Aurem Care has celebrated the completion of an East Sussex care home’s £2 million refurbishment.

The unveiling at Hailsham House was attended by Mayor Cllr Paul Holbrook and Deputy Mayor Cllr Anne Marie Ricketts.

Home manager, Rui Santos, said: “Hailsham House is more than just a care facility, it’s a true home for our residents. We are committed to supporting individuals in a way that provides for their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

“It’s been amazing to speak to so many people from the area and to show them the outstanding results of our refurbishment works. Hailsham House is a first-class facility and I am delighted that we have had such good feedback from the community. I am looking forward to working with local good causes and groups to enrich the lives of our residents, as well as contributing positively to the local area.”

The refurbishment project, which began with an initial £1 million investment, saw the creation of 32 en-suite rooms, each equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, including full wet rooms, and a comprehensive overhaul of kitchen facilities.

In addition to the physical improvements, the investment also generated over 20 jobs for local people.
