About Hurstwood View

Hurstwood View is a nursing home in Uckfield, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults across East Sussex, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change quickly. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration before it becomes an emergency are the ordinary content of our days. We would far rather spot a problem on a Tuesday afternoon than deal with a crisis on a Saturday night. Good nursing is the foundation and not the purpose. The purpose is that somebody carries on being themselves while their health is looked after. So we ask before we act, we keep personal care private, we make visitors welcome at awkward hours, and we take the trouble to learn what a particular person would actually like to do with an afternoon. For residents with a physical disability, the right equipment and staff who know each individual's preferred way of transferring mean getting out of a room is never a question of staff convenience. With dementia we rely on familiar faces and an unhurried pace rather than correction. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and see us, speak to the nurses on duty, and ask about the hard nights as well as the easy afternoons.
