About Bishops Corner

Here at Bishops Corner, we provide residential care for people in the heart of St Leonards On Sea, East Sussex. We support a range of individuals including younger adults, people with learning disabilities or autism, and those who may be experiencing difficulties with eating disorders. We also offer respite care for people who need a short break from their usual living situation, or whose families and carers need some time to rest. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make. We do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make Bishops Corner feel like a genuine home, somewhere people feel safe, respected, and understood rather than simply looked after. The people who live with us have varied needs and life experiences, and we try hard to get to know each person properly so that the support we offer actually fits their life. For those we support with learning disabilities or autism, we know how important consistency, familiarity, and clear communication are. We work with each person and the people closest to them to make sure routines and environments feel right, and that everyone has a real say in how their day to day life looks. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, which we are proud of. It reflects the genuine effort our team puts in day after day. That said, we are always looking at how we can do better and we welcome feedback from the people we support and their loved ones as part of that process. If you would like to find out more about whether Bishops Corner could be the right fit for you or someone you care about, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk things through.
