About Lauriston

We at Lauriston are proud to offer compassionate nursing home care in the heart of St Leonards On Sea, East Sussex. As a dedicated nursing home, we provide skilled support for older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia, all within a warm and welcoming environment that feels like home. Nestled in the coastal town of St Leonards On Sea, our home benefits from the calm and restorative atmosphere of this much loved part of the South East. The TN postcode area is well known for its blend of seaside charm and accessible local amenities, making it a comforting setting for residents and a convenient location for visiting family and friends. Our surroundings allow residents to enjoy a sense of place and community whilst receiving the attentive care they need. Within Lauriston, we focus on creating a calm, homely environment where residents feel safe, valued, and listened to. Our team is experienced in delivering round the clock nursing care, which means that residents with complex health needs can rely on qualified professionals to manage medical requirements with skill and sensitivity. For older people seeking a supportive place to call home, we offer personalised care that respects individual routines, preferences, and life histories. Dementia care is a particularly important part of what we do. We understand how challenging a dementia diagnosis can be, not only for the person living with the condition but also for those who love them. Our approach centres on dignity, patience, and meaningful engagement, helping residents to feel reassured and understood at every stage of their journey. We work closely with families to share insights, offer guidance, and create care plans that reflect each resident's unique story. We also welcome younger adults who require nursing support, recognising that care needs are not defined by age alone. Our team takes time to understand the goals, interests, and aspirations of younger residents, ensuring that their daily lives are enriched and that they feel genuinely at home with us. Following our most recent CQC inspection in November 2022, Lauriston was awarded an overall rating of Good. We are particularly pleased that inspectors rated us Good across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains, recognising the quality of the support we provide and the warmth of our team. The Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we have taken this feedback seriously as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance. We believe in being open about our journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement so that every resident and family can have full confidence in the care we deliver. Choosing a nursing home for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the care, thought, and emotion that goes into it. At Lauriston, we are here to listen, to answer your questions, and to walk alongside you as you explore the right path forward. We warmly invite families to get in touch, learn more about our home, and discover the compassionate, professional support that defines life with us in St Leonards On Sea.
