Choosing Home Instead Old Town for personalised home care

We help our clients make the most of everything this community has to offer. For example, our Care Professional Kayleigh regularly accompanies her client Barbara on shopping trips to Waitrose, followed by relaxing coffee breaks at local cafés like Café Old Town or The Tennis Café in nearby Gildredge Park. These outings blend practical support with social engagement, allowing our clients to stay connected to their community while enjoying the wonderful amenities of Old Town. Barbara says these trips have significantly improved her mobility, and with the support of a Care Professional, she no longer worries about going out – she truly enjoys these outings!

Our Old Town Team is With You Through Every Step

With our Outstanding CQC rating and over 50 years of combined care experience, our team provides exceptional care with professional expertise. We maintain close relationships with nearby Eastbourne District General Hospital and local GP surgeries, including Victoria Medical Centre, and our commitment to continuity of care means clients receive visits from the same small team of Care Professionals at consistent times, allowing trusting relationships to develop naturally. We're just as actively involved in the local community, running a monthly dementia-friendly café in nearby Willingdon. Our annual 'What's on Where' guide helps residents discover local activities, from Senior Seated Exercise at The Venton Centre to Dementia Friendly Screenings at The Towner Cinema. We can typically begin providing care within two weeks of initial consultation, helping our clients stay connected to the vibrant community life that makes Old Town such a special place to live.
