About Southdowns Nursing Home
Southdowns Nursing Home supports older people and younger adults with nursing needs linked to dementia, physical disabilities, mental health needs or sensory impairment. The home forms part of The Mulberry Community, which delivers residential, nursing, dementia and specialist care across East Sussex. Care teams receive regular training to support residents to live as independently as possible.
Residents can continue hobbies through an Activities and Wellbeing Team, use local transport links and access a disabled-access vehicle. The home supports specialist and modified diets, welcomes family meals by prior arrangement and allows visiting as people would in their own home. Specialist and modified diets are supported with input from speech and language therapists and dietitians.

How much does Southdowns Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Southdowns 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.
