About Prideaux Manor
Prideaux Manor is a residential care home in Polegate, East Sussex, providing care for older people, including people living with dementia, along with shorter respite stays. We are a home rather than an institution and we put effort into keeping that true. People here get up when they wake, eat what they like, and pass the day as they choose. There is company and activity for those who want it and no obligation at all for those who would rather have a quiet corner and a book. The care covers help with washing and dressing, prompting and administering medication, meals cooked on the premises, support with mobility, and somebody always about when a person needs them. For those living with dementia we hold to a steady routine and familiar staff, and we arrange the house so that it is easy to make sense of. Families are welcome whenever they wish to come, and we would much rather hear a worry early than have it go unsaid. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
