About Westerleigh Nursing Home
Here at Westerleigh Nursing Home, we provide nursing and residential care for older people in the heart of Seaford, East Sussex. We are a nursing home in the truest sense, meaning we have the clinical expertise on site to support people with complex health needs alongside those who simply need a caring, comfortable place to call home. Our team supports people living with dementia, physical disabilities and a range of age related conditions. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give family carers some time to rest. Whatever brings someone to us, we try to make the transition as straightforward and reassuring as possible. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good. That matters to us, not as a badge to display, but as confirmation that the people in our care are being looked after properly and that families can trust us with someone they love. We take that responsibility seriously every single day. Life at Westerleigh is shaped around the people who live here. We get to know each resident as an individual, understanding their history, their preferences and what makes them feel at ease. Care plans are built around the person rather than a routine, and we review them regularly as needs change over time. Families are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay involved in the lives of their loved ones. Open, honest communication with relatives is something we genuinely value, and our team is always available to answer questions or talk things through. If you would like to find out more about what we offer or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We would be very glad to hear from you.
