After an emergency operation for a fractured hip, we asked Home Instead for four hours a week, to provide personal care for me as well as general help with laundry, cooking and housework. The carers were invaluable, punctual, professional, hard-working, encouraging and kind, and enabled me to reach
my goal to look after myself with the help of my husband.

We are grateful for the care provided for my mother in Uckfield and were very impressed by their consistency - we were NEVER let down in all the time they provided lunchtime visits. We also appreciated the regular checks they did to ensure they were providing the care my mother needed.

May father was supported by Home Instead from around March 2017 until September 2018. Every day he received a visit in the morning and the evening without fail. Each visit was 1 hour during which the carer on duty would prepare a meal for him, assess his condition and carry out any tasks, such as shopping
etc that he asked for. The carers were extremely kind and caring and went the extra mile whenever they could. Every carer that visited my father took time to chat with him and many of them became firm friends with him. The Home Instead management team went out their way to accommodate us when we were starting out navigating and learning the system. The managers visited regularly and contacted me if they needed to discuss anything. When the state and county council could not offer suitable support Home Instead was there and for that, I will always be grateful. This is a fantastic team and I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Home Instead.

Amazing care company. They give the best care to my grandmother in her old age, leaving our family extremely happy and comfortable letting her spend her final few years in the home she has always been in with the things connected to all her memories.
Always informing us of how my grandmother is if
one of us can't make it down to see her on a particular day.
Thank you so much, everyone at Home Instead Lewes, I hope your company will continue to run for many years to come!

I started using Home Instead at the start of October having never used an agency with trepidation. Any concerns were removed when I met the team. A carer visits mum twice a week and it is going really well. They accompany my mum to her singing choir and cook her a meal which she enjoys. They really
go the extra mile to ensure mum is happy and having continuity fo care really helps. The agency has really helped mum remain independent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Home Instead.

After an operation in hospital I needed personal care for a few weeks. Organising this with Home Instead Senior Care was trouble free. The carers were absolutely marvellous. They would do everything in a professional and friendly manner.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.817 for Home Instead (Lewes District & Uckfield) is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.817

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Lewes District & Uckfield) is based on 12 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Alison Scutt

Job Title: Owner & Registered Care Manager

Hi, I’m Alison and I’m the joint Owner of Home Instead Lewes District & Uckfield. I am also the Registered Care Manager, delivering our City and Guilds accredited Dementia training.


I have lived in Sussex for nearly 25 years and believe that everyone has the right to live in a way that makes them happy and safe. Your home represents who you are, it holds all of your memories and it's where you should be able to feel secure and comfortable.


Through personal experience with my own parents, I've found how important it is to have the right care in place. You want a care service for your family that you can rely on and are happy with. It can often be difficult to know where to turn, especially if you live far away or are working long hours.


At Home Instead Lewes District & Uckfield, we provide the kind of care I'd want for my loved ones. And over the years I have learned that relationship and trust-building are at the heart of delivering a quality service which empowers our clients to thrive.


I am passionate about making a real difference in people's lives and look forward to meeting you!
