About Woodside Hall Nursing Home
Woodside Hall Nursing Home is in Hailsham, East Sussex. We care for older people who need registered nursing as well as help with daily living, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Having nurses on duty at any hour is what allows us to support people whose needs are genuinely complex. It means managing medication, skin and pressure care, continence, nutrition and mobility, and keeping a steady eye on health so that a change is noticed early rather than becoming an emergency. Where somebody is nearing the end of their life, it means we can keep them comfortable among people who know them. The clinical side is only half the story. It is easy for a nursing home to become a place where everything happens to people and nothing is decided by them, and we work against that. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who visits. For people with a physical disability, time is the thing that matters most. Transfers, positioning and personal care all take as long as they take, and rushing is where dignity and safety are both lost. Respite and short stays are available, including after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us to arrange a visit to Woodside Hall.
