Review of
Abundant Grace Nursing Home
from Thomas E (Respite Resident) published on 28 February 2025

Overall Experience

As a 23-year-old who requires care and sometimes having to go to respite, I am always nervous about going somewhere new. I had a two-week respite stay at Abundant Grace, and as soon as I met the staff, my anxiety went away. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful. The staff helped me settle in and unpack.

My medication, which is quite important for managing my conditions, was always given on time by the lovely nurses. I can't praise the carers and nurses enough. During the night, there is always carers on hand when I require assistance. My only slight issue was always feeling during the day like a little bit of a pain when asking for things as the staff were always so busy, but I was never made to feel like this, just a personal feeling. The home is very clean and tidy, the housekeeping staff are attentive to cleaning the bedrooms and communal areas every day of the week. It would have been nice for the manager to pop by and say hello and introduce himself, but this is not a massive issue.

Review of
Blatchington Manor
from Jayne F (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2025

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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

Overall Experience

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!

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.

Overall Experience

A nursing home, by its very nature, is a place where most people do not want to be, but the staff at Abundant Grace go the full mile in making it a warm, friendly, pleasant place to be.
The building is well designed with beautiful well-kept gardens. My mum has been at AG since Sept 23 and is very comfortable,

content and well looked after. She loves her garden view and the activities.

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident at Blatchington Manor for over two years.
All members of the team take a real interest in Mum and genuinely care about her well-being and happiness. We're kept updated during our regular visits and can arrange meetings to discuss how best to meet Mum's changing needs, as well

as email correspondence. Family and visitors are always welcome at any time - including Mum's dog.
The activities team are very committed to enhancing the experience of residents throughout the day and evenings. We're impressed by the range and frequency, e.g. singing, dancing, quizzes, crafts, art, rickshaw rides to the beach; walking to the local church; visits to local nurseries and schools; celebrations and events.
Everywhere is clean, bright and comfortable. The garden areas are stunning.
It was a hard decision to place Mum in a care home but the environment and the people helped to settle her. We're reassured she is better supported with all that's on offer and she is safe and secure.

Overall Experience

My beloved aunt was sent to Abundant Grace April 23, for end of life to only be there a week or two.
With pure determination from her and impeccable care, support, love and stimulation from everyone at AG, she managed to go on another year.
I felt great comfort from her being there, as I felt guilty

in the beginning of her going into a home.
They reassured me, comforted and attended to every need to make her feel safe, entertained and comfortable.
The staff were patient and so very understanding with her, as well as extremely supportive with me up to her demise.
The staff are so warm and friendly.
It is such a beautiful building and the gardens are stunning.
Highly recommend Abundant Grace to care for your loved one.
