Meet The Manager
Jackie Cox is Care Home Manager at Parris Lawn.
As Parris Lawn's Manager, I have a strong conviction that each resident should have the opportunity to live their life as they wish to, in this very comfortable and prestigious setting.
Welcome to Parris Lawn, in Ringmer, East Sussex, our stunning new care home offering the highest quality care and five-star facilities. Our expert team delivers residential, nursing and dementia care, on a short-term or permanent basis, for up to 62 older people. We also provide sensitive and thoughtful end of life care. We were delighted to be rated ‘good’ at our latest CQC inspection.
Parris Lawn is all about enjoying personalised care in luxurious surroundings. Living here is whatever your loved one wants it to be. They can fill their day with enjoyable activities, fine food and great company. Or if a quieter pace of life is more fitting, they can relax in the privacy of their individually-styled en-suite bedroom, or enjoy the view from our lovely gardens.
Parris Lawn is a new purpose-built care home where every thought has been given to your loved one’s care and comfort.
Our home is named after Frederick Parris, a renowned cricketer who played for Sussex, who was born in Ringmer in 1867. While the home’s name has a foot in the past, the building itself offers the latest in care and comfort.
Visitors are welcome at any time at Parris Lawn, and our bistro is also open to the public. Local groups often use the space for meetings, which gives residents another opportunity to engage with different people.
Discover Parris Lawn for yourself, we hope you enjoy discovering more about our Ringmer care home and if you would like to arrange a viewing of Parris Lawn, please contact our friendly team.

The home’s design incorporates the latest dementia-friendly design standards. There are no dead-ends or blank walls, which can cause confusion. Instead, residents who like to walk around can find their way independently, without getting lost. The emphasis at Parris Lawn is on enjoying a fantastic lifestyle. There are frequent film showings in our cinema, and residents enjoy being pampered in the hair and beauty salon. The bistro café is popular for entertaining visitors, and on warm days, our lovely gardens are ideal for a stroll or for admiring the views over the South Downs. Indoor Facilities:

Living at Parris Lawn is exactly what your loved one wants it to be. They choose how to spend their day, doing as much or as little as they wish. We get to know every person we care for as individuals, including their needs, likes and what’s important to them. When we understand a person, we can plan activities and experiences that they will love. Our thoughtful activity team ensures there’s plenty to do at Parris Lawn. Musicians and singers often come and perform for residents, and there’s a church service every Sunday. Other activities include crafts, quizzes, cheese and wine evenings and film afternoons. Enjoying exercise and fresh air is vital for health and wellbeing, and residents look forward to the wheelchair-friendly walk with our team each morning. A small group goes swimming each week, while other residents continue to take part in community groups, including the WI. As one resident puts it, “My life is my own. I like to call it improved living, because everything is here for me if I need or want it.” Our minibus outings are very popular, whether we’re heading to the shops in Lewes, to a local museum, or the seaside for fresh air and fish and chips. We also have a private chauffeur for anyone who wishes to travel in style. |
