Dudwell St Mary is a well-respected care home housed in the stunning setting of a former convent. We provide high quality nursing and residential care for elderly people and for people living with dementia, including planned and emergency respite breaks. Our dedicated team of highly qualified, attentive and experienced staff create a welcoming atmosphere full of smiles and laughter, which is enjoyed by the people we support, their families, and visitors.

Dementia Care

The home's specialist Memory Lane Community utilises a careful blend of skills and techniques developed by leading experts in the field of dementia care, incorporating person-centred design in its use of colour and cues to help individuals navigate through the home, whilst thoughtful interior design features, such us adapted crockery and tableware assists with reminiscence. Communities are broken up into separate units with a family feel so people can feel safe and comfortable. Care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person-centred approach. Staffing levels reflect the needs of residents, and people living with dementia are offered a range of activities to help preserve life skills, support interactions and retain a sense of purpose and selfhood.

Our focus is on making a difference to the lives of those we care for, supporting family and friends to ensure that moving from familiar surroundings to our home is a smooth transition. Staff work as a team and are passionate about our quality of care, facilities and the overall environment. Our dedication can be seen in the quality of our cooking, hospitality and of our social activities, which are matched to individual preferences.

The home is located on the outskirts of Burwash in East Sussex, just 2 miles from Etchingham and 15 miles from Tunbridge Wells. We welcome visitors at any time, so why not come and see Dudwell St Mary for yourself.

Emma Louise Rich-Spice

General Manager

Hi. My name is Emma Rich-Spice and I am the General Manager at Dudwell St Mary. Welcome to our website.

I trained in mental health and care management and forensics as a degree and have been managing adult nursing and complex care home services now for over 20 years. I bring a deep and caring knowledge of how to ensure the care given to you and your loved ones is at a standard you would expect and more so. My door is always open for a coffee and a chat for all. Care is a huge passion of mine, one of which has led me to the House of Lords to positively champion adult social care and those who live and work within.

For me kind, caring, personalised and holistic care should be at the heart of everything my team and I will provide for you and we will take the time to get you know you and deliver the best service we can to your wishes to live as independent life as possible.

To be able to make a difference and share a part of your journey with you is something we find humbling and rewarding and cannot wait to meet you when you come to visit us or come into our care.
