About Us

The Seagulls is a care home in Brighton providing residential care for older people and for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. Some of our residents are living with dementia, we support younger adults, and we offer respite stays.

A house with that mix of people cannot be run on one routine and we do not attempt it. What we hold in common is simple enough: nobody should have to bend themselves to fit the building. Meals, bedtimes, help with washing and dressing, going out, staying in, visitors at odd hours. All of it works better arranged around the person.

Where dementia and a learning disability occur together, which is more common than people expect, care needs to be patient and consistent rather than ingenious, and the team has to know the individual well enough to spot changes early. Keeping staff for the long term is therefore the thing we work hardest at.

Brighton is a good city to live in and we make sure residents are part of it rather than observers of it. Getting out, keeping friendships going and seeing family are treated as part of the support.

Respite stays are prepared with visits beforehand.

The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Come and see the house on a normal day and talk to the people who live here.

Answered from the CQC register where we can. 5 of these the home has not told us yet, so ask when you call.

Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?

Yes. The Seagulls is registered for dementia care, so someone whose needs increase can usually stay rather than move. Ask how they support people in the later stages. Source: CQC register

Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?

No. The Seagulls is a residential care home without on-site nursing. District nurses and GPs visit, but someone who needs daily nursing may have to move to a nursing home. Source: CQC register

Can they try a short stay before deciding?

Ask the home. End of life care is not listed on the register. Ask the manager whether residents can remain in the home with hospice or district nurse support.

Can a couple stay together?

Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.

Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?

Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.
