Questions families ask
Do they offer respite care after hospital discharge?
Yes. They offer respite care for people discharged from hospital and for those whose full-time carers need time away from their caring responsibilities.
What time does day care run?
Day care runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., providing a daytime care option for people who do not need residential accommodation.
What happens before someone moves into care?
They complete a thorough pre-admission assessment with the prospective resident, their GP and relatives before creating a personalised care plan.
Do residents have their own doctor and care plan?
Yes. Residents are attended by their own doctors, and each person has a care plan that is monitored and updated regularly.
Can residents choose where to have their meals?
Yes. Meals can be served in a resident’s room or eaten with other residents in the dining room, allowing residents to choose the setting that suits them.
How much does Dorley House Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dorley House Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, East Sussex council paid on average £948 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
