Compassionate, Personalised Care in East Sussex

Home > Compassionate, Personalised Care in East Sussex

When the time comes to seeking care for someone with Alzheimers East Sussex, it can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you know your loved one will feel safe, understood and valued?

At Tusker House, we understand just how emotional this decision can be. As a family-run home with decades of experience, we have been supporting individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s since 1965.

Our role is simple: to offer compassionate care that allows every resident to live with dignity, comfort and a true sense of belonging.

A Specialist Approach to Alzheimer’s Care

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s requires more than routine support. It demands patience, empathy and a deep understanding of each individual’s needs. That’s why our approach is centred around person-led care.

We take the time to learn each resident’s story, preferences and routines so we can provide support that feels natural and respectful. Our experienced team is specially trained in dementia care, ensuring our residents are supported at every stage of their journey.

Furthermore, continuous professional development allows us to stay aligned with best practices, delivering care that is both compassionate and informed.

A Residential Care Home East Sussex Families Can Trust

Choosing a residential care home East Sussex families can rely on is one of life’s most important decisions. At Tusker House, we aim to make that choice easier by offering a safe, welcoming and homely environment.

Our home is designed to feel comfortable and familiar, with residents encouraged to personalise their rooms with treasured belongings. We know that maintaining a sense of identity is vital, particularly for those living with memory loss.

From nutritious, home-cooked meals to carefully planned daily activities, every aspect of life here is designed to support wellbeing. Residents can enjoy social interaction, creative sessions and quiet relaxation, all tailored to their individual abilities and interests.

Begin the Next Chapter with Confidence

Making the move into care doesn’t have to feel daunting. With the right support, it can be a positive new chapter filled with comfort, companionship and expert care.

At Tusker House, we are here to guide you through that journey: because your loved one deserves nothing less than understanding, dignity and a place they can truly call home.

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.
