The Pines is a purpose-built home overlooking the pretty park of St. Anne's Well Gardens with an entrance leading directly into it.
The conservatory has been designed as a place of interest and enjoyment for every resident - however frail. Simply sitting in the sunshine watching the comings and goings outside provides a pleasant change of scene.
Rooms
All rooms are furnished but we encourage new residents to make themselves at home by adding some of their own furniture or favourite objects. Most bedrooms offer en-suite facilities, TV sockets and a personal phone extension (if desired).
Dining
We cater for all diets and preferences. Birthdays are celebrated with a home-made cake.
Activities
At The Pines we are delighted to offer social activities. Led by trained staff, residents are involved in activities such as music sessions, discussions and exercise classes in the company of others. The conversation and laughter does everyone good.
We also have an annual events programme which includes parties with relatives at Easter and Christmas and year round topical events such as the Jubilee celebrations which featured swing-time music and jive dancers
Brighton is in easy reach and there is a minibus available to take residents on outings.
Friendship
The Friends of the Pines is a voluntary group whose members befriend our residents. They provide a weekly library book and trolley shop service; birthday gifts; invitations to tea in their homes and outings to the shops and seafront
