A modern facility with beautiful furnishing and decor. Staff are very caring, and patient and encourage her to take part in activities. They have made my mother feel very welcome and cared for. After a few months she feels very much at home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

I would not recommend Willingdon Park Manor thanks to the appalling level of care Mum received during her respite stay. The level of care was not of a high standard and was anything but attentive. There was no proactive care plan and the staff lacked training. Despite Mum's vulnerable state she was
rarely checked before 10.30am and had to ask for everything including help to get up, have a shower (the showers flooded during use), get her bed made and laundry collected. Of particular concern was the mismanagement of a number of important clinical matters including confusion in the dispensing of Mum's medication necessitating multiple interventions by her family to ensure she received the correct tablets/doses and similar confusion in the handling of her medical paperwork. The home also failed to make an emergency same day GP appointment despite promising us this would be done. As a result we had to remove Mum from the home as we were so concerned about her safety and wellbeing.

Reply from Ian Cole, General Manager at Hallmark Willingdon Park Manor

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear your mother's stay didn't meet your expectations. Please rest assured that the wellbeing and safety of our residents are our highest priorities, and we're committed to addressing any concerns that arise. Your mother personally expressed her appreciation for the care she received and shared that her move was to be closer to friends who couldn't travel. We thoroughly reviewed the points raised and our investigation indicated most claims could not be substantiated. Regarding medication management, we strictly follow the prescriptions and medical guidance provided by GPs and hospital staff to ensure residents' safety and our records confirm that all protocols were followed. While we respect your family's decision not to proceed with the second stage of our complaints process, please do contact us directly if you wish to discuss your concerns further. We sincerely wish your mother happiness in her new home. Ian Cole, General Manager

Willingdon Park Manor is an outstanding nursing home on every level in our experience. My father became a resident in May 2024 as we felt the facilities and approach to looking after someone with dementia were a world away from the care he was receiving at a nursing home nearby.
From the very start,
one of the wonderful care team made him her pet project and was determined to get him moving and engaging with things. My father was a very bright, commercial man with interests in history, world affairs and mountaineering. His dementia made him very frustrated and therefore he could be challenging to look after. None of this daunted the team - in fact it made him more interesting to them as they all sought to build a relationship with him and find things to engage him.
When we reached his final weeks, the whole community at Willingdon Park wrapped their arms around us and him to ensure he had a peaceful and comfortable death, surrounded by love. We couldn't have asked for more.

I would highly recommend Willingdon Park Manor. My mother has been cared for with respect and compassion by staff who always find time to listen and respond to residents' needs. Mum may not have chosen to use many of the luxuries available, such as the cocktail bar, cinema and massage treatments, but
she and her visitors certainly enjoyed being served freshly baked scones or cakes with coffee every day in the cafe!
Constructive feedback is actively asked for from residents and relatives, and Mum was pleased that there was a prompt response and resolution to an issue raised. Thank you to all at Willingdon Park Manor.

My husband, who has dementia, came in the nursing home on 12th May this year. Since then, he has been very well looked after by all the staff, who are without exception, very kind and caring and treat him as an individual. His health is closely monitored and his bedroom and surroundings are very comfortable.
He also enjoys using the reception area with its café, and weather permitting, sitting in the garden. My family and I feel very happy with the nursing home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved in at the end of August, coming from a care home where the level of social and personal care was not the best.
We would visit her in the old place and nearly every day, she would be crying, distressed, and feeling isolated in her room.
The first few days at Willingdon Park Manor were
spent getting to know the team. Everyone, all of the staff on Mum's floor stopped in to introduce themselves as they walked past. Everyone. It's like a big family atmosphere.
Now, when we visit, Mum is 'out and about', I'd say half of her day is spent socializing, taking part in an activity or having a meal in one of the dining areas.
In the six weeks she has been there, she's got colour back in her cheeks, she laughs more than she cries (if she cries at all now), her nightmares have stopped and she has friends again.
Add all of that to a place that is thoughtfully designed, beautifully decorated and with lovely nurses... we are more than impressed.

My mum moved here in August from another home where her needs weren't being met.
She's been here about 6 weeks and the transformation in her is amazing!
She's a lot less anxious , she's being looked after so well and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They're engaging with her and she's actually
joining in and enjoying a lot of the activities which is a joy to see. I know that if I don't visit, she will have a good day with lovely people.
All of the staff are really friendly and genuinely care about the residents and their families.
The food is really excellent too and there are always fresh cakes and things in the cafe if you're peckish. There are two fabulous ladies that do her hair and nails each week, which is included in the fee.
I've visited a lot of care homes in my time and this one is perfect in every way I can think of.
I think everyone deserves to live somewhere like this if they're in care.

I visted my friend each afternoon for a week whilst staying nearby. I was immediately impressed with the environment both inside and out, plus the facilities available. The staff seemed genuinely caring and I never got the impression that this was just a job to them.
Equally as impressive was the care
and concern afforded to me a visitor, when I became upset. This is a haven of all that anyone could ever need during challenging times.

Finding the right home for a loved relative was made easy for us by the staff and facilities at Willingdon Park Manor.
Experts have clearly been involved in the planning and construction of the home - the attention to detail in comfort, design, and finish is faultless and the staff is professional,
warm, approachable, friendly, and caring.
The home affords a) residents genuine sanctuary and b) visitors the immediate assurance that relatives are genuinely cared for and appreciated.
On entering WPM for the first time our Mother did not want to leave and it is easy to see, sense, and understand why.
Everything, literally everything has been thought of - from the garden and the planting, through to the lighting, the decor, the ambiance, and the surrounds - nothing is out of place or missing. Everything has a purpose and is provided for a reason.
Summary: WPM is a genuine home for residents and their families - the perfect venue and environment to enjoy and celebrate later living.

My dad had been at another local care home in Eastbourne where the standards have been slipping over recent months. We went to see Willingdon Park Manor together to see if he liked it, and he loved it and wanted to move in as soon as possible!
He has only been there for 3 weeks at this stage, but he
is incredibly happy, and said it is 'indescribably better' than the last place (a place which claims to be 'outstanding' but isn't).
Willingdon Park Manor is absolutely beautiful, like a five-star hotel. It is stunningly decorated, and beautifully laid out, with wonderful facilities and services, amazing staff and thoughtful care.
Dad says that the staff are brilliant, the food is excellent and beautifully presented, the environment is lovely, and the care is fantastic!
The staff have been incredibly helpful, friendly and responsive, and the whole team could not be nicer.
Overall, I give it 5/5 on every measure, and I can sleep easier at night now knowing Dad is happy and well looked after.

I needed a Care Home with an immediate vacancy where my mum would be safe, comfortable, well cared for and happy.
Willingdon Park Manor is decorated and furnished to a very high standard but maintains a homely feel. The bedrooms, the great variety of indoor shared areas and the gardens are beautiful.
The staff team is friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, proud to be part of the team and treat everyone with dignity and respect.
After 20+ years of living alone and being fiercely independent, Mum was a little slow to settle in. They understood this and reassured her and spoke with me to see if together we could find ways to help her adjust. She is now safe, comfortable, well cared for, happy and loving life, having her hair and nails done every week, participating in the activities arranged every day and enjoying the excellent food and varied and imaginative menus.
Willingdon Park Manor and the team are amazing and I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

(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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 19 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.

Ian Cole

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2013

I am incredibly proud to be the General Manager for Hallmark Care Homes’ amazing new home, Willingdon Park Manor. I have worked in adult social care for fifteen years, during which time I achieved an Outstanding rating for an Acquired Brain Injuries home in Eastbourne. I have been at Hallmark Care Homes for nine years, where my most recent role was General Manager at our Brighton care home, Maycroft Manor.


Willingdon Park Manor is a beautiful 85-bed home, which is being built with the latest award-winning design innovations that Hallmark Care Homes has been recognised for. The team and I are so proud to be part of this amazing project and cannot wait to show everyone this amazing home.
