I found all the staff very polite and helpful, caring for my father. All the managers were easy to talk to and understanding and did whatever they could to help me and my father's situation.

What an amazing place - the staff are exceptional - so friendly. The house is always clean and fresh smelling - unlike other places I have visited in the past. My friend always looks well-dressed and is happy here - I was offered a drink as soon as I arrived and was even invited for lunch. It was really nice to see so much activity, residents were playing board games around the tables and there was plenty of laughing and joking between them. A really nice home and one I would recommend.

My mum moved into Blair House Care Home back in May 2023, it was a huge relief to my sister and I. From the first day we visited, we felt the staff were very caring. Unfortunately, my mum passed away on 04/10/2023. I cannot thank the manager and staff enough. They were always friendly welcoming and very patient. The care my mum was given was first-class right until the end, I felt she passed away with respect and dignity. A care home is only as good as the staff who work there, Blair House has impeccable staff! Thank you Blair House family.

Always book Mum here when we go on holiday, she considers it her holiday. Mum has early onset Alzheimer's so gets a little confused with any change in her routine, the staff here always make sure she is comfortable and feels totally home from home - she loves going here. She says the food is amazing, all home cooked and plenty of it - a real strong point in her view. The home is always very clean and never have I been there and experienced 'that' smell you so often get from other care homes. My only small criticism is some of the rooms and furniture is a little dated and could do with a bit of a spruce up.

Welcoming staff who really seem to care for their residents. Lovely garden area, regular entertainment, tea, coffee offered as soon as you arrive or lunch if you are staying a little longer.

A big thank you to management and all the staff, both upstairs and downstairs, not forgetting the night staff, for looking after Mum in her final years and especially her final few days with the care she was given which was outstanding. Also, for making us very welcome as part of the Blair House family, it has been a privilege to know you all. If anybody has doubt about placing a loved one in care and are local to Hastings, Blair House is the place, it's not the building but the people inside that make it. Thank you very much again, see you soon.

When my husband was accepted into Blair House in 2022, it was a huge relief, as I had been his carer since his dementia was diagnosed in 2016. Fortunately, he settled well. The manager is very understanding and approachable, always ready to discuss any issues I had relating to his care. She has gathered together a team of dedicated, compassionate and respectful carers who are continuously alert to personal needs, with reassuring words to calm any fears of anxiety. Sadly, my husband passed away recently., but I give a heartfelt thank you to the staff who cared for him with great love and compassion. They became like a second family helping us through a heartbreaking time.

I can't thank the management and staff for all their care for my father. Having visited several times while he was in their care, and even after he passed away, always found everyone helpful and friendly. I would recommend Blair House and all the staff to anyone. I was so pleased my father spent his last days here. Thank you for all your help and support.

My father is in safe hands and very well cared for.

Visited for the first time in a year, and the changes have been incredible. The home is clean, bright and cheerful. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I was offered a drink instantly. I understand the home has a new manager, and they have obviously made a lot of difference. I could see all the residents were looked after really well, staff and residents were happy and sociable. The home had a really good vibe.

My brother has lived at Blair House Care Home for many years. He is very happy there and said how much nicer it is at Blair House than where he has lived previously. He especially enjoys the garden. The care/support he receives is very good. I think the staff treat the residents with dignity. The staff are friendly and approachable. I have had lunch there is it was good. The manager was helpful when I needed some advice. Blair House is a clean, friendly care home.

Mum moved to Blair House three weeks ago. It was going to be difficult for me to put her into a residential for many emotional reasons and she didn't really want to be there even though she needed twenty-four-hour care. But now she is already starting to feel at home and settled. The staff are kind and friendly. Mum looks cleaner and tidier than she's looked for a while and she is very well-fed. Her room is nice and sunny and has been made personal.

The care manager and staff seem very kind, caring and patient with the residents. My friend seems relatively settled though she has only been a resident for a few months. The furnishings are practical for the type of home.

Our daughter and I have found Blair House to be very cosy and friendly which is what we were looking for. He loves the music playing and T.V which is so good for him. We are very happy to have found this home as it's nice and small.

A friendly place, excellent food and in general, the care is good. The manager couldn't be any better, going that extra mile. I don't have much contact with the deputy manager, but she carries out her duties efficiently. In spite of being so very busy, the carers are kind and there whenever necessary. The medication is given at the appropriate time and there is somebody there until it has been taken. Some carers are better than others but that is only to be expected.

I am very impressed with all the carers. They have shown my husband, love and a lot of care, all the time he has been at the home. These last few weeks he has been very poorly but all care and attention were given to him with a lot of dignity.

The quality of care my father has received is outstanding in every way. The carers are so thoughtful and show such kindness, he has praised them to me and I have seen it for myself. A lovely team of outstanding carers.

The home looks clean and homely. I have not been inside because of lockdown. The gardens and conservatory are pleasant and enjoyed by residents. I can't say about some things as COVID has occurred. It is a well run and caring home.

During the 6 years, I have been at Blair House I've been very happy and treated with much kindness and much help. All the staff are very friendly and I think of them as my second family. There is so much going on here that I really enjoy and I love all the entertainment etc. I try to take part in all the activities thank you.

I find it relaxing, the staff are nice caring for my mum and dad. I get on well with the residents and they get on with my dad.
