About Delore Care
Delore Care Eastbourne provides support at home to adults in Eastbourne and the surrounding part of East Sussex. We visit older people who need help to carry on living in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. Our visits cover personal care given without rushing, prompting and support with medication, meals, laundry, shopping and help to get out to appointments or simply out for some air. Some people need one short call a day, others several longer ones, and needs shift over time, so we review arrangements honestly rather than letting a care plan drift. For people living with dementia, home is often the very thing keeping them settled, and that makes continuity essential. The same carers arriving at the same times will do more good than anything else we could offer. For people with sight or hearing loss we pay attention to how we announce ourselves, how we explain what we are doing and how a room is arranged, because those small habits decide whether somebody feels in control or merely handled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you are arranging care at home locally.
