About The Laurels Care Centre
Here at The Laurels Care Centre in Hastings, East Sussex, we provide nursing home care for a wide range of individuals, including older adults, younger adults living with physical disabilities, and those with visual or hearing impairments. We also offer specialist dementia care and respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family can make, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team works hard every day to ensure that the people in our care feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely at home. We try to get to know each person as an individual, understanding their preferences, routines, and what matters most to them, so that the care we provide is personal rather than one size fits all. Our nursing care is available around the clock, giving residents and their loved ones peace of mind that clinical support is always on hand. Alongside our nursing team, we have care staff who focus on the day to day wellbeing of everyone who lives with us, whether that means a quiet conversation over a cup of tea or help with daily activities. We are open about the fact that our most recent Care Quality Commission rating reflects areas where we need to do better, and we are actively working through those improvements. We think it is important to be honest with families about where we are on that journey rather than paper over the cracks. The people who live here deserve high quality care, and we hold ourselves to account for achieving it. If you would like to find out more about The Laurels Care Centre or arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you.
