About Alice Court Care Home
Alice Court Care Home is in Eastbourne. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and some younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We aim for an ordinary, comfortable household. Residents get up when they wake, eat what they actually enjoy and spend their days as they choose. Some are sociable and are downstairs from breakfast onwards. Others would rather have their own room, their own television and a quiet word with somebody who is not in a hurry. Both are perfectly reasonable. Where someone has a physical disability we pay attention to equipment, access and the amount of help we offer. Doing too much for a person is a real loss and it creeps in easily, so we keep asking what somebody would rather manage themselves. Dementia care here rests on familiar staff, a steady rhythm and knowing something of a person's earlier life. Families often supply the detail that explains everything, and we ask for it early. Where somebody is distressed, we look for the cause. Being in Eastbourne, the seafront is close and a change of scene is easy to arrange. Respite stays suit family carers needing a break and people recovering after illness or hospital. Please come and look round Alice Court and ask us whatever you need to.
