About Whitegates Care Home
Whitegates Care Home provides residential, early dementia and respite care for older people in a small 21-room home in Hastings. Residents receive support with daily routines, social connection and emotional wellbeing, while care is shaped around their identity, preferences and independence.
The home offers short-term respite stays and a six-week flexible trial period, allowing someone to experience daily life before making a longer-term decision. Rooms can be made personal with photographs and suitable furniture, and some include en-suite wetrooms. Whitegates also has a Home for Life funding assurance for private residents whose personal funds run out, subject to its conditions.

How much does Whitegates Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Whitegates Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, East Sussex council paid on average £948 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.
