Questions families ask
Do they accept couples?
Yes. Couples can stay in spacious double rooms with en-suite facilities and areas to lounge and dine together.
Are pets allowed in the care home?
They aim to accommodate residents’ pets and visiting animals, subject to a risk assessment prioritising residents’ and staff wellbeing.
Can they meet individual dietary requirements?
Yes. During admission they record nutritional preferences, hydration needs and allergies, then create individualised plans to manage risks and choices.
Do residents need their own contents insurance?
Not for ordinary belongings. They record an inventory during admission, but residents must arrange separate insurance for high-value items at their own cost.
How much does Palm Court Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Palm Court Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, East Sussex council paid on average £990 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
