About Us
High Broom Care Home is a residential home in Crowborough, East Sussex, caring for older people, including people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of it, and we try to be clear about what it means. A rating describes how a place was found to be over a period of time. It is not a promise about next month. It was earned by staff doing ordinary things carefully and repeatedly, and it holds only while they carry on doing them.
Those things are not mysterious. Knowing each person properly, including the parts of their life that have nothing to do with care. Helping in a way that protects somebody's dignity. Noticing early when a person is unwell or unsettled. Making mealtimes something to look forward to. Adapting how we communicate where sight or hearing is affected. Being honest with families, particularly when something has gone wrong.
Respite stays are available. Anyone thinking about a move is very welcome to visit, more than once if it helps.
