Our Care Starts With Connection
Mile Oak’s excellent location, with easy access to the A27 and Shoreham Bypass, allows us to provide responsive care throughout the area and beyond. The regular bus service along Graham Avenue makes it easy for our clients, with the support of their Care Professionals, to stay connected with the wider community. Take our lovely client Roy, who benefits from regular outings with his Care Professional Lisa. Together they attend ‘Snooker for Parkinson’s‘ sessions at nearby Portslade Sports Centre, where Lisa’s specialist Parkinson’s training helps her provide exactly the right support for Roy’s condition, from mobility assistance to medication reminders and help with mealtimes.
Our Home Care Services
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Mile Oak Team is With You Through Every Step
What truly sets us apart is our dedication to continuity of care – we ensure the same Care Professionals visit the same clients each time, with visits lasting at least an hour, and our team members are encouraged to develop their skills further through the Care Certificate and specialist training in areas such as dementia and stroke rehabilitation.
We're just as invested in nurturing the Mile Oak elderly community through various initiatives. Our Love to Move and Time to Chat sessions bring people together for gentle exercise and socialising, while our Tea and Something Lovely events at Bishop Hannington Church Centre offer entertainment and companionship. We're particularly proud of our 'What's on Where' community services and wellbeing guides, which help readers find fantastic local groups to attend, all part of our mission to create a caring, connected community where everyone can thrive.
Our dementia care in Mile Oak is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
