Wonderful care home, excellent service and care delivered. Clean and friendly environment. Lovely staff members, could not fault the home at all. Both my grandfather and grandmother were cared for at the home before they passed away and they were both very happy there and were so well looked after.
We cannot thank the home enough for everything they did for them.

My Aunt, known as 'Mum', is in her 100th year.
She has been a resident of Poppy (2nd floor).
I visit her almost every day and I have always been greeted with a warm welcome.
The care that Mum receives is always of a professional, dedicated and caring manner.
I am extremely impressed by every service
Hastings Court offers.

Very modern (new building) all facilities available. Carers work hard and are pleasant and helpful.
Mealtimes are a bit erratic.
Designated doctor is very unhelpful.
Hairdresser very useful and social facilities (bar, coffee) useful.
The food has room for improvement.

Overall we think the standard of care and provision is good.
Our friend was in for respite care/short term following a stay in hospital.
Our main concern is that they were slow in compiling a care plan and gathering medical knowledge of her condition and needs.

In our view, there have been discernible 'ups and downs' since opening but the family remain satisfied that my mother-in-law is as comfortable and settled as she could be anywhere, given the challenges that life sadly now presents to her. Certainly, the reception staff are always most welcoming and
the majority of care staff are approachable and respond to any concerns. My mother-in-law enjoys many of the activities, particularly those of a musical nature. It is with disappointment, that we understand some of these are to be curtailed this year. She really becomes much closer to 'being her old self' during these activities.

We came to visit our friend who was having a short stay at Hastings Court and we were amazed at how friendly and supportive all the staff were and what great facilities the home had. It was like stepping into a five-star hotel.

My parents have lived in Hastings Court for nearly a year and I cannot praise the home highly enough. Although obviously we would rather they did not have to live in residential care – as they do (one parent has Parkinson’s Disease and the other dementia), Hastings Court is the perfect place for them.
The care focuses on each and every resident as an individual – and residents are encouraged to engage in the range of activities provided. Activities include music therapy, pottery, baking, tai chi, outings to the pub or to shopping centres and many, many more.


Friends and family are encouraged to join in and always made welcome. The personal care both my parents receive is of a very high standard but the staff always consider their needs, maintain their dignity at all times and simply cannot do enough for them. The staff often work beyond their paid hours, tell me about particular issues my parents have raised and generally ‘go the extra mile’ time and time again.

My mother succumbed to the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease at Hastings Court after a long cruel journey.


The care and attention that she received throughout her time at this remarkable care home, until the very end, is nothing other than exemplary. It sets the bar extremely high in terms of quality

care that is consistent.
Every team member, in their specific role contributed to the individualised care of my mother and the other residents with genuine compassion that is palpable, and patience and professionalism that is humbling.


I feel so lucky to have found Hastings Court having suffered considerable upset and stress in viewing no less than 31 establishments across Sussex, Kent and London. Many did not fill me with confidence in the staff (or staffing structure), their knowledge, experience, level of expertise, or - crucially - demonstrated any degree of genuine caring commitment towards their residents.
It is this that sets Hastings Court apart from so many others.

This nursing home is second to none. The management and staff are excellent. Their concerns are for the residents - and entertainment is on a daily basis and the lifestyle staff work hard to keep the residents interested. I would not want to be anywhere else.

My wife and I visited of friend of ours who is a resident at Hastings Court. This is the third time I have visited this care home both to see this resident and to see a previous resident. Both my wife and I have been very impressed by the friendliness and quality of this care home - far better than
any other I have visited.

One of the very best homes that I have visited (in my job I visit many clients who are in residential care). It has a good atmosphere, clean, efficient and friendly staff. Food was good and rooms comfortable. The facilities look to be first class.

My husband has been in this excellent care home for one year and he was in another before Hastings Court. I could not wish for a better caring and happy place for him to be in. I wish everyone had the chance to receive the care he does. Everyone deserves a care home like Hastings Court. He was unsettled
in his previous care home, and its so nice to see him happy and settled at Hastings Court, which keeps me at ease, so thank you Hastings Court and well done.

My friend came to Hastings Court for respite care and has settled very well at Hastings Court and although was contemplating going into a care home due to the stigma surrounding care homes as of late, they have now decided to stay permanently at Hastings Court. It is without a doubt the best care home
I have had the pleasure in visiting in a long time. Everyone is welcoming and the home itself has a calm and warming atmosphere which is apparent as soon as you step into the home. The staff are all wonderful and go far beyond their call of duty. Hastings Court is certainly a home from home and are just like a big family.

It's probably the hardest decision to make, placing a much loved relative or friend in a care home. It's even harder for that person to leave behind their home with all their treasured memories.


At Hastings Court both the relatives and residents are taken through each step with the utmost care and

professionalism, each residents individual needs are catered for.


The atmosphere is welcoming, caring and fun! Hastings court is a breath of fresh air, where new memories are made and old ones are treasured, where all members of staff work as a team to provide excellent care.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Hastings Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.961 for Hastings Court is calculated as follows: ( (371 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 386 Ratings = 4.961

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hastings Court is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2015

My first job in the care sector started 30 years ago and despite exploring other career choices I have always returned to doing what I love the most. I have been part of the Hastings Court family since 2015 and I feel extremely proud to be a member of the management team in such a fabulous home.


I feel incredibly passionate about our residents receiving the best possible care during their time with us and all of our team members go above and beyond every day to ensure that this happens.


Seeing our residents doing the things that they love is such a treat for us all, from days out fishing, trips to the theatre or just a walk around the Old Town browsing through the antique shops, it’s sometimes the little things that count the most.

My job is so varied and that's what I love about it! I support not only the home in general with all aspects of home care, plumbing, décor etc but help residents and their families to personalise their rooms.
