  • Homescare Ltd, Seaford
Homescare Ltd is one of the No1 leading care providers in Seaford, Denton, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Lewes in East Sussex.

Registered with the Care Quality Commission in November 2021 and accredited with Support of Confidence (East Sussex County Council), Homescare Ltd provides compassionate person-centred care to the main towns of Seaford through to Lewes and surrounding areas.

Their ethos is person-centred, and care is fully bespoke and tailored to each individual client's needs and wishes. Experienced care staff are matched with clients based on common interests. The same staff visit at the same times to maintain consistency which enables a relationship based on trust to develop.

All care visits are for a minimum of 30mins, 1hrs or Block Calls min 2hrs. This allows the service to be flexible to the daily changing needs of the clients and means that much more varied and stimulating activities are possible. Whether within their own home or by going out into the local community, the team can support people with complex conditions and have a particular expertise in supporting people living with dementia.

Activities can vary from assistance with shopping trips, companionship, escorting to appointments or social engagements, as well as home help, meal preparation, personal care, and support with medication.

The team offer ‘outside the box’ support, which may be walking the dog, help with tidying-up, trips out to garden centre or other things that are not care related, if you're lonely and would like company.

Excellent help from both the managers over the last twelve months. They, and other staff members I have met, are most helpful and are a pleasure to work with. I always look forward to my carers visits.

I’ve been very happy with the care I’ve received.
All the staff have been kind and helpful, encouraging me to regain my independence after I fell and broke my shoulder.
All the staff have been friendly and I have had consistent carers not lots of different people.
It has felt like a very caring
and personal service.
I would definitely use Homescare again if I needed to.

All the carers are friendly and efficient. The initial assessment was very helpful and they went out of their way to get to know and understand my mother in law. Great service reasonably priced and very flexible. Thank you.

I was very happy with the carers and they were a big help to my dad whilst he was recovering from a period in hospital. In the early weeks, gently encouraged him to enable independent living.
Homescare was accommodating to any changes that he needed to make to his care package.
I would have no hesitation
in endorsing this company.

Very grateful to the manager and her team for stepping in at short notice when my father-in-law had an accident leaving him unable to undertake personal care. He is very happy with the care he has received at home where he is most comfortable. Once recovery was getting there, the Manager and the team
have encouraged him to begin to build independence slowly which has built his confidence and he has since ventured out independently too.


Thank you.

I worked in a professional capacity with this company and found them to be extremely efficient, caring and friendly.
Our mutual clients were always impressed by their kindness and support, and the way they kept the family updated with their welfare.

I would like to retract my earlier review which I felt slightly bullied into posting. I would no longer recommend using this company. The carer that they sent was lovely, however the organisation was far from caring.

Reply from emma field, Director at Homescare Ltd

I feel this is an unfair review as provided person-centred care from 2022, as close of POC this has been taken personally from NOK.

Homescare have been incredibly responsive and supportive of our needs. My mother is a quadriplegic and so she cannot be left alone and she needs help with everything. The Carers we have had come in from Homescare have been excellent. They are practical and friendly and very calm. Just an excellent service.
The Care Manager is always willing to help in whatever way she can.

I have been very satisfied with the service you provide and would happily recommend your agency to others.
I liked the fact that, except for one day in the three weeks, the same carer came every day. It enables one to form a relationship with that carer.

I have found my mother's carers to be extremely helpful and polite. My mother has commented how lovely they are. Nothing is too much trouble for them. A well-run business with a team of friendly, patient and respectful people.

I have nothing but praise for the support I had from this wonderful company. All the staff were so kind and caring, and had the utmost respect for my husband and indeed myself in the last few months if his life. They preserved his dignity at all times, and were a massive comfort to me at a most distressing
time. Thankyou Homecare. I thoroughly recommend your services.

From the moment of first contact with the owner, we have been delighted with the service. She clearly explained what care my mum needed and how we could get help. We chose them based on the fact they were local and that the times fitted in with what we needed. We couldn’t be more pleased. The timekeeping
has been excellent. The staff are exceptional and all the staff seem happy in their job and with the service they provide. All the careers have gone above and beyond to help my parents in their care but also to chat. They very willingly will carry out any housework that is needed. A very hard act to improve on. Thank you

We have had weekly assistance over the last couple of months and are extremely pleased with the standard of care provided.
Staff are both kind and thoughtful, as well as providing my wife with the opportunity for fresh conversation to brighten her day.
The office is easy to contact and we cannot fault

My mum needed support with personal care following a hospital admission, prior to this she was mobile and independent. the manager her team have been supporting Mum for several weeks now, morning and evening.
The standard of care has been consistently good. My mum requires two carers to assist her
during each visit and Homescare have kept this to a small team of consistent carers to help my Mum (and Dad) adapt and to develop good relationships. Experienced carers have always accompanied carers that are new to my Mum, ensuring suitable training, a person-centred approach, safety and much needed consistency.


All the care team we've met are friendly, personable, pay attention to detail, & show a desire to get to know my Mum in order to support her in a way that most suits her. Mum found having care at home challenging initially, however the Homescare team have worked gently & consistently to reduce the anxiety & uncertainty for her.


Reliable with great time keeping too, would recommend.

We find the carers very supportive and very kind to Mum. They support us so that we can visit my mum as her children. I would highly recommend homecare in all aspects, they help with feeding, cleaning and my mum loves that they will watch the TV with her or evening play cards.

Homescare's carers have been looking after our dad (aged late eighties, with mobility issues and moderate dementia) in his sheltered flat for most of this year. We're grateful for the level of care and for their kindness, patience, cheerfulness, humour, practicality and flexibility, including adjustments
to suit the changing daily schedule, and keeping track of essential medication. Recommended.

I have been very impressed with the carers who have assisted in looking after my husband with dementia. They have all been friendly and efficient and have all made a great effort to keep him entertained, which is extremely difficult at the stage he is now. They have been punctual and adaptable, kind
and patient. The owner came and did an assessment of my husband to see what his needs were, which she carried out with empathy and efficiency. Altogether an impressive organisation.

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

    The Average Rating of 4.646 for Homescare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.646

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Homescare Ltd is based on 13 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.
