About Hurstwood View
Hurstwood View is a nursing home in Uckfield, East Sussex. We care for older people and younger adults who need skilled nursing, for people living with dementia and for adults with physical disabilities, and we take respite bookings for people who need a stay of a few weeks. Having qualified nurses on duty at all hours means we can look after people whose health needs are considerable, and usually manage a period of illness here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Our care staff work alongside the nursing team and know people well enough to notice when somebody is not their usual self before it becomes urgent. We put as much effort into keeping this somewhere people live. Rooms are people's own, filled with their own furniture and photographs. The day has a shape without being a timetable, and nobody is obliged to join in with anything, though there is usually something worth joining. For people living with dementia we keep surroundings calm and familiar, learn about earlier lives so conversation has somewhere to go, and train staff to work with how somebody experiences the world rather than correcting them. Where someone is approaching the end of their life, we plan for it honestly and in their own words, well in advance. Families are welcome and are part of how decisions get made. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please ring if you would like to look round.
