The Good Care Group has delivered high-quality live in care to clients in Eastbourne for over a decade. Remaining at home can help people hold on to the routines, surroundings and everyday choices that are important to them, while receiving the support they need. Our one-to-one care is highly personalised, considering each client’s health and care requirements as well as their wishes, interests and social life so they can retain as much independence as possible.
We have been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Care Quality Commission across all five key areas – safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. This independent recognition offers families in Eastbourne further reassurance when choosing care at home.
Our live-in care service is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Care Quality Commission in all five key areas – safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. For families in Ealing, this provides added confidence in the quality and consistency of the care their loved one receives.
The right specialist care can make a significant difference to how someone manages a complex condition at home. In Eastbourne, our highly trained care teams support people living with dementia, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), alongside those who require stroke care, cancer care or palliative care. Our approach combines practical support with a detailed understanding of each person’s needs, preferences and quality of life.
Where additional clinical expertise is required, our nurse-led care in Eastbourne is overseen by a dedicated Specialist Consultant Nurse. Working closely with our care teams, they help ensure complex needs are managed safely and that care can adapt as a client’s condition changes.
Whether support is needed for mobility and frailty, recovery after an operation through convalescent care in Eastbourne, or simply for regular companionship care, we provide care that helps people remain connected to their routines, home and independence.
The support provided by our live-in carers in Eastbourne is always based on your individual circumstances. Following a free care consultation in your home, one of our Care Managers will put together a personalised care plan that reflects your care needs, preferences and daily routine.
Our local carers are overseen by a Regional Care Manager and supported by our wider central team. The services we provide across Eastbourne include:
This includes task-oriented care, such as bathing, dressing and continence support, as well as self-esteem care – including nail and hair grooming.
Our carers are matched to your values and interests so that you’re supported with emotional and psychological needs.
Professional carers use an electronic system for proactive medication management, which is closely monitored by care managers.
Your carer will plan and cook meals according to your choice, preferences and nutritional needs, all served at a time that suits you.
Carers will happily support looking after your pet, including dog walking, cleaning their homes and providing regular food and love.
Staying connected to your community is great for your well-being, which is why our carers will support you to access activities you enjoy.
Light housework, watering your plants and taking the bins out – keeping your house to the standards of cleanliness and tidiness you always have.
Ensuring safe mobility in and around your home, including assistance with mobility aids and avoiding slips, trips and fall hazards.
There are several different situations when live in care can be used to support your care and support needs, including:
Our nationwide service is supported by local management teams who remain closely involved in the care each client receives. In Eastbourne, Care Managers look after small client portfolios, which allows them to build strong relationships, provide regular support and ensure each care arrangement reflects the individual.
Professional carers in Eastbourne complete our industry-leading training before beginning a placement, whatever their previous background. The programme prepares them to support older people with a variety of conditions, including complex needs that require additional care, monitoring and attention.
Learning continues well beyond initial training. Through probation, placement and ongoing development, our carers strengthen their skills and knowledge so they can adapt their support as a client’s circumstances change.
Our live in care in Eastbourne is available throughout the town including, but not limited to the following areas:
Exceptional standards are at the heart of the live-in care we provide across Eastbourne. The Good Care Group holds a number of respected industry awards and accreditations, reflecting the quality of our service and giving families greater reassurance when choosing care at home.
Find out more about our approach to great live-in care in our video.
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
One of the main benefits of live-in care in Eastbourne is the freedom to continue living life in a way that feels familiar. Staying at home allows you to keep your own routines, surroundings and preferences, while dedicated one-to-one care can be adapted around the support you need rather than requiring you to fit into a set care-home timetable.
Couples can also remain together, even if both people require different levels of support. As well as preserving that sense of continuity, live-in care for couples can be more economical than paying for two care home places, as only a nominal additional fee is usually required.
There are several independent charities working throughout Eastbourne to support older people with different aspects of later life. Their services may include advice on specific conditions, help understanding care and funding options, practical support and opportunities to meet others locally, helping people continue to live fulfilling and independent lives.
Below are some local charities in Eastbourne that may be able to provide information, guidance and support for you and your family:
A survey conducted by the Live In Care Hub found that 97% of people, given the choice, would prefer to continue living at home while receiving care. Despite this, families facing a change in a loved one’s needs may assume that a care or nursing home is their only realistic option. While there are many good care homes in Eastbourne, live-in care can provide the support needed at home, helping people preserve familiar routines, independence and a good quality of life.
