About Us
Whitebriars Care Home is a residential care home in Bexhill on Sea. We look after older people who have reached the point where living alone has become hard work, and our aim is to take away the difficulty without taking away the person.
Much of our work is with people living with dementia. That means paying attention to the small things that hold a day together, familiar routines, the same faces, meals at the times someone is used to, and the patience to let a conversation take the time it takes. We also support younger adults who need residential care, and we welcome people for respite stays when a family carer needs a rest or someone is recovering after a spell in hospital.
Life here is meant to feel ordinary. People get up when they wake, eat what they actually like, and spend the day as they choose, whether that is in company or quietly with a newspaper. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would far rather have relatives in and out of the building than visiting formally.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. It matters to us, though the better test is whether a person seems settled here after a few weeks, and that is the question we keep asking ourselves.
If you would like to look round, please ring us and come at a time that suits you. We are happy for you to see the home on an ordinary day.
