What we offer

The Marshes is an attractive bungalow situated on the outskirts of Hailsham, a town in the heart of the picturesque Sussex Downs. There are 6 ground floor bedrooms. The service is purpose built and can accommodate wheelchair users and those who require other aids for mobility.

There are communal areas for when people want to socialise including a lounge, kitchen and dining area.

The Marshes has its own garden area to the rear of the property and a shared communal patio area to the front of the property. There is also a sensory garden that the service shares with neighbouring service Lynfords.

The service is within easy reach of local shops, pharmacies and a leisure centre which has a Bowling Alley. Individuals within the home facilitate the use of these local amenities on a daily basis, and also access the local tourist attractions at Brighton, Hastings, and Eastbourne, which are a short drive away.

The local community centre is used on a weekly basis for various activities including a club night and sensory sessions.

The service is supported by opticians, chiropodist, district nurse and other health professional as required. The local community learning disability team support the service and attend reviews for each individual on an annual basis or as required. We focus on working as part of a multi disciplinary team in order to ensure excellent outcomes for the people that live here.

The service supports individuals to go on any holidays they wish to, and the service recently went on holiday to West Wittering, where everyone stayed in a 5 bedroom holiday home that had lovely gardens, with a decked area near a stream. Everyone enjoyed the warm weather, relaxing and listening to the radio in the garden. They went on trips to Marwell Zoo where a tractor ride was enjoyed by all, and ate chips on Bognor Beach. In the evening they had dinner out and everyone went to see Jersey Boys at the local cinema.
