Bowes House

Welcome to Bowes House

Our care home in Hailsham blends old and new – incorporating Victorian brewery buildings and a new-build facility – it delivers the best of care to older people.

Bowes House in Hailsham, East Sussex, provides a wide range of care services, from short respite stays, through to full time nursing and residential care. We are also highly experienced in delivering care for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. 

Our 90-bedroom home has its own café, hair salon and is divided into four suites, each named by local schoolchildren. Each suite has its own lounge and dining room to create a ‘community within a community’. 

We pride ourselves on the transparency of our care quality and fee information - ensuring you can trust us to care from that very first step.

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Bowes House care home.

I just wanted to pass on my thanks to the staff that helped with my mums care. Everyone we came into contact with was so kind. I'm glad she was somewhere with people who showed her empathy and respect

Daughter of a resident, November 2022

We would like to thank you for all the care that you gave to my father and step-mother and for making them comfortable.

Daughter of a resident, October 2022

We would like to thank you for your kindness to our relative. It was such a comfort to know you were looking after her and were so caring for her. We were so pleased to meet you a few weeks ago and you are clearly so devoted to your job and so understanding to people’s needs. We cannot thank you enough.

Relative of a resident, December 2021

Thank you to everyone for looking after our mum. Thank you for the amazing time and care you gave, we could not have wished for mum to be anywhere else. I will never forget the great time spent with her in the dining room and café, and the lovely chats and laughs with you all. Thank you to every single one of you.

Family of Resident, August 2021

To all the staff at Bowes House, thank you all so much for all the care and friendship you showed Gweneth while she was in Bowes House. Thank you again with love.
