About Apex Prime Care
Apex Prime Care in Newhaven provides support in people's own homes across Newhaven and the surrounding part of East Sussex. We work with older people, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our first meeting is a conversation rather than an assessment. What has genuinely become difficult? What do you still manage and would rather we left alone? What would take the most pressure off this week? Times and tasks come from those answers, because a plan written the other way round describes a category rather than a person. The work covers personal care, medication, meals, mobility, household jobs, shopping, appointments and unhurried company. For some of the people we support it is different again: somebody alongside them at college, at work, at a group or on the bus into town. Continuity is what we work hardest at. We keep the same small team around each person, give proper notice before anything changes, and hold to what we agreed even when a rota would rather we did not. For autistic people especially, knowing what is coming is a large part of what makes support workable at all. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking the households we visit what needs to be better.
