Meet The Manager
Rani Raju is Home Manager at Inglewood Nursing Home.
Rani is a registered nurse who trained in Yorkshire and came to Inglewood as a nurse in 2006. She has worked her way up through clinical lead, deputy manager and, for the last three years, has been registered manager of the home.
“My lifelong dream is to maintain a positive and comfortable environment here at Inglewood with every resident feeling excited to join our family.”
Located in a pleasant residential area of Eastbourne, Inglewood Nursing Home provides high-quality short- and long-term nursing and palliative care in charming, period-style accommodation enhanced with modern facilities.
The home accommodates up to 60 residents across two floors in bright, comfortable bedrooms. Each room includes a TV, nurse call system, and adjustable automatic bed, with large windows offering attractive views of the picturesque gardens. Several ground-floor rooms also open directly onto the secure courtyard. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with favourite photos, ornaments, and small items of furniture to help them feel at home quickly.
Inglewood is fully wheelchair accessible, with lift access to the first floor, free Wi-Fi throughout, and its own on-site hair salon for added comfort and convenience.

The gardens at Inglewood Care Home provide a quintessentially English, wheelchair-accessible outdoor space where residents and their visitors can relax and enjoy fresh air in a peaceful setting. The picturesque and private courtyard garden and decking area offer plenty of seating, making them ideal spots to enjoy a pot of tea and cake on warm days or simply to soak up the sunshine. Our gardens are also popular venues for summer activities and games, providing residents with opportunities for socialising and recreation in a safe and welcoming environment. Additionally, some ground-floor rooms open directly onto the secure courtyard, allowing residents with green fingers to create their own potted gardens or hang baskets filled with favourite flowers. Residents at Inglewood can enjoy a touch of luxury and relaxation in the home’s popular hair salon, which offers professional hairdressing services on-site once a week. This welcoming and comfortable space allows residents to keep looking and feeling their best, whether it’s for a regular trim, a fresh style, or a bit of pampering. The salon not only helps maintain personal grooming and confidence but also provides a social and uplifting experience, contributing to residents’ overall well-being and sense of community. |
