Nutrition is an important part of maintaining health and wellbeing for our residents. As such, we see the provision of food at meal times as vitally important and we are constantly striving to provide the highest quality food. The menu at Place Farm House is reviewed with residents with the seasons. We believe that the meals that are provided to the residents should be fresh and home-cooked rather than being ordered in ready-made. We obtain some of our meats and vegetables from local Sussex suppliers in an effort to support the local business community. Place Farm House caters for all food preferences and offer a choice of options at lunch and supper times.

In our evolution to becoming a "paperless" care home, the residents care plans and notes are logged electronically on an accessible but secure online system. This system provides relative's gateway access to view their loved one's care remotely, virtually on a "live" basis and we offer this as a service as soon as the elderly person moves into Place Farm House. This creates assurance, transparency and also improves the quality of care within the home with management and the owner's having remote access to manage and view the daily care of the residents and oversee the care which is being provided.

At Place Farm House, we have the ethos of providing high quality care this with an attention to detail so that our residents look and feel their best every single day.

Every resident has a key worker who knows in detail their preferences and traits. In addition, our Senior’s responsibility is to arrange small, but vital services such as Dental, eye and hearing and hospital/clinic appointments for residents, as well as joining up communication between staff and management. We feel this improves the service and care we provide.

Within the fees (for private paying residents) we include newspapers, all toiletries, chiropody services and weekly hairdressing.

Stimulation and enjoyment of the residents at Place Farm House is an important aspect of their daily life. To promote this, Place Farm, House has activities in the communal areas Monday – Saturday which varies from word games, exercises, quizzes and presentations and talks by our activity co-ordinators

We also organise outings via minibus which include trips into the country, coffee shops and garden centres. You can see more of our activities from our Facebook page
