Home Care in Lewes

Home Instead provides compassionate, personalised home care services across Lewes and its surrounding villages, including Glynde, Ringmer, Kingston, Offham and Southease. Nestled in the heart of East Sussex, our care team understands the unique needs of local residents, offering tailored support that addresses a wide range of requirements from companionship to complex care, including dementia support, autism care, Parkinson’s assistance and stroke recovery.

Our Care Professionals are carefully matched with clients based on shared interests and personalities, ensuring a genuine connection. We can typically deploy support within two weeks from consultation to first Care Professional visit, helping clients maintain independence and stay connected to the vibrant Lewes community. Our support extends beyond basic care, accompanying clients to local appointments at The Foundry GP Surgeries, shopping at Waitrose on East Street, and arranging social engagements at the Lewes House of Friendship or dementia-friendly screenings at the Lewes Depot Cinema.

Our Care Professionals undergo rigorous training at our Ringmer office, covering essential skills like basic life support, medication management and specialised condition-specific care. We collaborate closely with local organisations such as the Lewes and District Dementia Action Alliance and Age UK East Sussex, with our Director, Alison Scutt, chairing the Dementia Action Alliance to create an inclusive and welcoming community for those affected by dementia. We take an active role in local community initiatives, regularly hosting Dementia Awareness sessions at The Dorset Pub and organising a weekly companionship café featuring crafts and quizzes.

Our approach allows clients to stay comfortably in their own homes while staying connected to the community they cherish, all while receiving professional, compassionate care that extends well beyond basic support. Additionally, we produce an annual Community Services and Wellbeing Guide tailored specifically for the Lewes area. Given the vibrancy of this community, there are plenty of activities on offer, and our guide helps residents discover social and community groups that may interest them, promoting ongoing social engagement. It also provides valuable advice on wellbeing and maintaining a high quality of life as we age.
