About Filsham Lodge
Filsham Lodge is a nursing home in Hailsham, East Sussex, with registered nurses on duty at all hours. We care for older people and younger adults with nursing needs, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with loss of sight or hearing, and people living with mental health conditions. We want to be honest with you about our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is requires improvement. We are not going to tuck it away. We understand what was raised, we have a plan of work in progress covering staffing and supervision, record keeping and the involvement of families in decisions, and we would much rather you asked us about it directly than formed a view without speaking to us. The nursing and care work continues as it should. That means management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help with eating and drinking, careful oversight of medication, and for people living with dementia the steady routines and familiar faces that genuinely settle a day. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Visitors are welcome, and we would always rather hear a concern early than late. Please come and see us.
