    Testimonials

    All testimonials
  • Such outstanding staff that continuously smiled

    My mother was admitted in July 2022 and died in November 2022.

    We feel she was in the best place for the few months that she was in their care. I could not have been more pleased with the care she got at Hailsham House. The staff were exceptional, and all involved in her care were wonderful to her. 

    Always showing their best to her. I am sure it wasn’t easy as my mother was not necessarily an easy person to get on. It was reassuring to have such outstanding staff that continuously smiled and went out of their way to be helpful to her.

    I am eternally grateful to Hailsham House for making her last days comfortable. What more could be asked for?
