Care Suites

Nursing care within your own home

The care suites provide residents with much more space than nursing home bedrooms. This allows residents and their families to spend good quality time together in privacy and comfort. There is a choice of studio or one bedroom suites, all with en-suite shower rooms. They all benefit from the secure entrance to the building.

Become part of a community

The suites are specially for people with moderate/severe dementia. Residents of the suites have their own lounge/dining room and they are encouraged to take part in the internal activities programme. However, they have complete choice over which activities they wish to join. Also, they can have their meals served in their suites or they can enjoy the company of the other residents in their communal dining room.

Choice of renting or buying

Residents can rent or buy their care suites. For those who decide to buy, the on-going costs of care and support are about a third lower than traditional nursing home fees and there is a "buy back" agreement when they leave. A service charge takes care of bills such as gas electricity and property maintenance. All food is included as is personal laundry and cleaning of the suite.

In-house Registered Nurses and carers available 24 hours a day

Hailsham House is registered as a Domiciliary Care Agency and a Nurses Agency in order to provide both personal and nursing care to the residents of the suites. The in-house team of registered nurses and carers is available 24 hours a day to respond to the residents' care needs when required. With Registered Nurses available on-site, the suites offer a home for life even if full nursing care ever becomes necessary. However, as the suites are the residents' own homes, they can also choose to buy their care from any provider registered with the Care Quality Commission.
