Sussex House has a clear and simple aim: to provide person-centred care in partnership with other professionals and our residents. We believe that people who choose to live with us should be at the centre of everything we do and that they should make decisions about their own care.
At the heart of our approach is the desire to give our residents maximum choice and enable them to lead full and independent lives. We pride ourselves in rehabilitating service users to return to their homes within the community

Our Quality Control:
The support team is led by a qualified and experienced manager, Melina Coggan. We support our staff through effective management, training opportunities and career progression.
Our commitment to providing our employees with appropriate training ensures that our residents are always looked after by experienced and well-trained care professionals, who understand the needs of each individual. Our home is regularly rated by external inspectors and inspection reports are available.
Sussex House provides support to staff and ensures they complete their training plans. This, in turn, ensures that full training records are kept. In addition, all staff undergo regular reviews, where they are able to discuss future training needs and requirements to fulfil their roles within the home.
Our maintenance team continually reviews and upgrades our home to ensure the accommodation is maintained to a high standard and is appropriate for the needs of our residents.
