Known for its peaceful atmosphere and seaside charm, Eastbourne is a popular choice for high-quality later-life care. Whether you're searching for a luxurious care home with seafront views or somewhere peaceful with exceptional specialist support, Eastbourne blends comfort, clinical excellence, and warm companionship.
These homes go beyond simply meeting daily needs. Many feature en-suite bedrooms, sensory gardens, sea views, and daily activities such as baking, crafts, live music and seasonal celebrations. Each of the homes listed above is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and has been carefully reviewed by our in-house Care Experts. Many are rated ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ - the highest ratings available, including Eastbourne Gardens which is managed by Avery Collection.
Care is available for daily personal care needs, dementia, and other complex conditions. If your loved one needs 24/7 nursing support, Hallmark Willingdon Park Manor offers tailored support delivered by experienced care teams and visiting specialists. Healthcare in Eastbourne is readily accessible, with services including Eastbourne District General Hospital, local GP practices, and nearby pharmacies.
Many of Eastbourne’s top-rated homes accept both private and local authority funding and offer short-term respite care for families who need a break or emergency placement.
We make it simple to compare care homes based on what matters most - whether that’s budget, garden access, or homes that can accommodate couples who wish to stay living together.
