With a team like this working together at Summerlands, we’re incredibly confident in our ability to deliver expert care to everyone living here, with a wonderful quality of life, fun and fulfilling activities, events and outings, and a strong focus on wellbeing, promoting independence whenever and wherever we can. Our residential care home is safe and secure, clean, warm and comfortable, with everything our residents could possibly need here to enjoy a happy and rewarding lifestyle.

We encourage self-help at every available opportunity but are always on hand to intervene if need be; with responsible risk-taking here at Summerlands Care Home, residents are free to undertake certain activities where they are competent to judge any level of risk themselves. We respect residents’ privacy, undertaking all personal care including bathing and dressing in such a way that personal dignity is maintained.

Bedrooms and fees

Most bedrooms on the ground floor have patio doors that lead into the beautiful garden – and we have made sure that every single bedroom has a wonderful view of flowers, trees and greenery, as it’s amazing how much seeing nature first-hand can lift someone’s mood and only enhance their wellbeing. In fact, one bedroom looked out onto a flat roof, so we transformed it into a roof garden!

All bedrooms in our Haywards Heath care home have en-suite toilets and washbasins, and larger rooms have fully accessible wet rooms. Our fees here at Summerlands are based on each room’s size and facilities, ranging from £950 to £1200 per week. Please speak to a member of the team to find out more about our bedrooms and availability.


“It was a breath of fresh air when we found Summerlands. The home was like ‘home from home’, so ideal, the gardens were to die for as like my mother’s garden. The staff treated my mum (and everyone there) like they were the most important lady in the house. The staff were all jolly, friendly, trustworthy and couldn’t do enough for us all as a family.”

“The ‘end of life’ care my mother received was compassionate, professional, both for her and the family.”

The Gold Standards Framework

We are delighted to have completed the GSF reaccreditation assessment and to be awarded Platinum Status.  The team, irrespective of role, are committed to the ongoing development of GSF and that the residents receive the highest standards of care and support, focusing on helping them to remain as independent as possible.

Statement from Clinical Associate:

“I felt that this home personified everything that is GSF. It is clearly well led by a Manager and senior team who are passionate and knowledgeable about the framework and who have worked hard, and continue to work hard, to ensure that standards are maintained and that GSF remains at the centre of everything that is done. Their enthusiasm to share everything they have developed to promote the wellbeing of the residents and to support those at end of life was a joy. Their self-developed documentation used to support their electronic care planning system is a credit to them and shows true commitment to ensuring a person-centred approach is used for each and every resident. Combined with the sense of team spirit, staff cohesion, owner support and innovative use of ideas such as zoom training for families etc, health insurance to maintain staff wellbeing, this home would, in my opinion, be worthy of Care Home of the Year.”

“The care and dedication of all the staff and management is second to none. The home and gardens could not be surpassed in any way.”
