About Brittany House Residential Care
Home is not a place, it’s a feeling
You’ll experience that feeling as soon as you walk through the doors of our historic home. It’s a feeling we take pride in at Brittany House, the feeling that you’re in the right home, a feeling that comes with care, people and soul.
- a home with a soul, with character
- offering the right care, at the right time
- with people who feel like family
Don’t take our word for it, here are comments we have received recently regarding our care:
“It was obvious Mum and her holistic needs were at the centre of Brittany House’s care”
“Thank you for your care, your honesty, your respect and your generosity to our Mum and our whole family from the moment we met”
Brittany House is a boutique 62 bed residential home in Hastings on an impressive 1.5 hectares of grounds offering:
- respite, rest home, hospital and palliative care
- flexible accommodation options including single, couple and companion rooms
- excellent resident-focused care provided by a dedicated clinical team
- a wide variety of services, activities, and indoor and outdoor spaces to help you create new routines and traditions
- AND we’re a family that looks out for each other and looks out for you
Our bed rooms are all of an especially large size, and provide plenty of living space for added comfort. The large size of our rooms is unusual in Residential Care homes, and is just another great feature you’ll enjoy at Brittany House.
Come visit and feel the difference of our home at Brittany House, we’d love to understand your needs and show you around our home.
- Large, bright sunny rooms

Other Key Information
It's not unusual to want to know more about payments and meals. We also invite you to explore the special features and activities we offer. If you have any other questions, please reach out, we’d love to hear from you!
What's included in your fees and what's not?
We closely follow the industries policies and practices in our business and strive to be 'fair and reasonable'. Because everyone's needs are different, please enquire with our Facility Manager (Susan McDade) for the specific details for your arrangements.
Details about meals
When we say "home cooked", we mean it! All meals are designed by professional chefs, and reviewed by a leading dietician. We can and do cater to all diets.
Special features
Our 'Spanish mission' style building was constructed in a time that was less concerned with efficiency and economy hence we find ourselves blessed with a range of unusually large areas. Recently we have commissioned some amazing new activity zones that help make Brittany House truly special and we think you will genuinely be surprised and like:
* The permanent Indoor Bowling Green
* The dedicated Cinema
*The Mediterranean Courtyard
* Or perhaps you prefer to enjoy a coffee or juice at The Confessional Café ! (which is a great example of finding a new purpose for an older icon).
Interests & activities
In a home where many residents live, it’s important to us to celebrate your individuality, make you feel valued, and respect your contribution.
Whether you want to read, paint, enjoy the outdoors, or almost any other thing imaginable, our care focusses on creating an environment where you have both the time and support to do what makes you happy. Our activities program is designed to give you a way to be part of the social life in the home, and also to do what you enjoy.
Activities programs are daily events staff facilitate with residents based on their preferences. Upon admission, our Activities Coordinator will work with care staff to understand your needs, and incorporate your preferences into the overall activity program.
Our unique activities program is run on a daily basis, and planned a month in advance. This means our residents and families can see what activities we are planning, and even make special requests.
Our activities teams regularly organize mobility vans or other transport to take residents out for special events. Some residents have complex levels of care, making it difficult for them to participate in activities. In these cases, we make every effort to move beds and wheelchairs into communal or outdoor areas, and to do what we can.
Please ask our Facility Manager about how we can accommodate your preferences in our activities programs.
