What makes Lauriston special?
Respite care at Lauriston
Respite care, also known as short-term or short-stay care, is a temporary living arrangement at a care home. It gives both carers, and those being cared for, a bit of time off and a chance to recharge their batteries.
At Lauriston, we offer residential, nursing and dementia respite care. Everyone staying with us for a respite break will receive personalised care, tailored to their individual needs. They’ll have their own furnished room and be encouraged to take part in the life of our home and the many activities on offer.
Where are we?
We’re situated in St Leonards on Sea less than a mile from Hastings town centre and the coast. We have easy access to local amenities and shops. We welcome visitors anytime and would love to see you at our coffee morning on the first Tuesday of every month.
Award-winning music therapy
Our care home in St Leonards on Sea is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to help alleviate isolation and the symptoms for those living with dementia. Our trained and award-winning therapist is funded by charitable donations. They interact directly with residents through live music therapy sessions. This includes singing, playing simple percussion instruments or responding to musical cues in a one-to-one or group setting. Take a look at our video to find out more about this life-changing therapy.
Chaplaincy and pastoral support
Lauriston is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain, who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our Chaplain is in the home four days a week, providing a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.
Activities, trips and events
Our Activity Coordinators work hard to keep our residents active and entertained with a fun-packed weekly calendar. Activities include: singing, bingo, quizzes, games, baking, afternoon tea and coffee mornings, animal visits, film afternoons, flower arranging, gardening (outdoors and indoors), craft sessions and knitting. We also hold Church services three times a week plus personal support from our Chaplain who is employed at Lauriston.
Our beauty salon offers hair and nail care and hand massages - giving residents a chance to be pampered! And exercise sessions help keep residents active.
We also take residents on weekly shopping trips and regularly invite outside entertainers into the home. Our residents tell us what they would like to do, and we do our best to make it happen.
And we love any excuse to put on a themed event. Throughout the year you’ll see events including, Pancake Day fun, Valentine’s Day meal and an Easter Extravaganza.

Finding a place that you can call "home" is a question of getting the right balance.
Lauriston’s residential care provides 24 hour support to help residents maintain independence –giving you peace of mind and a place to make new friends and explore new interests.
In many ways it is like living in a hotel, where you don’t need to worry about laundry, changing the bed or cleaning your room. We will use the district nurse and GPs to provide any medical care. Our caring staff help with everyday activities like bathing and dressing and support at meal times.
At the same time, there is no reason why you can’t maintain links with the local community, or develop new friendships and relationships. Care staff will help you do that, while also working hard to create a home that is full of opportunities.
In the main living areas of the home you will find lounges where you can join in one of the many activities with others or to sit quietly with a book or newspaper.
Mealtimes are an important part of the day here, giving our residents the opportunity to get together and enjoy freshly prepared food in a relaxed restaurant-style environment. We always offer two meal options and our chefs will happily prepare something special if nothing on the menu appeals.
“People told us that the food was ‘good’, tasty’ and ‘pretty nice.’”
