Accommodation
Completed in May 2021, Wellignton is a beautiful Edwardian House which has been thoughtfully renovated, maintaining original features with all the modern facilities required in a care setting. We provide a homely and modern environment within 28 bedrooms over three floors suitable for residents with both residential and nursing care needs, including those who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility. A large lounge and dining room lead to a terrace and sunny garden area. There are two additional communal lounges.
All bedrooms have an en-suite wet room shower and a television with a wifi system to enable residents to retain as much independence as they wish. All rooms have a wifi call system making it easier for a person to summon assistance. Two rooms on the ground floor lead directly into the garden which is secure and enables residents to have a high degree of freedom and personal space. Of the 28 bedrooms, 26 are single rooms and two are twin-bedded, should people choose to share. One room has a small kitchenette and shower room nearby making it comfortable for a person who wishes to have more independence and can undertake small domestic tasks for themselves.
Neighbouring Clair Park, Haywards Heath town centre and the railway station are within easy walking distance.

Premium quality
We value every individual who comes to live here be it short or long-term. We assure users of the service that they will be treated with respect and dignity according to individual needs and wishes. We aim to enable people to continue living as independently as possible by providing nursing care and support consistent with people’s needs and wishes. Our policy is to provide a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which care, well-being and comfort are of prime importance.
Supportive care
Our well-trained and experienced staff, led by the Registered Manager Biju Philip, work to promote the independence and freedom of residents to live the life each individual wants and emphasise the importance of holistic care in all we do. Our Healthcare services have an excellent reputation and have long since been recognised as one of the leading providers of residential and nursing care within the area for over 25 years.
Meals
Mealtimes are flexible and residents can have a meal in their own room or in the dining room as they wish. Menus are varied and favorite dishes and special dietary requirements are catered for individually.
How care is provided
Residents' individual care plans provide the basis on which the care is delivered. This will include preference in respect of how a person likes to be addressed, and what dignity, respect and privacy means to them in terms of daily care and activities.
Our care plans are maintained using a software application called Person Centred Software which has a section accessible with consent, for loved ones to send messages and keep updated.

How do we assure quality?
Wellington nursing home is an extension of our Bletchingly home and officially offers the additional beds and venue alongside Bletchingly at the same physical address providing for a total of 56 residents. Together they will be regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of our service. We have a comprehensive Policies and Procedures manual, which is reviewed regularly. An important part of our approach is to obtain the views of residents, relatives and their representative which is achieved by regular reviews with residents and their relatives as appropriate. A link to our most recent inspection report can be found below. This can also be accessed directly from their website at www.cqc.org.uk
