About Us

The Whitebeach is a nursing home in St Leonards On Sea. We support older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing care, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays.

With nurses in the building we can take somebody whose health is uncertain and keep them, which is what most families are really asking about.

We work at keeping the nursing from setting the tone of the place. A nursing home can drift into feeling like a ward, and once it does the rest follows: people stop being asked what they would like, days lose any shape of their own, and relatives begin behaving like hospital visitors. So we keep our attention on ordinary things. Meals worth eating. Getting outside and down to the sea when the weather allows. Help without a long wait. Privacy. Being spoken to as somebody with a working life and a family.

For residents living with dementia we protect routine, keep surroundings familiar, and ask relatives for the details that let us understand what somebody means.

Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We try to run the place so that a surprise visit would not worry us.
