About Homescare
We at Homescare Peacehaven are a residential care home nestled in the coastal town of Peacehaven, East Sussex, offering compassionate residential care, dementia support, and respite provision for older people and younger adults alike. Our home sits within the welcoming BN postcode area, benefiting from the gentle sea air and community feel that define this stretch of the South East coast. Our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel like a genuine home rather than an institution. Peacehaven itself offers a peaceful backdrop, and residents enjoy the calming influence of a town that balances coastal charm with easy access to the wider Sussex region. Families visiting loved ones will find the location convenient, whilst those we care for benefit from familiar surroundings that support a sense of belonging and continuity. Our approach to care is shaped by the individuals who live with us. For older people, we focus on maintaining independence, dignity, and daily routines that reflect each resident's preferences and life story. Our dementia care is delivered with patience and understanding, recognising that every person's journey is unique. We work closely with families to build a picture of who their loved one is, so that memory difficulties never overshadow the personality and history that make each resident special. We also welcome younger adults whose care needs require a supportive residential environment, tailoring our support to promote wellbeing, choice, and meaningful daily engagement. For families needing a short term solution, whether following a hospital stay, during a carer's break, or simply to trial residential living, our respite care offers a warm and flexible option. Respite stays give peace of mind to family carers whilst ensuring their loved one experiences the same quality of attention as our permanent residents. Following our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection in February 2025, we received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We believe in being open about this. The inspection recognised that our team performs well in the areas that matter deeply to residents and families: we were rated Good for being Effective, Good for being Caring, and Good for being Responsive. This reflects the warmth of our staff, the personalised nature of our support, and our commitment to meeting individual needs. The areas identified for improvement, relating to Safe and Well-led, are receiving our focused attention, and we are committed to strengthening these aspects so that every part of our provision reaches the standard our residents deserve. Transparency matters to us, particularly when families are making one of the most important decisions of their lives. We would rather share where we are on our journey than gloss over it, and we welcome conversations about the steps we are taking to improve. If you are exploring care options for a loved one in Peacehaven or the surrounding East Sussex area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Visiting in person is often the best way to sense whether a home feels right, and we would be delighted to show you around, answer your questions, and listen to what matters most to your family. Choosing care is a deeply personal decision, and we are here to walk alongside you with honesty, kindness, and care.
