Our great friend had been a resident at Eastbourne Gardens for 9 years before his death this week. We cannot commend the staff highly enough for the care and compassion that was shown to him. His last months were difficult, not just for him, but for the staff as well. It was tiring work looking after
him, but they enabled him to stay in the same room offering him highly personalised, loving and dignified care. We felt cared for too, and could come and go as we needed. which was very helpful towards the end. He was given care appropriate for his needs from relatively independent living when he moved in, to increased care and in -house activities , through to end of life. The staff at all levels are exceptional. Well trained, professional and committed to providing the best care they can adapted to the needs of each individual. They are the Eastbourne Gardens family and they provide a true home for their residents. Our grateful thanks to you all.

We so appreciate you taking the time to write these kind words, it means so much to us, 9 fabulous years, things will certainly not be the same without him, we were honoured to care for him until the end and thank you for the trust you placed in us.

My sisters and I cannot say enough good things about Eastbourne Gardens Care Home.
From the moment we arrived when visiting our aunt, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the well-being of the residents. Whether it's
the nurses, caregivers, or administrative team, everyone is professional, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the highest level of care.
The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and feels like a true home rather than an institution. The rooms are comfortable and bright and the communal spaces are beautifully designed. What truly stands out is the personalized care our aunt received. It's comforting to know that they are in good hands and being treated with dignity and respect.
The food is delicious and caters to different dietary needs.
This place truly sets a high standard for what a care home should be.
Thank you.

My grandma's health took a turn for the worse and needed to be in a place with nursing 24 hours. I had heard about the excellent care as a friend's relative had been there and the moment I stepped into the home it felt like home. The manager and staff I met before making our decision were friendly understanding
and cared about the situation we were in with our grandma. Her time there was only for a few months but the level of care was excellent she loved all the staff. They made me and my husband feel very welcome nothing was a problem for them. My grandma passed at the home and we were able to come and go when ever we wanted to. This made a difficult and very upsetting situation seem calm as there professionalism was brilliant she was cared for right to the end. This place will always have a special place in my heart.

Choosing a care home for a loved one is a responsibility one takes seriously and having looked at some others I immediately felt that Eastbourne Gardens would be the new perfect home for my cousin. On initially meeting the Client Liaison Manager this was confirmed and also by meeting the Manager and
Head of Nursing who answered all the relevant questions in such a way that any concerns and worries disappeared. Now my cousin has been a resident for two weeks and absolutely loves her chosen room but more particularly the wonderful nursing, care, domestic staff and everyone who has entered her room. She has been very independent and I thought the transition might be difficult but not so because she feels so loved and cared for by everyone. We are so thankful we found Eastbourne Gardens and would not hesitate to invite others to visit and feel the care.

The manager and her wonderful team at Eastbourne Gardens have cared for my parents for a number of years. There have been several changes of ownership but the team have worked exceptionally hard to minimize the impact of this on residents. Avery unfortunately was not equipped to inherit the previous
invoicing approach which was accurate and transparent. This has been disappointing but the Eastbourne Gardens team have done all they can to support query resolution. The management team have many years of experience between them and is always on hand if anything needs to be discussed. Every decision is made in the best interest of the resident. Care (including nursing care) is delivered in a professional but compassionate manner. When choosing a care home the existence of end-of-life care was important too. Unfortunately, we have recently had to go through that but the service was exemplary and Dad was where he wanted to be during that time with the Eastbourne Gardens family.

This is my mother's third respite stay at Eastbourne Gardens. The leadership team were incredibly supportive as my mother required admission at very short notice due to her having been unwell.
The amazing lengths the staff go to ensure my mother is made to feel so welcome, and safe and all her needs
catered for is just simply incredible. All the staff are genuinely kind and compassionate and cannot do enough to ensure my mother feels at home and included in what feels like one amazing family. My mother is so happy and at ease and loves all the activities provided and the teams that love to chat with her. The facilities are wonderful and now my mother is considering moving into the home permanently. I would most certainly recommend Eastbourne Gardens.

My first impressions were excellent, as soon as you walked in, it's impressive, during the stay I had a good nose around the whole place and it was all first-rate. The reception was very welcoming and helpful, as was the managerial staff upon arriving and this continued throughout the stay. Staff to
patient ratio and here it was very good. All of the many staff I met in the five weeks my mother was a resident in the dementia unit were exceptional, all were very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive not only to mum but to her visitors also. I truly felt they all were trying hard to make my mum's stay as good as it could possibly be. To all staff, well done and thank you.

Dad moved into Eastbourne Gardens in March 2023. Broadly speaking, he was happy enough there, and there are some lovely members of staff. However, the standards quickly declined, likely because of the takeover Avery Healthcare - which has led to unhappy staff, a constant rotation of agency staff, and
rude and unhelpful management.
There were constant issues with consistency of care - it was common for him to be forgotten entirely in the mornings - and mistakes were often made in his care and medication.
On multiple occasions he would push his pendant alarm for help and no one would come. Once he fell out of bed and was lying on the floor for an hour before help came (something the care home themselves acknowledged).
Management were incredibly unhelpful and downright unresponsive to me when raising queries with them, which is utterly unprofessional. I am staggered that they are still listed as 'outstanding' on the CQC.

My mother stayed at Eastbourne Gardens for recuperation and respite care for 3 weeks recently. This was to bridge between recent hospitalisation and a return to her apartment in an independent living complex. Her health improved considerably in her time at EGCH. She enjoyed many of the activities and
found food to be very good. All the staff were friendly, professional and attentive.

Mum joined the care home in January as we were going on an extended holiday. She has enjoyed her visit so much that she has decided to stay!
The welcome she received from everyone was great. The management team was so friendly and supportive, especially The client liaison manager who made the transition
so easy. Mum wasn’t looking forward to moving into a ‘home’ but she has embraced life completely. The activities provided are amazing. Mum has enjoyed every celebration, listened to some wonderful performances, visited a preschool nursery, participated in many activities, and made her way onto their social media photos! I really can’t ask for more from the entertainment/activities team.
The care team together with the nursing staff are magnificent and ensure that all the needs of the residents are met.
Last but not least are the reception staff. They are so friendly and welcoming. I’ve worked in that environment and realized what a difference it makes. They do.
Thank you to all.

The front of house and senior staff worked efficiently in a pleasing manner, welcoming newcomers in a way similar to the general decor. The care workers were excellent showing compassion and warmth uplifting every individual resident. All other individual groups of staff providing social well-being
and laundry and clearing dining were quietly efficient and carried out their duties in an encouraging way. Medical presence by way of nurses was also excellent. The overall experience worked for my wife in her recovery and was memorable.

My wife, who has Alzheimer's, has now lived at Eastbourne Gardens for almost a year. Right from the start she has always seemed very happy, looked after with great affection and care by all the staff, and enjoying all the many various activities. So despite reservations beforehand about moving into

For some years I have acted as POA for a family friend, a fiercely independent and thoughtful 97 year old. Over the last 7 weeks she has come to terms with failing health and no longer being able to live in her own home. She arrived at Eastbourne Gardens from hospital 6th February for respite care and
this week said she wished to become a permanent resident. This decision has been emotional for her and the part played by the staff at Eastbourne Gardens caring for her whilst contemplating her future is not to be underestimated. From the moment she arrived, their patience in dealing with her, their attention to detail in assessing her individual needs, the professional standard of their care and the time taken in communicating with her has been exemplary. It was music to my ears last Tuesday when she asked me to mention the merits of a young carer to management whose help at mealtimes had been wonderful. A sure sign that this special elderly lady is settling in.

Eastbourne Garden Care home is excellent. From my first meeting with the wonderful client liaison manager, I felt understood and assured that the care home was the best place for my father with dementia. My family and I were treated with respect and empathy. Every visit was consistent. We were warmly
greeted by kind and caring staff. The care home is very open and warm. It is wonderful you can visit at any time. The dementia nurses have been excellent in managing Dad's care and the whole team on the Reminiscence floor has been great. My father has put on weight and is eating well. Everyone is very experienced and respectful of his needs. Communication is good and it is a place that my children enjoy visiting to spend time with their grandfather. I reviewed several care homes in the area but the Eastbourne Garden Care home was significantly better.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Eastbourne Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.713 for Eastbourne Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 Eastbourne Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 27 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 107 registered maximum number of service users is 21.4, which has been reached with 27 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

When I  joined the home in 2016 initially working as a Nurse it was love at first sight! When I first walked in it felt like “coming home” to a unique and special place whose ethos and unique approach to care shone out and I instantly felt part of something special. Moving on to become a Dementia Care Manager I led an amazing team in the Memory Care Neighbourhood that is dedicated to providing enriched person-centred care in a unique, stimulating and safe environment, together we reached dizzy heights winning a National Care Award for Resident Engagement in 2017 and becoming finalists in the National Dementia Awards for the Best Dementia Team!


After 3 years as Deputy Manager, I took on the role of  General Manager of Eastbourne Gardens. I strive every day to ensure we are and will always be a special place and a happy home. Our Residents are truly inspirational and make every day a joy. I am proud to be part of a passionate team that endeavours to lead the way as a centre of excellence in care. At Eastbourne Gardens, the sun is always shining.

I originally worked at Eastbourne Gardens from 2007 for just over 5 years before returning 10 years later. The things that have remained constant throughout that time are the dedication and unfaltering kindness my colleagues deliver every day. Every day is different, there is always something going on which makes you smile. We are committed to filling the resident's days with happy moments. My role is to market our home and welcome new residents into it while dealing with professionals and family members. Offering support when making a significant decision at a critical time. We have a beautiful product, lovely food, a great activities programme (including minibus outings) and caring staff, all coupled with happy residents and family members.

I have been a nurse for 20 years and before I left Romania I was the Occupational Health Nurse for a petroleum/chemical company. In 2010 I came to the UK and joined Eastbourne Gardens in 2012 as a Bank Nurse. I was so impressed with the beautiful environment, the calm and welcoming atmosphere and the Signature ethos of care that I joined the company as a full-time Wellness Nurse. In 2015 I stepped up for six months into the Nurse Care Manager role before being appointed permanently.


I enjoy leading a team of dedicated nurses and care assistants who want to ensure our residents' lives are fulfilled to the best of their abilities. No two days are the same and I enjoy caring for our seniors and seeing them flourish. It is so rewarding when new residents arrive and I watch them make friends and start enjoying the many activities on offer and the fabulous food as they become part of our family.

As a team, we help our residents to embrace each day to ensure it is filled with purpose and laughter. Every month we put on themed events that bring our residents together with their friends and families. I joined the home in January 2013 and every day is still filled with happy daily surprises.
