Care at Home Services (South East) Ltd was formed in 1993, as a privately owned, independent family company supplying care at home within the local areas of Bexhill, Hastings and St Leonard’s.
Over the years, further offices have been added across East Sussex and Kent, and the company is now one of the leading providers of care to service users funded by East Sussex and Kent County Councils, as well as having a very substantial private client base core.
Today, our six local offices and four extra care settings employ more than 500 people who look after over 1800 adults in need of care at home, living throughout Sussex and Kent.
Although the business has grown substantially, its founding principle remains the same since inception: – to provide the best possible standards of care so that those who want to, can remain living independent lives in the comfort and security of their own homes.
Expansion over the decades has also encompassed diversification. We now provide a huge range of Care at Home Services: a Hospital Admission Prevention Service and Discharge Support Service; Complex Care; End of Life Care; Live-in care services; 24 hour management and care at home provision for Extra Care schemes.
Our founder, Deborah McDowell, remains Chief Executive Office of the Care at Home Group of companies.
