St George's Park Ltd is a subsidiary of the charity Augustinian Care. The company has been set up to sell and run the retirement village which the charity has built. The proceeds from the sale of the village have gone towards building the charity a new 180 bed Care Home also located on the same 250 acre site in East Sussex.
The Augustinian Order was founded in 1842 in Bruges, Belgium by Reverend Canon Peter John Maes who devoted his life to the care of the elderly. The Sisters of St. Augustine was re-formed in 1866 when it established its first home, St. George's Retreat in Burgess Hill, East Sussex, which has been run by the sisters ever since.
The religious aspect of the retirement village is very low key; however the caring and hospitable ethos of the charity is very much present.
