Care for Someone with Dementia in East Sussex

Home > Care for Someone with Dementia in East Sussex

When your loved one begins to face the challenges of dementia, finding the right place to provide both care and calm is essential. At our care home in East Sussex, we believe in offering more than just a safe space: we commit to creating a genuine home where people living with dementia are treated with warmth, individuality and purpose.

A Welcoming Environment for Every Day

From the moment you and your family walk through our doors, you will sense the difference. Our house is family-run by a team with decades of experience in dementia care, so we understand the emotional weight of the decisions you face. We aim to ease that transition by inviting you to visit, meet the team and see how our rooms, lounges, dining areas and gardens are all designed with dignity and comfort in mind.

Our philosophy centres on person-centred care: recognising that each resident brings their own story, habits and interests. Whether someone prefers a quiet corner or a lively activity, our approach adapts. We place great emphasis on meaningful engagement: from reminiscence sessions and arts to simply sharing a cup of tea while enjoying the view over Hastings and the English Channel.

Specialist Care Tailored to Dementia

Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease bring unique challenges: to memory, to mood, to how someone experiences the world. We have chosen our team for not only their qualifications but their empathy and patience. They receive ongoing training so that every step of support: from mobility and nutrition to memory triggers and emotional comfort: is delivered with dignity.

Our home is also equipped for residents’ changing needs. With two lifts, hoisting equipment, en-suite wet rooms and a nurse-call system, we ensure safety and responsiveness without losing the sense of ease and belonging.

Making Life Meaningful

At Tusker House, we believe that life with dementia should still include joy, purpose and connection. Whether it’s enjoying freshly cooked meals made on-site, personalising a bedroom with treasured items or spending time in a garden overlooking the sea, our aim is that each resident feels valued, comfortable and appropriately challenged.

If you are looking for quality care for someone living with dementia in East Sussex, we invite you to explore our home. We are here to answer your questions, offer a warm introduction and support your family during this important step. Let us help your journey be one of care, respect and real living.

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

Dianne N (Daughter of Resident)

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.
