The care provided by Summerlands is led by the home’s manager, Lowela Alcazaren. Lowela’s positivity and “can-do” attitude, her empathy and personalised care has filtered through to the staff team. Our team of dedicated staff willingly cover holidays and absences because they want the best care for the residents. Agency care staff have not been used since 2016.

“I could not have found a better place or more patient and compassionate people to care for her.”

Bedrooms and fees

Most bedrooms on the ground floor have patio doors that lead into the beautiful garden – and we 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 ensuite 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 £1,000 to £1300 per week. Please speak to a member of the team to find out more about our bedroom 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 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.”
