Budgeting for this home

We estimate Abbots Wood Manor at £1,790–£2,190 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region (Hamberley homes publish prices a little above their area average). Over a year that is roughly £93k–£114k.

If nursing care is needed, the NHS pays a weekly NHS-funded nursing care contribution directly to the home, whoever pays the rest.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), East Sussex Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.

What the ratings tell you

Abbots Wood Manor has an even profile: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are each rated Good.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 172 of the 260 other care homes in East Sussex that CQC has rated.

How it fits locally

There are 15 other care homes within 3 miles, 8 of them rated Good or Outstanding; the nearest is Grangemead, under 0.5 miles away.

14 of the 23 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.

It sits in Hailsham North West ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 30% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (7 min), a shop (5 min), a park (9 min) and a bus stop (1 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

The inspection, summarised

  • Systems were in place to assess risk and people were protected from the risk of abuse.
  • People received safe and appropriate care as staff had the skills and training to meet people's individual health needs.
  • Staffing levels were good, and people told us staff were always available when they needed them.
  • Recruitment was ongoing and staffing levels were regularly reviewed.
