About Evergreen
Evergreen is a nursing home in Hastings, East Sussex. We support older people whose needs include nursing care, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses as part of the team means people whose health needs are complex can stay with us as those needs change rather than having to move on again. Families who have already been through one difficult move usually recognise the value of that immediately. We work at keeping the nursing from setting the tone of the place. A nursing home can drift into feeling like a ward, and once it does the rest follows: people stop being asked what they would like, days lose any shape of their own, and relatives begin behaving like hospital visitors. So we keep our attention on ordinary things. Meals worth eating. Getting outside when the weather allows. Help without a long wait. Privacy. Being spoken to as somebody with a working life and a family rather than as a set of conditions. Something we also try to get right is how we talk to families. We keep them in the picture when health changes, and we would rather ring with something small than let a relative discover it on a visit. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Nobody here treats that as permission to stop paying attention.
