SUSSEX HEALTHCARE

Sussex Healthcare is an independent company providing care homes and support services based primarily in Sussex. At Sussex Healthcare, the central focus and daily priority remains solely on the residents who are given individualized care from the most compassionate and well-trained employees in the area. The entire organization focuses on quality of life for each resident, and this is reflected in the emphasis on multi-faceted care approaches, calming, home-like environments and plenty of leis... ure activities. As a health care facility, this organization stands alone as the best in its class. While individuals and their family members certainly have many places to look for quality health care these days, Sussex Healthcare is seen as the best in every locality where it has planted a residential home or care facility. It brings truly unique care through individualized health care plans and an emphasis on strong leadership, quality health team management and safe standards of care as is evidenced by its dual accreditation in Health Quality Services and ISO 9000:2000. In fact, this is the only care facility in the United Kingdom that has achieved this high standard. Although there is certainly an emphasis on quality of care, there is an even bigger emphasis here on creating long-lasting relationships between staff members and residents. Residents are not seen merely as nameless patients or as a job that must be fulfilled. Instead, each resident is seen as a precious individual who can benefit in body, mind and emotions with well-thought-out care, activities that emphasize new preferences and old hobbies and care plans that meet residents exactly where they are in their lives. Sussex Healthcare offers a full range of programs through physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, music therapists and many other care professionals. While there is certainly a place for frequent health initiatives to improve one’s body, Sussex also believes that people benefit from a whole body approach. In addition, residents have access to alternative treatments as well, such as acupuncture and massage. Sussex Healthcare treats a wide range of adult health conditions, including individuals who need a bit more help than they would find living semi-independently. For example, seniors, including those with dementia and other neurological conditions, are a major population at many residential care facilities. However, other facilities are dedicated to helping adults of all ages who have physical or mental disabilities that require continual hands-on care. Some facilities also provide the option of respite care to allow adult caretakers in the home to take a break for a short time while their loved one receives care at Sussex. Finally, the organization offers respectful and compassionate palliative care when the end of life is near. With over 20 facilities, Sussex Healthcare offers a variety of programs and services to help a wide range of individuals. Of these, seven are for senior citizens and 13 are for special needs adults. They also provide a dental practice, an audiology practice, a gym, a daycare and much more. Clearly, an emphasis on quality of health and fullness of life are ever-present goals throughout the entire organization.
