About Summerlands
Botanical gardens, varied activities and a choice at mealtimes shape daily life at Summerlands, a residential care home for older people in Haywards Heath. The home is registered without nursing and provides a shared setting for care, social time and everyday routines.
Life at Summerlands includes events, activities and garden spaces, while its no-segregation approach keeps residents together rather than separating people by care need. The home also highlights end-of-life support through its Gold Standards Framework work. Families can explore bedrooms, fees, care arrangements and the home’s approach before deciding whether its scale and facilities suit a relative.

Questions families ask
How much does Summerlands cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Summerlands for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,046 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Summerlands whether it takes residents funded by West Sussex council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
