The skilled team at Bowes House care home provides a wide range of services, from short respite stays through to full-time nursing and residential care, as well as specialist dementia care. The Hailsham home blends old and new, incorporating part of the old Victorian brewery buildings, dating from 1887 into a new-build facility.

The home is divided into suites, each with its own lounge and dining room, creating a 'community within a community'. The en-suite bedrooms have a flat-screen TV and 24-hour nurse call system. Ground-floor bedrooms open directly onto patios in the courtyard or garden. Outside, there are herbal, sensory and butterfly gardens, with plenty of seating to relax and spend time with friends and family on warmer days.

From the manager

“I have 20 years of experience in health and social care, starting with six years of operational management in the NHS. After that, I had the opportunity to work for a provider of dialysis services, and I went from managing one brand new clinic to managing 10 clinics as a Regional Director across London. After six years in this sector, I had the opportunity to work in older people’s services. After completing my last project, I wanted to work within an organisation that puts the wellbeing of its teams and the care and support of residents at the heart of everything they do. A good leader supports the team to deliver on the promise we make to care for people’s loved ones. The role requires energy and tenacity, and you must be approachable and lead with a smile and integrity. Delivering great care and keeping my team happy and motivated is my priority. I’m proud when I see team members develop in their careers and see the great outcomes for people we support at Bowes House. I live by the coast, so outside of work walking and swimming are a must! I love to watch movies, cook, go camping and socialise too.”

— Jonathan Johnson
