About Palm Court Nursing Home
We are Palm Court Nursing Home in Eastbourne. We provide nursing care for adults who need qualified clinical support alongside help with daily living, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we take respite admissions for short planned stays. Nurses are on duty here so that health needs are managed in the place people live. That covers medication, pressure area and wound care, continence support, monitoring of long term conditions and compassionate care at the end of life, alongside close working with local general practitioners, therapists and community teams. For residents with dementia we keep the day predictable, use familiar routines and follow the person rather than correcting them, and we ask families to tell us about the life someone lived before they came to us, because that knowledge is genuinely useful on a difficult afternoon. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather name that plainly than let you find it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified, we have a plan we are working through with our staff and with the professionals who place people with us, and we are willing to talk through the detail with anyone considering the home. The best way to judge a nursing home is to walk into it unannounced and see how people are being spoken to. We would encourage you to come and do exactly that, ask hard questions and make up your own mind.
