Questions families ask

What should care homes for young adults offer?

Younger adults may want age-appropriate routines, relationships, work, education and community access alongside personal or nursing care. Ask how the service avoids an institutional or older-person-only model.

How many care homes for young adults are there in Lewes?

19 care homes for young adults in Lewes are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Lewes?

East Sussex council paid on average £948 a week for residential care and £990 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £2,118 and £1,679. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
