About Us

We at Dinarie are proud to provide compassionate home care across Battle and the surrounding East Sussex communities, supporting older people and younger adults to live well in the place they know best: their own home.

Rooted in the historic market town of Battle within the TN postcode area, our team works throughout the local neighbourhoods and villages, bringing personalised support directly to the doorsteps of those who need it. Home care means the familiar surroundings of your loved one's own living room, their favourite armchair by the window, and the comfort of neighbours and memories close by. There is no upheaval, no unfamiliar environment to adjust to, just thoughtful care woven gently into the rhythm of everyday life.

Our specialisms centre on older person care, home care, and support for younger adults, which means we are equipped to walk alongside people at very different stages of life. For an older relative, this might mean help with morning routines, medication reminders, preparing a warm meal, or simply the reassurance of a friendly face checking in. For a younger adult, our approach is shaped around independence, encouraging confidence and offering the practical support needed to pursue the life they want to lead. In every case, we take time to understand each person as an individual, listening carefully to families so that the care we provide reflects genuine preferences, routines, and values.

The Care Quality Commission awarded Dinarie an overall rating of Good at its most recent inspection, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. This independent recognition reflects our commitment to delivering care that is kind, skilled, and centred on the people we support. The Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we take that feedback seriously, viewing it as a valuable opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance so that every aspect of what we do matches the warmth our care team brings each day.

Choosing home care is a deeply personal decision, and we understand the weight families carry when weighing up the right support for someone they love. If you would like to learn more about how we could help your family in Battle or the wider East Sussex area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. A conversation costs nothing, and it may bring the peace of mind you have been searching for.

Frequently asked questions

What is CareAssura?

CareAssura is a free online directory of every CQC registered care home, nursing home and home care agency in England. We bring CQC ratings, detailed provider profiles, fees guidance and independent information together in one place so families can search, compare and shortlist care with confidence. Whether you are planning ahead or arranging care urgently, you can explore options by location, care type and specialist need, then contact providers directly once you have found the right fit.

Is CareAssura free to use?

Yes. CareAssura is completely free for families and individuals looking for care. You can search, browse full profiles, compare settings side by side, read reviews and make enquiries at no cost. The service is funded by care providers who choose to enhance their own listings, so families never pay to use it.

Are all care homes on CareAssura CQC registered?

Yes. CareAssura only lists care settings registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Every profile shows the provider's most recent overall CQC rating of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement or Inadequate, along with the individual ratings for safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and leadership where these are available. This lets you judge quality at a glance and explore the detail before you visit.

How do I find a care home near me?

Enter a town, city or postcode in the search bar on our homepage and we will show the care settings nearest to you. You can then filter by care type, by CQC rating, and by specialist needs such as dementia, respite or learning disability support. Each result links to a full profile with photos, facilities, fees guidance and contact details, so you can build a shortlist and reach out to the providers that suit your situation.

What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

A care home, sometimes called a residential care home, provides personal care such as help with washing, dressing, meals and daily living, alongside companionship and activities. A nursing home offers all of this plus qualified nurses on site around the clock, so it can support people with complex, ongoing or changing medical needs. If you are unsure which is right, the care types listed on each profile show exactly what that provider is registered to deliver.

When does someone need a nursing home rather than residential care?

A nursing home is usually the right choice when someone has medical needs that require regular attention from a qualified nurse, for example complex medication, wound care, PEG feeding, or conditions such as advanced dementia, Parkinson's or the later stages of a long term illness. Many people move from residential to nursing care as their needs increase. If a needs assessment identifies a primary health need, you may also be eligible for NHS funded nursing care or NHS Continuing Healthcare.

How much do nursing homes cost in England?

Nursing home fees vary by region and by the level of care required, and are typically higher than residential care because of the round the clock nursing provided. As a general guide, weekly fees often range from around £950 to £1,600 or more. Where a registered nurse is needed, the NHS may contribute a weekly Funded Nursing Care payment towards the nursing element. Our Funding Calculator and FNC Calculator can help you estimate likely costs and any support you may receive.

What is a home care agency?

A home care agency, also known as a domiciliary care agency, provides trained carers who visit a person in their own home to support daily life. This can range from a short daily visit helping with washing, dressing, medication and meals, through to several visits a day or live in care. Home care helps people stay independent in familiar surroundings for longer, and like care homes, agencies in England are registered with and inspected by the CQC.

Is home care cheaper than a care home?

It depends on how much support is needed. For a few hours of help a week, home care is usually more affordable than moving into a care home. As needs grow towards several visits a day or live in care, the cost can become similar to, or higher than, residential care. Home care also lets a person keep their own home, which many families prefer. We list CQC registered home care agencies so you can compare local options and their ratings.

How do I choose a good home care agency?

Start by checking the agency's CQC rating and reading its profile and reviews on CareAssura. Look at the range of support offered, whether they can provide consistent carers, how they handle medication and emergencies, and whether they cover your area. It helps to write down the specific tasks and times you need, then speak to two or three agencies to compare their approach, availability and fees before you decide.

Can I start with home care and move to a care home later?

Yes, and many families do exactly that. Home care is often the first step, increasing as needs change, with a move to a residential or nursing home later if round the clock support becomes necessary. Because CareAssura lists residential, nursing and home care providers together, you can plan the whole journey in one place and keep your shortlist updated as circumstances change.
