About Us

Here at Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre, we are a care home based in Hove, Brighton and Hove, providing residential care for older people, including those living with mental health needs. We are part of Brighton and Hove City Council's provision of care, and we take that responsibility seriously, working hard every day to make sure the people who live with us feel safe, respected and genuinely at home.

We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, both for the person coming to live with us and for their family and loved ones. Our approach is straightforward: we take the time to get to know each resident as an individual, understanding their history, their preferences and what matters most to them, so that the support we offer is shaped around them rather than the other way around.

Our team works closely with residents and their families to ensure that daily life here feels meaningful and comfortable. Whether that means maintaining routines that bring reassurance, supporting social connections, or simply being present and attentive, we aim to provide care that feels human and thoughtful rather than clinical or routine.

We are pleased to hold a "good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the commitment of our staff and the standards we hold ourselves to. We do not take that lightly, and we continue to look for ways to improve and listen to the people in our care and those close to them.

If you are considering Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre for yourself or someone you care about, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit us. We are always happy to have a conversation, answer questions and give you a proper sense of what life is like here in Hove.

More about the care at Brighton & Hove City Council - Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre

What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.

Older Person Care

Support for older people usually covers the ordinary but important parts of the day, from help with washing and dressing to prompts or administration of medication, meals eaten in company, and someone to talk to when the afternoon feels long. Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre is registered with the CQC for older person care and holds a good rating from its July 2021 inspection. Families considering the home should ask how morning and evening routines are shaped around individual preferences, how many staff are on duty overnight, and how call bells are answered when someone needs help in the small hours. It is also worth asking how changes in health are noticed and shared with GPs and relatives. Typical fees across the South East sit between around £1100 and £1450 a week, while Brighton and Hove council usually pays around £800 to £950.

Mental Health

Adults living with mental health conditions often do best where routine, familiar faces and quiet respect are the norm. Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre is registered to support residents with mental health needs alongside older person care. Families should ask what experience staff have with specific conditions, how low moods or episodes of distress are recognised, and how the home works with community mental health teams when extra support is needed.

Respite Care

Short stays at Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre are worth enquiring about well in advance, as rooms can be limited and minimum stays of one or two weeks are common in the sector. Pack usual medication, a few familiar clothes and something homely for the room. Respite can also serve as a gentle trial before any decision about permanent care, so ask what a typical week looks like and how the stay would be reviewed.

Residential Care

Residential care is aimed at people who need help with daily living rather than ongoing nursing from a registered nurse. That usually means support with personal care, laundry, cooked meals, medication prompts, and the social side of life, whether that is a chat over tea or a shared activity in a communal lounge. Nursing care, by contrast, is for people whose health needs require clinical oversight around the clock. Wayfield Avenue Resource Centre in Hove is registered for residential care as part of Brighton and Hove City Council's provision. Prospective residents may want to ask how meals and menus are planned, how activities are chosen, and what happens if someone's needs later grow beyond residential level. Regional weekly fees generally fall between £1100 and £1450, with the local council typically funding around £800 to £950.
