On 30th October I was visiting my brother and there was a celebrity impersonator entertaining the residents. The residents and staff were really enjoying the entertainment. He was excellent, some of the ladies got up to dance with help from staff. The look on these ladies' faces was pure joy to observe, the way they came alive and sang and danced. The entertainment lady works so hard to help the clients. Also, she had beautifully dressed the dining room for Halloween.

My aunty has been in Orchard House for many years. It is always so clean and smells really nice. The staff are amazing.

We have had wonderful experiences when visiting our relative who has been in this care home for some months. We often take our child and the staff are warm and welcoming to us and let him take part in the activities as well to keep him amused as he is so young. There has been exceptional care in relation to my relative's dietary needs as eating has become more difficult but they ensure she is able to eat proper meals and have the right nutrition. Overall I would recommend this place to others.

Orchard House takes great care of my nan who was admitted earlier this year. The staff treat her wonderfully and are always there to make sure she is well fed, hydrated, clothed, kept company and more. Cannot recommend this place enough.

My mother has been at Orchard House for around six months. This was the first place we looked at and were so impressed that we made the decision then and there. The manager and her team are 100% focused on the residents in every way imaginable, therefore we, the families, need not worry at all. It is always clean and tidy, the residents are fed home-cooked nutritious food and are looked after in every personal way. There are many activities so the residents aren't just sleeping bored in a chair - Mum is very stimulated and happy and is grateful for the company, particularly the staff. We are kept informed about anything relating to Mum's care and we're grateful. I highly recommend this home.

No complaints about either the staff or your cook's meals. Appreciate the long opening times though I hope never to turn up before 11-00hrs or come after seven hours.

My mum was in Orchard House for some years with dementia and she was cared for extremely well. She was very happy and the team of staff looked after her brilliantly. She became very ill and had end-of-life care and the team was marvellous. They were always there for her every need.

My step-mum has been diagnosed with double dementia, but is still very aware of her surroundings, and loves a good politics or current affairs discussion! The staff are lovely and can't do enough for the residents, who all seem happy and kept motivated. My step-mum says the food is good, and the surroundings and garden are light and pleasant. I have no problem with recommending this care home.

My friend came to Orchard House, and I found the whole process very easy from getting assessed to getting her in. The office staff were lovely and helped me so much. The care staff all seemed happy and friendly. She was very happy there. Would recommend to anyone looking for future care.

My aunt has been a resident for nearly a year now. She can be difficult at times to manage due to her developing Dementia and Alzheimer’s. The staff are all really good with her, and they have a great portfolio of activities daily to keep them all occupied and engaged with both staff and other residents. The food always looks nice, and she is always clean, and her clothes are clean. The staff are all friendly and welcoming when I visit, and the senior staff keep me in the loop with her health and any incidents. They are very proactive in both her physical and mental health and well-being. I feel confident of leaving her in their care.

My mother moved into Orchard House in September, a move that she has found very difficult to accept due to her dementia. Throughout this period, the staff at the home have managed to deal with her difficult behaviour with care and compassion. As a result, my mother does now appear to be settling and even showing signs of being happy! The staff at the home are all caring and friendly, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking to make the difficult decision to find a home for their loved one.

Extremely happy with the care given to my mother. All the staff are friendly, supportive and attentive to Mum and us as a family. Cannot fault the care and facilities. A very homely environment with wonderful home-cooked food.

Twelve months ago I had the agonising decision, as my mum's legal Power of Attorney, to find her a new care home as I'd been advised that her present home was closing. After a lot of research online, as I live 240 miles away from Bexhill, I found Orchard House. From the first time I spoke to the manager on the phone, I knew this would be the right place for my mum, who is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. I met the manager and her staff for the first time on the day that Mum moved there and we had the warmest of welcomes, it was a home-from-home experience. I instantly knew this would be the right place for my mum to live and to be cared for. I cannot fault the care my mum receives, no stone is ever left unturned which gives me great comfort as I live so far away. This home has a warm and caring atmosphere which transmits to the residents and their relatives and friends. It is a happy and secure place and my mum's care, whether it's personal care or social care is second to none.

From the first time of visiting the home when we were looking for residential care to when my husband became a resident. I have been more than satisfied with the care and support that is given to him, and myself, by the very caring staff.

I have been a resident here for some time and I love it. I have made so many friends, staff are very caring. Activities are enjoyable.

I would definitely recommend Orchard House Residential Dementia & EMI Care Home. My mum is happy and content. The quality of care is high and the staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. Orchard House Residential Dementia & EMI Care Home is a comfortable home from home.

In these difficult times I have been very pleased with the care Mum has received. However, since being in the care home Mum has become frail and does not leave her bed. I understand there are some difficulties in moving her to the lounge but not being socialized with other residents is having a negative effect on her mental and physical ability.
29 November 2021
Since moving into Orchard House Residential Dementia & EMI Care Home my mother has gone from strength to strength. She is more settled than at home, which is testament to the care and attention of the staff. She seems to be enjoying the food and activities on offer.
12 May 2021
My mother went into Orchard House in February this year. I have been amazed at how well she has settled in and this is all due to the kindness and patience of the wonderful staff. I cannot fault anything at all even during this particularly difficult time of lockdown. It has taken such a load off my mind knowing that she is happy. And she said the food is lovely!
30 March 2021
I would highly recommend Orchard House care home. The staff have been superb in dealing with the ongoing problems caused during the pandemic, including the upkeep of communication to family members of residents, a priority. There is always an exceptional homely, family feeling and the staff are happy, friendly and extremely compassionate to all the residents' needs. My Uncle went to Orchard House initially for respite care, he now resides on a permanent basis and is very comfortable and content. The food is very good quality and the menu always varied. There is a diverse range of daily activities to stimulate the residents and also different events throughout the year for family and friends to come together. As a family, we are delighted to have found Orchard House and as previously said; it comes highly recommended.
