About Crescent House
Crescent House is a care home in Hove, providing residential care for older people, with respite stays available as well. We are a residential home and we are straightforward about what that means. We offer skilled, patient help with the business of everyday life: getting up and dressed, medicines, good food, company when it is wanted, and somewhere quiet when it is not. Where somebody's health needs move beyond what a residential home can properly meet, we say so early and help the family think it through rather than letting a situation drift. The character of a home comes from its staff more than its decor, so keeping a steady team is where most of our effort goes. When people stay, they learn that one resident likes to be left alone until ten and another is anxious if the routine shifts, and care becomes a matter of knowing rather than checking. Hove is a good place to grow old in. The sea front, the shops, visitors who can drop in without a major journey. We make sure residents get out into it rather than watching it from a window. Respite stays suit families needing a break and people regaining strength after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on a normal day, talk to whoever you like and form your own view.
