Meet The Manager
Carol Spires is Home Manager at Cross Lane House.
Cross Lane House is a beautiful old country mansion, set in two acres of mature landscaped gardens in the heart of Rural Sussex in a beautiful and quiet residential area of the village of Ticehurst, East Sussex, and yet within walking distance of local shops, bank and pubs. We are easily accessible from the A21.
The home is within walking distance of the shops of Ticehurst village and is ideally situated for the bus or coach trips to Tunbridge Wells or the south coast.
All staff employed at the home receive enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service and Safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults checks prior to employment.
Cross Lane House offers so much more than just a place for older people to live. We are a vibrant, senior living community that offers care, companionship, comfort and a wide selection of activities, that match individual interests.
When people come to Cross Lane House, they lead richer lives, moving from isolation to a community. Whether they choose to play a competitive game of bingo, take part in morning exercise or just relax with friends, residents discover a second family and a home in which to thrive, both in body and spirit.
We look after our residents in the best way possible, in a warm and friendly home-from-home environment, creating a loving atmosphere to meet the needs of all individuals.

| Activities Are So Important |

Here at Cross Lane House we actively offer and encourage our residents to be involved in social activities, either within the home or outside. We encourage the building of relationships between our clients with many developing friendships that are mutually supportive and last for many years. Often our clients choose to sit with friends and acquaintances; this is actively encouraged. Continuation of any hobbies/activities is promoted and representatives of all denominations are welcome. The vicar from the local church visits to conduct a church service. We encourage clients’ relatives or friends to take them out because we believe that this assists in remaining involved with their family and the community as a whole. During times of the local and government elections, postal votes are available and encouraged. We have a coordinator who arranges a wide variety of different activities as chosen by the residents i.e. bingo, crosswords, quizzes etc. |
