Highbury House Nursing Home

About Us

We at Highbury House Nursing Home are proud to offer compassionate nursing care and specialist dementia support in the coastal village of Rottingdean, within the wider Brighton and Hove community. Our home provides a warm, welcoming environment for older people who need dedicated round the clock nursing and personalised care.

Nestled in one of the South East's most charming seaside villages, Highbury House benefits from the peaceful character of Rottingdean whilst remaining well connected to the vibrant amenities of Brighton and Hove. The coastal setting offers residents fresh sea air, gentle surroundings, and a strong sense of community that so many families value when choosing a long term home for their loved one.

Our specialisms reflect the breadth of care we provide. We support older people living with a range of needs, including those requiring skilled nursing care, dementia care, and mental health support. We also welcome residents with physical disabilities and those living with visual or hearing impairments, tailoring our approach so that every individual can continue to live with dignity, comfort, and as much independence as possible. For families needing shorter term support, our respite care offers a trusted place for loved ones to stay, whether following a hospital discharge, during a carer's holiday, or simply to trial residential life in a supportive setting.

In practice, this means our team takes the time to understand each resident as a person, not just a set of care needs. We work closely with families to build a picture of routines, preferences, life stories, and the small things that bring comfort and joy. For those living with dementia, familiar routines and gentle reassurance can make an enormous difference, and our approach is grounded in patience, kindness, and clinical expertise.

Families can also take reassurance from our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, dated 9 September 2025, in which Highbury House was rated Good overall. We also achieved a Good rating across every one of the five key domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent recognition reflects the dedication of our team and the standards we hold ourselves to every single day, giving families confidence that their loved one is in capable and caring hands.

Choosing a nursing home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the emotions that come with it. We warmly invite you to get in touch with Highbury House Nursing Home to learn more about how we can support your loved one. Whether you are exploring options for the future or need care sooner, our door is open and our team is ready to listen.
