South Coast Nursing Homes

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.

We would like to thank all the staff at Manor Hall for the care and kindness showed to our father over the past few years. Many thanks.

Thank you for treating me like one of your own. I have really enjoyed my time with you all. I really appreciate how lovely you all were to me and for making my first placement on to remember for the good reason.

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!

Hello Lucy, Margeurite and the staff. Thank you all so much for the wonderful care you gave to our lovely Uncle Les for the last eleven years.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 Pentlands staff. Your care to Mary was exemplary and your kindness to the family was appreciated. Thank you so much. 

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 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.

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.

Many thanks for you your care and empathy shown to Jim. Love and prayer.

Thank you all so much for making mum’s 90th birthday so enjoyable, we all appreciated the effort and work that was put in by everybody. We’ll all have happy memories of her special day.

To all the staff at Abundant Grace. A missive thank you for caring for my mum. The work you all do is just fantastic.

To all the staff, we would like to thank you all for the kindness you have shown our mum Brenda during her stay. I am sure she will miss you all. With love.

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.

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.

To you all at Abundant Grace, thank you so much for the love and care you showed our Auntie Penny. You are truly special people.

To all the staff at Berkeley Lodge, thank you so much for taking such good care of Pam. Love and best wishes.

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

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 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. I know you made his last couple of weeks comfortable and words cannot express what a horrible disease Cancer is! Sorry i cant remember all your names but thank you!! 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

To all the staff involved in the care of my gran, Violet. Thank you all for your care and attention towards my gran in her last few years of her life, it means a lot. With warmest wishes.

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

This is an extremely good care home, it is clean, food is very good and the room facilities are excellent. Staff are caring and considerate, and my mother has been very looked after and I am very impressed with it.

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.

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 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.

To all the staff of Manor Hall. Thank you so much for your care and the love shown to Jean.

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

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

To Tracy and all the staff at Rookwood Residential Home. Your help, care, patience and understanding have been very much appreciated over the last few years, bless you all. My late mum was so lucky to be with you. All good wishes for the future.

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

This is a note to convey my thanks to each and every one of you for your parts in caring for our mum Joan over the past 5 years. Catering, laundry, maintenance, domestic, nursing, caring, activities, management, admin, welfare, whoever and whatever your forte! You are all amazing!!

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.

Dear  Lee and all the Pentlands staff. We’d like to thank everyone for all the love, care and attention you gave Joy during her stay there. We really do believe the service she received was exceptional and we are truly grateful. Thank you again.

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.

Dear Pentlands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dad. With best wishes.

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.

Dear friends, many thanks for all your care, compassion and kindness to our late Aunty Mary Stubbs, it has always been appreciated. With all good wishes for a happy new year.

Dear Lucy and all the yet more fantastic team at Manor Hall! Thank you all very much for helping us out again and at such short notice. mum was looked after beautifully and your expertise she is now out of pain, and doing very well back at home. I know that she was a bit tricky at times but everyone was kind, supportive, compassionate and patient. Plenty of smiling faces to keep us all going. Thank you all again with all best wished for continues success.

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.

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.

To Jenny and all the staff at Eastridge Manor. On behalf of Rita’s Italian family Sue, Linda and myself we would like to express our thanks for all the love and care you all gave to Rita while she was with you. Many thanks.

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.

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.

To all the staff at Eastridge Manor, thank you so much for taking care of our dad so well during the past year. With best wishes.

Just a short note to say a huge thank you to you and your staff for the wonderful care you gave to mum. We couldn’t of chosen better than Rookwood.
