Our Mission

We’ve created a home to support physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

 

Considering living in a care home

Deciding to live in a care home is a huge decision and sometimes not made voluntarily but because of need, crisis or an emergency. Like any change it will involve feelings of sadness, loss and sometimes resentment.

We at Lindfield Christian Care Home try to make those who have made the decision to come and live with us see the change as a positive one. To try to view this move as a fresh opportunity to overcome any difficulties or challenges that are now presenting. Even at times of difficulty like failing health, subtle changes can bring benefits and improve the quality of life. We endeavour to ensure that individual preferences are always considered as this is how we try to maintain every individual’s sense of identity which is important to us all for our wellbeing, security and happiness.

Lindfield Christian Care Home

Lindfield Christian Care Home is very proud to have been providing care since 1992. LCCH is a non-profit making organisation established by the three churches in Lindfield village. It is a home with a strong Christian ethos which is open to everyone. Our aim is to provide a warm, homely and caring environment.

 

Nursing Care

We provide 24 hour nursing care under the direct supervision of the Deputy Manager and our Senior Nurse who are supported by a team of experienced Registered Nurses. When you are admitted to Compton House we will take time to get to know you, a plan of care will be developed with you to ensure that the plan is individual to you and will take account of your personal preferences. Everyone living at Compton House is allocated their own named Nurse and a Key worker.

Catering

We have a Catering Manager who heads a team of cooks and catering assistants who plan, prepare, cook and serve home-cooked meals. Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible with daily fresh vegetables, dairy, meat and fish deliveries. Menus are on a four week rolling rota and changed for the Summer and Winter - there is always choice on offer.

Wellbeing

We have a full time dedicated Wellbeing Lead who plans, prepares and facilitates our social activities programme based on every individuals interests and preferences. We believe wellbeing and social activity is everyone’s responsibility and you will notice on a daily basis that staff from all of the department take part in all aspects of socialising.

We travelled to Thailand 🇹🇭 for the day! We spent the morning learning about this fascinating country - we watched a lovely travel video, read some fun facts and had a quiz! The afternoon was then focused on their National Animal the Elephant 🐘 It
Another wonderful session with the lovely Loraine from Creative Mojo 💛 It was a beautiful afternoon spent paying tribute to the late Queen and we absolutely love the final display! It will hang by the front door for everyone to admire and have a mom
A few photos from the last week! We’ve had Bagatelle, giant snakes and ladders, a new game called Moneyball and a fun-filled session with kiddleydivey 🎉🎉 And of course much more that doesn’t get caught on camera 😆
From garden to kitchen 🥔 We planted 6 potatoes a few months ago not really sure what to do with them and then VOILA 🙌 We’ve ended up with a bucket of delicious potatoes that were cooked to perfection in the kitchen 💚

What should you consider when choosing a care home?

Think about what sort of care home you need and about your long term needs. Compton House is a Nursing Home, we have experienced Registered Nurses who plan and oversee your care. They are supported by a team of  NVQ 2 & 3 trained Health Care Assistants who deliver personalised care. There are Registered Nurses and support staff on duty 24 hours a day. We always ensure there are sufficient members of staff on duty to care for the needs of the people living here. We know by experience but we also use a recognised Dependency Tool to ensure our staff ratio is correct. Our expertise is in caring for individuals who have physical and medical conditions, such as caring for those who have had a stroke or a chronic condition such as Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Diabetes or for those who are approaching the end of life. If you are living with Dementia, then I am sorry to say we are unable to assist you.  We recommend that you will need to consider a home that specialises in caring for those people living with Dementia. Homes that specialise in Dementia Care have staff who are especially trained and experts in organising the care home to have a layout that is suitable for you and make you feel as comfortable as possible. It is important to take the time to make the right decision when entering a care home as having to transfer to another home can be very unsettling.  

You should also consider location, are your relatives and friends going to be able to visit you easily. Compton House is situated parallel to the rather lovely Lindfield High Street with the three Churches and a great selection of shops, coffee houses, pubs  and the well-known picturesque pond. But it is what we offer that is more important.

You will need to come and visit us and then consider when you step inside of Compton House how does it feel, sound and smell, how are you greeted by the staff? It is often the feeling that visitors get when they visit us that they comment on. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions you will make and it is important to make the right choice. You must feel free to ask as many questions as you can think of, because finding out as much as you can will ensure that you make a well informed decision and the best choice for you.
