Avalon Nursing Home Eastbourne has a warm and bright feel to it. The courtyard and the bedrooms around the courtyard which are located in the original part of the Nursing Home, creates a light bright atmosphere which Chris Keet, a well known Eastbourne architect put at the heart of his creation when he designed the new modern Dennis Cullen EMI wing. Thus, he created 16 large luxury en suite bedrooms with a large bright conservatory area.
Avalon provides a service of the highest quality promoting the residents maximum independence and respect for individual personal dignity. The ethos of the home is to encourage the residents' independence and freedom to make choices.
The home is lucky to have an experienced Cook Helen Slade and along with her assistant cooks Hadika & Manzoor on hand to ensure that all diets are catered for. Helen has been at the Eastbourne Nursing home for more than 25 years and provides some of the best meals in Sussex. Hot favourites are the fish and chips on a Friday and Roast dinners on a Wednesday and Sunday which the residents enjoy with a glass of Sherry. The home provides good fresh home cooked meals of the residents' choice, and provides special modified diets, when necessary. Avalon also offers traditional Christmas lunch with all the festive trimmings, traditional Easter lunch with all the trimmings, plus we will hold special lunches for St Andrews day, St Georges Day, St Patrick's day and St David's day.
The home has Vauxhall Vivaro disability vehicle to take residents out on any outings they may desire such as to the Downs, or gardens centres or to the shops or church for example.
The local vicar from St Marys Church Father Adam Ransom performs services and communion once per month. In addition, residents who wish to are assisted to church on every other Sunday at 10.30am for the service or 08.30 for prayers. Father Adam also visits the home over Easter and Christmas for prayers and communion.
Avalon can cater for all residents and their chosen denomination. We currently have Roman Catholics and Jehovah Witness' staying with us.
We now offer full-time physiotherapy services, dedicated to improving the quality of life and physical health of everyone in our care.
My uncle has been with the home since the beginning of December 2021. I feel he is well looked after and the staff are friendly and helpful. When we visit him they are very helpful and supportive. The home is very well maintained and clean which makes you feel he is safe and comfortable.

My husband seems to be very happy here. The manager and staff are efficient and friendly. He has put on weight so must be eating well. It will be good when Covid has gone so visiting restrictions can be lifted. I would recommend Avalon to others.
