Full Time Care for Elderly East Sussex: How We Support You at Tusker House

For over 50 years we have specialised in full time care for elderly East Sussex, particularly focusing on those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

As a family-owned and run establishment, we understand the life changes that both residents and their relatives face when care becomes essential. Our team, who hold NVQ Level 4 and RMA awards, bring decades of experience in order to help your loved ones thrive with the proper care.

A Home that Feels Like Home

Choosing full time care doesn’t mean losing the comforts of home. We offer spacious, well-appointed single or couples’ rooms and encourage residents to personalise their space with familiar items such as photographs, ornaments or furniture that mean something special.

Our philosophy is person-centred; we create bespoke care plans taking into account medical needs, personal preferences and daily life routines. Whether help is needed with dressing, washing, eating or simply companionship, our staff ensure dignity and respect come first.

Activities, Well-Being & Community

We believe our residents’ well-being extends far beyond clinical support. Residents are encouraged to spend time in comfortable, homely surroundings, join in with our social activities and share in community life. Our modern care planning and nurse call systems ensure safety and our staff maintain strong communication with families so that everyone is on the same page regarding developments, concerns and joy.

Making the Right Choice

Deciding that full time care is needed is seldom easy. We help by offering visits so you can see the atmosphere, meet our team and explore how we work. A detailed assessment follows, to ensure we can meet the specific needs of each person considering Tusker House. That way, you can have confidence that what we offer is right.

If you are looking for full time care for elderly East Sussex, especially for dementia or Alzheimer’s care, we’d be honoured to guide you through the process. Please get in touch to arrange a visit or ask any questions; you’re never alone in making this decision.

My dad has been a resident at Tusker House for almost a year now. The staff have always been very attentive allowing my dad to do what he can for himself; they are all very kind and caring. I am always kept up to date with my dads well being. During the pandemic, obviously, no one could visit their loved ones, however, Tusker House set up a WhatsApp video calling system and sent photos which we very much appreciated. The system that has now been put in place to visit residents is amazing, a lot of thought has gone into making it a safe environment for everyone. After not seeing my dad for almost 8-months, I was overjoyed to see how well and contented he was. I cannot thank everyone enough for the continued care they show my dad. I would highly recommend Tusker House to anyone that is looking for a care home

Our family are very grateful to the entire team at Tusker House, they all work tirelessly to care for our mother. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The attention to detail is outstanding; this is best demonstrated in the close monitoring of food and hydration, which has resulted in a (much needed) healthy weight gain. It is a huge comfort knowing our mother is in such safe hands; her every need is attended to by the excellent team. Our mother is treated with dignity and kindness. We are kept up-to-date, well informed and involved with all aspects of her care from carers and the management team who are always available. I cannot recommend this home highly enough!

Caroline S (Daughter of Resident)

My mother moved to Tusker House a year ago and the care has been outstanding, far beyond what I expected. My mother told me she loves being there and whenever I visit she seems very contented. There is always a welcoming cheerful atmosphere, the residents are treated as individuals and nothing is too much trouble for the carers. Her room is lovely and always spotlessly clean, and mum is always clean and tidy. The staff are all very approachable and keep me informed of any issues, they all know my mum very well and understand her needs. It was a difficult decision to move mum to a care home, but I feel lucky to have found Tusker House and could not wish for better care for her - I can't fault it at all.

P C (Daughter of Resident)

Looking for a care home for my mum who is 93 yrs of age who has dementia was very daunting challenge for me. I found Tusker House, it stated on their website that it was warm, friendly and has a relaxing atmosphere. This was so true. The staff are amazing and the care my mum receives is second to none. I would recommend Tusker House. I cannot speak highly enough of them.

Joseph H (Son of Resident)

My mum passed away after almost 5 happy years in Tusker House. She was really well cared for and her death was one to be envious of: calm, peaceful supported by people who knew her so well. Surrounded with her Beatles memorabilia and music playing in her own room, not alone and not suffering. We are incredibly grateful to the team of staff who made mum's life worth living again after 20 years of decline. I leave it to my mum's own words "I am so lucky to be here". She truly was.
