About St Michaels Rest Home
St Michaels Rest Home provides residential and specialist dementia care for older people who need 24-hour support, with respite and palliative care also available. The family-run home builds care plans around individual needs, routines and preferences, while each resident has a private room for familiar belongings and personal comfort.
Residents can join activities, attend discussions and take part in short stays before moving in permanently. Staff also build a life story to help understand a person’s likes and dislikes, and the home can adapt care plans when needs change. Its setting is in a quiet residential area of Bexhill-on-Sea, with a private off-road car park and access to the seafront.
