Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

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.

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.

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.

My husband was a resident at Abundant Grace for just over four years. The care and love that he received was excellent. From the very first day to the last, he was treated with respect. He was often taken out into the beautiful gardens which he loved. We as a family were always made to feel most welcome
and enjoyed time together. Thank you to everyone at Abundant Grace for all that you did and I'm sure continue to do so. Highly recommend.

My aunt and uncle are both residents at Abundant Grace. They have been since November 2022. They are both settled in their own very nice rooms on the first floor and are cared for with kindness and respect from all staff members, who have the utmost patience for everyone. Our aunt has Alzheimer's, and
our uncle has physical problems, but they both wanted to be together as they have been for the last 75+ years. But since being in Abundant Grace, they have both been safer, cared for, well fed and contented. They both love being in the garden when the sun is shining and do participate in the activities, of which there are many. We visit them both regularly, and we are welcomed by everyone. Thank you.

Choosing a Nursing Home is a difficult decision, but I am so glad that my father was cared for by Abundant Grace. The moment you step into their reception area you can sense it is a good place to be. Although my father was there for a relatively short time, we felt it was the best place to be for his
final weeks. All the staff, from cleaners to management, were so friendly, helpful and caring. My father was treated with empathy and respect, he felt very happy with the care he was given. Knowing my father was being looked after so well meant a lot to us and I wish to thank everyone at Abundant Grace for making such a sad time so much easier. I will never forget the care my father received and have no hesitation in recommending them as an excellent choice of Nursing Home.

I cannot thank Abundant Grace enough for taking in my dad at such short notice. The respect and care he received during his last few months was exceptional. Whenever I visited I always felt welcomed by their friendly staff. Whatever my dad needed they went out of their way to fulfill his needs to help
make him comfortable and happy as possible. Thanks to all at Abundant Grace.

My mum spent a few weeks towards the end of her life at Abundant Grace. She passed away on the 22nd October 2019 in total peace and comfort and was very well looked after by ALL at AG. All I can say is I wish we had found this lovely home earlier.
Thanks to all at AG for your kind and thoughtful support

I can only say that I wish we had found Abundant Grace earlier. My dad was treated with great kindness, respect and as a person, not a job. We had dad's birthday celebration in the Orangery which accommodated about 20 of us and were provided with never-ending tea, coffee and soft drinks. A wonderful
place set in beautiful grounds and staffed with compassionate, well-trained staff.

It was very unfortunate that my mother only lived a very short time at end of life at Abundance Grace. However, in the short time she was there, the staff were without exception, loving and so very caring in looking after my mum in her last few hours with such love and care. Having great respect for
her dignity and making sure she was pain-free.


The manager was amazing and should be very proud of every one of her staff, I can only of wished that Eastbourne Hospital had discharged my mum earlier so that her stay at Abundant Grace had been longer.

My relative, who has early onset Alzheimer's, has been so well and considerately cared for at the home. At first, she was much involved with the many stimulating activities; as the disease developed she may have lost interest in many of these, but she has remained content, and I have been so impressed
with the degree of care she receives. It has been such a relief for me to know how well she is, in a compassionate and dignified manner, and I am continually impressed with the degree of care and compassion shown by all staff.


I have also been impressed with the way in which the home keeps in touch with me. The home itself is well decorated and furnished with stimulating paintings, photographs of film stars, and scenic murals. The EMI unit has such a carefully designed shape, and the room is light and spacious with its en-suite facilities.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.551)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.551) out of 10 for Abundant Grace Nursing Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.655 for Abundant Grace Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.655

  • 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 4.896 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abundant Grace Nursing Home is based on 12 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.896

  • 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.
