big thank you to everyone at Pentland’s for making our Christmas so enjoyable, for all the activities and outings and the lovely Christmas lunch. Mum seemed to like the big tree in the lounge best, I think it was the lights going on and off. Thank you especially for all the care and kindness mum has received through out the year, she seems very contented and her visitors have said how well she looks. Best wishes.

We have been comforted to know that mum’s last few weeks were spent at Eastridge Manor, from the onset we were overwhelmed by the loving and compassionate care shown to mum. Mum was only at Eastridge for a short while but we immediately felt she was supported and looked after to the highest standards, the care was excellent and we were grateful for the support received at a very difficult time.

My mother has been living at Blatchington Manor since it opened. I can not recommend it enough. The staff, the manager and deputy manager downwards are so friendly and caring. We always get a warm welcome when we arrive, whatever day or time we turn up. My mother is well looked after and has even started putting on some weight as the food is really good, high praise from her. She is kept busy with activities every day and the staff have taken the time to get to know mum and what her interest and previous life was like so they can tailor activities to suit her.

To Matron/Nurse in charge and staff at Manor Hall. Thank you for your care and attention to the late Mrs Lucy Matilda Dabey and for making her passing a peaceful one.

To all the staff at Abundant Grace.
Thank you all for your care and kindness and above all , your friendliness during my recent stay with you.

Thank you so much for all your care and for looking after mum so well for us over the last few years. For doing your best to make her ‘at home’ helping her to cope with Parkinson’s and for all the extra little things made her day for comfortable. A special thank you to Elena and the night staff for your compassion and support during her last days. We will miss you all.

We can not speak highly enough of the care and attention given to Mary. Thank you all very very much.

To Donna, I would just like to say a big thank you for all the support and care you have given mum over the past few years. It’s an amazing home and she is so blessed, i feel so relieved knowing she is with you and safe.

Just to say a big thank you for all you’ve done for Penny over the last 5 years. She has been so well looked after and cared for. Thank you again for all the kindness and compassion given to her.

To all the staff at Manor Hall. This is just a little note to say a big heart felt thanks for looking after my brother Clive.

Thank you Rose, sorry i make you jump, but a least we could laugh about it, Thank you Eileen for a lovely cup of tea and the up dates on my brothers progress.

Thank you to everyone for the help you provided for us in caring for Peter in his last days. It was so kind to allow Malcolm and Richard to stay with Peter overnight and provide them with ”eats” and drinks to help them through the night. Such a shame Peter was not able to enjoy the pleasant outlook form his room.

She enjoyed being able to watch the birds and squirrels feeding by her window, and she liked to walk around the garden, and stop and rest on the many seats.
Thank you to ‘Ann’ on reception and ‘Julie’ for always making me feel welcome and listening to me, on my weekly visits to my aunt

All the staff from Jenny, Reg. Lesley (who F referred to as mother), Liz in the office, the chef who daily produced excellent meals and cakes, to laundry staff who ensured her clothes were beautifully cleaned and pressed, the cleaners who ensured her room was spotless and always a had a cheerie word, all the wonderful care assistants and nurses, Angie who organised the entertainment and the maintenance man are all a huge credit to South Coast Nursing Homes and make Eastridge Manor a kind, caring, loving and happy home which i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

To Jenny and all the caring staff and team, thank you for all the care and love you gave to our dad ‘Bill’ over the past 7 years.

Dear Lucy and all the fantastic team at Manor Hall. As a family we cannot thank you enough for all the tender, loving care you gave not only to our darling dad, DC, but to us as a family. In our hearts we all know that dad was reaching the end of his wonderful life and it was made easier for us all  to witness the love and kindness given to him in his final days. He was treated with dignity and respect and whilst our wish was to get him home – he was as good as home – thank you.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for the care you gave to Jean whilst she was with you. Jean always seemed happy at Rookwood. Thank you once again, I would be happy to recommend Rookwood to anyone with residential needs.

To all the wonderful staff at Manor Hall. Thank you all so much for the exceptional care that you all gave our father. From the cleaners to the cooks, and especially the nursing team. You helped to make his journey a peaceful one with lots of compassion.

Thank you so much for your care and attention for our dad. It was such a relief to find somewhere for my dad to feel safe. The care dad received was excellent and everyone was so kind to him and us. We haven’t been able to find a care home that is a good fit up until now but we would be more than happy for dad to come back to you for respite and ultimately long term.
Thank you so much.

We would like to thank you for all the care and kindness that you showed mum whilst she was at Rookwood. The scrapbook of mums work was wonderful and we will always treasure it. Wishing you all the best.

To everyone at Eastridge Manor who has cared for our mum DP since her arrival 4 months ago, whether its feeding, cleaning her room, laundry, nursing or supporting her to do day to day things, we really appreciate all that has been done to settle her into her new home. You are all so very kind and amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for her.

Thank you all so much for the kindness and care you have given mum over the last 16 months.
