The Mayor of Eastbourne Celebrates Topping Out Ceremony at New Care Home

Eastbourne’s newest care home, Alice Court, has marked a major milestone with a celebratory topping out ceremony, signalling the completion of construction for the state-of-the-art residential, dementia and respite care home.

The Mayor of Eastbourne joined the team to commemorate the occasion, helping to plant a locally sourced crab apple tree in the home’s landscaped gardens. The symbolic gesture reflects the growth and future of Alice Court as a vibrant part of the local community.

Set to welcome residents from Monday, 3rd November, Alice Court offers 70 en-suite bedrooms, creating a welcoming environment where people feel truly at home.

Michelle Love-Patel, General Manager at Alice Court, shared her pride in the day’s celebrations, “Today marks a huge milestone for Alice Court. We are planting a tree to symbolise the completion of our building and to recognise the dedication of everyone involved in creating this beautiful space. It is an honour to have Madam Mayor with us as we prepare to open our doors and welcome our first residents.”

The Mayor of Eastbourne added, “The home has wonderful views across Eastbourne and is well thought out, with beautifully designed rooms. I look forward to being invited again to future events.”
