Our Live-in home care is person-centred, meaning that the care we provide is based on the individual’s needs, condition and circumstances. 

Home care allows people to remain in a familiar place, surrounded by memories and items collected throughout the years. What makes Home Instead Lewes District and Uckfield unique is that we go above and beyond to build incredible relationships with our clients and provide the support they need to allow them to live a happy and high quality of life at home.

At Home Instead Lewes District and Uckfield, we provide one-to-one care and support in your home that ranges from companionship care to complex care for health issues such as dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease and cerebral palsy.

Live-in care is one of the safest care options available.

The risk of infection from outside your home is reduced when you have a Care Professional residing with you. Other care options typically have multiple health Care Professionals  coming in and out of the house.

Our most important priority is to keep you as safe and shielded as possible while enjoying a higher quality of life from the comfort of your home.

We understand that having someone to come and live in your home is a significant change for everyone and can feel quite unsettling to begin with. 

Our Care Professionals go through a process of comprehensive background checks and specialist training before meeting any of our clients.

It’s important that we get to understand and learn about you and your requirements. We take great pride in going through a process of carefully selecting our clients to match perfectly with their live-in Care Professional.

They will be your companion and reside in your home, helping you to carry out those tasks you need them to. More importantly, they will become a familiar face and a source of company whether it’s cooking a meal, watching a favourite TV programme or reminiscing about the ‘good old days’.

There are common situations, conditions and events where live-in care offers the solution to challenges you might face moving forward:

Long-term conditions: Diseases like Parkinson’s require close and careful monitoring. Our Care Professionals are trained to observe any changes to a client’s health, wellbeing and behaviour, ready to take action if there is ever a cause for concern.

Dementia care: Living at home means staying in familiar surroundings and maintaining those daily routines that might not be possible in residential care. Home care suits somebody living with dementia, where continuity of life in the home they have grown to love is proven to be beneficial.

Losing a spouse: When a spouse dies, it takes some time to adjust, not just emotionally but practically too. A Care Professional can be a much-needed companion and fulfil the support role that was recently lost.

Frailty: Getting older for many means not being able to do the simplest of things, even lifting the kettle to make a cup of tea. Live-in care can support someone who is becoming frail to maintain their independence and quality of life.

Unexpected illness and events: Whether it’s a fall or a sudden illness, your loved one could be susceptible to events that may quickly have a need for care. Professional help will relieve the pressure from you and your family.
