Overview
Ullswater Cottage Care Centre is a specialist neurological care home in Pease Pottage, near Crawley in West Sussex. Rated Good by the Care Quality Commission and operated as part of the Splendid Care Group, the centre is deliberately small — just ten en-suite bedrooms — to support intimate, one-to-one care for residents living with long-term neurological conditions including acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and motor neurone disease.
Purpose-built from the ground up around the specific needs of neurological care, the centre features a dedicated sensory room, accessible landscaped gardens, adapted bathing facilities and communal spaces designed with mobility and cognitive needs in mind. Led by Care Centre Manager Joe Patterson, the small team works closely with external therapists to deliver the kind of coordinated specialist support families struggle to find in a typical residential care home.

About the Home and the Setting
Ullswater Cottage sits on Old Brighton Road South in Pease Pottage, a village on the southern edge of Crawley in West Sussex — close to the M23 for visiting family, close to Gatwick for those travelling in, and set in peaceful woodland that gives the home a distinctly calm, rural character. With just ten en-suite bedrooms, Ullswater feels more like a home than a facility. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort with the accessibility features residents with neurological conditions need. Bright communal lounges, a dedicated dining area, an accessible landscaped garden and quiet indoor spaces run through the centre, with sightlines and layouts specifically considered for wheelchair access and safe mobility. The small scale of the home means the team knows each resident and their family personally.
Specialist Neurological Care
Ullswater Cottage Care Centre is one of a small number of care homes in West Sussex genuinely equipped for long-term neurological care. The team of registered nurses supports residents living with acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease and other complex neurological conditions, with 24-hour clinical support delivered on a one-to-one basis. Care planning is coordinated in close partnership with external therapists — physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language specialists — so residents receive the kind of joined-up multidisciplinary support that typically sits only within specialist rehabilitation settings. A dedicated sensory room provides a therapeutic, calming environment for residents whose sensory processing needs shape their daily wellbeing, and respite care is also available for families who need short-term specialist cover for a loved one with a complex condition.
Day-to-Day Life at Ullswater Cottage
Day-to-day life at Ullswater Cottage is built around meaningful connection and gentle stimulation, shaped to the individual pace and needs of each resident. A dedicated activities coordinator runs a varied programme, from live entertainment and music sessions to time in the sensory room and out in the accessible landscaped garden. Meals are prepared by the in-house chef, with dietary requirements, personal nutrition plans and individual preferences considered for each resident. The small size of the centre — ten residents — means the team can pay real attention to what makes each person’s day feel worthwhile, from favourite music to preferred routines. The family-like atmosphere is one of Ullswater’s most consistently mentioned features by families making a decision about specialist care.

FAQ's
Which conditions does Ullswater Cottage support?
Specialist long-term care for adults living with acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease and other complex neurological conditions. Both long-term nursing placements and short-term respite stays are available.
Why is Ullswater Cottage only 10 bedrooms?
The centre was purpose-built at a small scale to support genuine one-to-one specialist care. Ten residents means the team can build detailed knowledge of each person’s needs, preferences and clinical requirements, and can work more closely with external therapists — a level of coordinated care that’s difficult to sustain in a large home.
How do I arrange a viewing?
Tours can be arranged by calling 01444 273 740 or through ullswatercare.co.uk. The brochure is downloadable online, and the team will discuss availability, care needs, condition-specific requirements and fees before your visit.
