Introduction to Eridge House
Eridge House was built to a high specification as a family home in 1915. This, plus extensive, additional modern and purpose built accommodation now affords luxury en-suite bedrooms set over three floors whilst retaining the character of the original house.
Situated in over half an acre of land, this beautiful house now holds its purpose as Bexhill’s finest privately owned/run care home in the select residential area of West Bexhill. The home is family run, with many staff having been employed at Eridge House for several years.
Our philosophy is to provide a home where the resident feels safe, comfortable, well cared for and valued, delivered in a way that is personal to every resident. We strive to provide the highest standards of care, treating our residents as individuals, with respect and dignity at all times.
Personal Care
Here at Eridge House, we understand that moving into a care home can feel daunting for both you and your family. With this in mind, we encourage a trial period to help with the transition and to help you decide whether this is the right home for you. Our friendly and experienced management team will guide you through the moving process, ensuring you feel comfortable and in control of your care.
An assessment will be completed to ensure that we can meet your needs before you move in. A plan of your care is composed following assessment, this is written with you and will promote the choice of care you receive, reflecting your individual preferences. You will be given a named key worker who will work specifically with you. The role of the key worker is to develop a trusting and caring relationship with you and your family.
We are aware of the important role staff play in your welfare and we therefore employ staff with the relevant mix of skills to meet your needs. Our team receives regular training and in addition work towards achieving NVQ or diploma levels 2 to 5 in health and social care. We pride ourselves on upholding a management approach that creates an open, positive and inclusive atmosphere.
