Surrounded by majestic mature trees and operating as an annex to the Edwardian grandeur of Coniston Court care home in the heart of East Sussex.
Mallard offers a beautifully decorated, newly refurbished suite of ten bedrooms.
With a team devoted to enriching the lives of their residents, Mallard has a warm, family feel and provides exceptional standards of residential, nursing and dementia care, tailored to the needs of each individual.
Residential care is a type of long-term care provided in a live-in facility where individuals receive around-the-clock support with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals. It is designed for people who cannot live independently due to age, disability, or health conditions and need assistance that cannot be provided at home.
Dementia care is specialised support for individuals with dementia, focusing on managing the symptoms of cognitive decline, such as memory loss, confusion, and changes in behaviour. It includes creating a safe and structured environment, providing assistance with daily activities, and offering personalised care to meet the unique needs of each person.
Nursing care involves the provision of medical and personal care by licensed nurses to individuals who need health-related assistance. This type of care includes monitoring vital signs, administering medications, wound care, managing chronic conditions, and supporting recovery from illnesses or surgeries.
Respite care is temporary care provided to individuals who need assistance with daily activities, giving their primary caregivers a break from their caregiving responsibilities. Respite care ensures that the individual receives the necessary support and supervision while the caregiver takes time to rest, recharge, or attend to other personal matters.
Palliative care is a specialised form of medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness. It aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families, regardless of the stage of the illness or the need for other treatments.

After gaining my nursing qualifications in India, I moved to Wales and began my career in care as a nurse. We have an excellent working relationship and the support for each other makes each day at Coniston Court and Mallard special!, achieving my level 5 in Health & Social Care Management along the way. Following a short space in time as a nurse at the home, I progressed to the position of deputy manager then finally to home manager in 2014.
I believe that having a passion for caring for others and ensuring individuals are treated with respect and dignity are the key foundations for great care. As a team we work hard to support our residents to live the most normal and fulfilling lives possible, and we do so as one big happy family.
I’m incredibly proud of my team. We have an excellent working relationship and the support for each other makes each day at Coniston Court special!
Two visits post lockdown in the garden. Well organised, staff attentive, Mum even had her sunglasses on. Being her birthday, staff came out to celebrate with cake and candles and took photos which I received. Very caring towards Mum who responded positively to all the attention. Thank you for making it a special occasion for her.
