We understand that finding support for a loved one with dementia isn't easy and choosing the right of level care can be a tough decision. We are Ivy House, a day centre based in central Eastbourne providing care and support for people diagnosed with dementia. We welcome funded and self-funded visitors.
We cater for all stages of dementia but with one single objective; to improve the quality of life for those with dementia and their families and carers. Our unique approach has proven results and, in many cases, home life can be continued for much longer than would otherwise be the case.

Family Feedback

Mum loves coming to The Ivy Club. She appreciates the care she receives, enjoys the friendly company and the fun she has there. It has made such a difference to her wellbeing and confidence and gives us peace of mind knowing that she's having such a caring and stimulating time. Thank you so much, Mum says "They are so lovely at the Ivy".
Dementiaville
Report
There is no prevention or cure for dementia so finding a way to live with it is essential. Ivy House are proud to have been a part of this Channel 4 commission in 2015 which shares the lives of four couples who have navigated life living with dementia and who used Ivy House for care. We remember the four wonderful husbands George, Derek, Vic and Mike who took part in this filming, may you rest in peace.

Concerned with the challenges of improving the quality of life for those living with dementia, Jane conceived the idea for Ivy House.
