About Beechwood Grove
Beechwood Grove is a nursing home in Eastbourne providing care for adults who need qualified nursing support through the whole of the day and night. We look after people with health conditions that need regular clinical attention, people who have lost strength and confidence after illness, and people who want comfort, dignity and familiar company in their final weeks and months. The people who live here include older adults, those with dementia and people with physical disabilities, among them younger adults. We write each care plan with the person and their family, and we keep it current. Needs in a nursing home rarely stay still, and a plan that is six months out of date is of no use to anybody. We believe the texture of ordinary days is what makes a home good. Choices are offered at mealtimes and tastes are remembered. People get up and go to bed when it suits them. The day holds music, exercise, crafts, trips out and plenty of unstructured time, and nobody is required to take part in anything. Being in Eastbourne means the seafront is within easy reach, and an outing there is often the highlight of someone's week. Families are welcome at any hour and can share meals with their relatives or take them out for the afternoon. If you are considering a move, call in and see us. We will answer your questions honestly, including the ones about money.
