The team behind a new purpose built care home in Bexhill on Sea has celebrated the traditional ‘topping out’ ceremony as the development edges towards completion.

Southlands Place is the latest state-of-the-art care centre to be built by independent provider Caring Homes and will offer residential, nursing and dementia care for up to 72 residents. Those living there will benefit from the variety of communal areas that the home will offer, including landscaped gardens and living accommodation laid out over four floors.

Julie Mason, Regional Operations Director at Caring Homes, said: “Our focus is on providing residents with specialist care; tailoring the support they receive to their individual needs, ensuring that the care available is best suited to them. The homely surroundings of this wonderful property will benefit our exceptional standards of care.

“Every aspect of Southlands Place has been designed with its residents in mind, from the carefully considered layout of the living accommodation to the safe, accessible landscaped gardens.”

Brigid Sedour, who has over 25 years of home management and senior management in the care sector, will be in charge of the day-to-day management of the home. It is due to open in the summer of 2015.
