Compassionate Care Close to Home: Alzheimer’s Care Home Hastings by Tusker House

At Tusker House, we understand that choosing a care home is one of life’s most emotional decisions. As a trusted Alzheimer’s care home serving Hastings and the surrounding area, we are committed to offering a comforting, dignified environment for those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Our aim is to support residents and their loved ones at every step with empathy, professionalism and warmth.

A Home Designed Around Individual Needs

When someone moves to our Alzheimer’s care home in Hastings, we ensure that instead of it feeling daunting, it is enjoyable and goes as smoothly as possible. We begin with a full assessment to understand the person’s history, personality, preferences and medical needs. Every resident then receives a personalised care plan rooted in respect for their wishes. Whether it’s favourite foods, preferred daily routines or the small comforts of home, we ensure their voice remains central.

The home itself is spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with single and couples’ rooms, modern nurse-call systems and a computerised care planning system. We also encourage residents to bring personal items such as photos, ornaments or a piece of cherished furniture to help them feel settled. Additionally, our setting enables our residents to enjoy wonderful views over Hastings and the Channel and our all-weather garden provides a calm space to breathe and reflect.

Round-the-Clock, Expert Support

Living with Alzheimer’s demands constant vigilance, and at Tusker House we provide 24-hour care from a team who are thoroughly trained in dementia support. Our staff are not only skilled, they are compassionate, patient and driven by a belief in preserving dignity; with incontinence, mobility challenges or fluctuating health being met with discreet, respectful care.

We recognise that Alzheimer’s affects everyone differently and our flexible, person-centred approach allows us to adapt to change sensitively and swiftly.

Meaningful Days, Enriched Lives

Life at Tusker House is more than care; it’s about engagement, purpose and joy. Our activities programme is shaped by residents’ interests: gentle music, group outings, crafts, light exercise or reminiscing sessions. We also host entertainers, hold meetings with residents and work to keep life vibrant and stimulating.

If you are seeking an Alzheimer’s care home Hastings residents already rely on, we invite you to visit Tusker House. Let us show you how we blend expertise with kindness and how your loved one can live with dignity, security and fulfilment under our care.

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.
