About
Port Manor is a care home in Seaford, East Sussex, run by Barchester Healthcare. It has 55 registered beds and provides residential care, dementia care and respite or short-stay care for older people, with support available around the clock. A dedicated area called the Memory Lane Community supports people living with dementia. There, memory boxes holding photographs and other small keepsakes help residents reminisce, and adapted crockery, sensory gardens with low-risk walkways and activity kitchens help people take part in everyday tasks. The residential service is aimed at frail older people who need extra support but not specialist nursing or dementia care. Meals are prepared using fresh, seasonal produce, and the home runs a varied activities programme alongside a choice of therapeutic approaches.
