Bethune Court care home, St. Leonards on Sea

I have been very impressed by the high standard of care my Godmother has received since she has been at Bethune Court. She had a few age-related issues before she came in and all of these problems were dealt with very professionally and efficiently. The room she has is very nice with a large ensuite wet room. The room has a lovely view of the sea t… Read moreo Beachy Head which she really enjoys. The meals are very tasty and nutritious and the care staff picked up on a swallowing problem she had and called in the professionals to assess. All of the care staff and domestic staff are very friendly and attentive to her needs. The people in the office are also very approachable and happy to assist with any queries. To be honest, I was very worried about how my godmother would settle in as she was a little reluctant to leave her flat, but I have been very happily surprised that the transition has been no problem. I would highly recommend Bethune Court.

It was one of the hardest decisions and having to find the best care home for my mum, but over the past few years the staff at Bethune Court have been fantastic and understand my mum’s needs. I know she is safe and well looked after and when I visit my mum is happy and the staff very friendly. Great choice and highly recommended.

Excellent care home, highly satisfactory.

As an ex-care home manager, these two weeks of respite have been a wonderful experience, being the resident being cared for. The care home is clean, well organised, and the staff are very helpful, polite and efficient. The food is good and well-presented. I have enjoyed my two weeks. I used my time getting to know the residents and joining in the a… Read morectivities.

Mum has been to Bethune Court previously for a period of respite care. As always when we went to drop Mum off for this respite period she was welcomed back with open arms. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much bother. We had lunch in the dining room with Mum. We congratulated the cook on a lovely meal. The home is clean, moder… Read moren and well-equipped. Mum really enjoyed all the activities. Mum has some issues with her memory. When she comes back from her stay she is always more chatty and with it, leading us to think that she is regularly engaged with and stimulated when she is in the home. When Mum left all the staff were sorry to see her go and asked her to come back again soon. This was especially so for one young man who said that Mum was the nicest person he had ever met and that he would really miss her. The finance officer is such a great help and supports sorting out the payment required from social services, she really makes things easy.

The care provided by the staff at Bethune Court is excellent. I cannot fault the kindness and patience that they show to my mum and all of the residents. The home is clean, safe and secure. There is very much a can-do attitude and every attempt is made to keep all residents engaged regardless of their level of need. I would not hesitate to recommen… Read mored the home and in fact, I have done so.
