About Walstead Place Care Home
Walstead Place Care Home is a residential care home in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. We are home to older people who need support with daily life and to younger adults who need residential care, and we welcome people for respite stays. We take the settling in period slowly, because moving into a care home usually follows a difficult stretch and nobody does their best in a rush. We ask about the routines of a lifetime, the food someone actually likes, whether they are an early riser or would rather have a lie in, and we build around that instead of expecting people to adapt to us. Rooms belong to the people in them, furnished with their own things, and we knock before we come in. Days are unhurried. Some residents want company, conversation and a trip out, others want the paper and peace, and both are entirely reasonable. Our team stays settled, which means residents are cared for by people who know them and that changes in health or mood get noticed early. We work with local GPs and community nurses so that problems are dealt with before they become urgent. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We are registered with them and inspected against their standards, and we are glad to talk through our own quality checks. Please come and visit us in Haywards Heath.
