My aunt has Alzheimer's. So lucky to have found the Pheonix Day Care Centre at Lewes as there are no equivalent facilities for my aunt in Brighton. She attends 5 days a week, and it gives her a sense of purpose to get up and get ready in the mornings. The staff understand her needs and are skilled at dealing with situations that may occur. She is always happy to be there, and it is a great relief knowing that she is in safe hands. My aunt is a sociable person and enjoys seeing the other clients and staff. She also enjoys the entertainers who visit regularly. At meal times, the staff give her the help she needs, sometimes it's just cutting up her food, other times she may need encouragement to eat and drink. The food is always tasty and nutritious. The staff are very professional, and the facilities are excellent.

My aunt has Alzheimer's. There are few places that offer daycare support, so when I discovered the Phoenix Centre at Lewes, I could not believe my luck. The staff are amazing, and the facilities outstanding. From the moment my aunt arrives until the moment she leaves, she has a smile on her face. The food is both very tasty and nutritious. There is always plenty of activities going on and there are also outside musicians and entertainers who visit regularly.

I can only speak for the Phoenix as this is the only centre involved.
I can only say that I am amazed at the activity facilities which are available.
My wife and I (main carer) are delighted with our connection so far.

We have been coming to this centre for 3 months now. After an initial visit when we were shown around all the facilities, we had coffee and biscuits and joined in the session running at the time. All the staff are fantastic - caring, cheeky and determined to ensure everyone has an enjoyable day and look forward to future days. Lunch cooked on premises is fantastic. Very flexible hours available on daily basis. All clients treated with dignity and nothing is too much trouble for the staff who love to be looking after everyone.

When my relative first visited the Pheonix Day Centre in Lewes, she was very apprehensive and quite agitated but after a few months, this changed as I believe she joins in with most activities now.
The staff are very dedicated and caring and keep me informed regularly.
The cost per day may be an issue.

My mother thoroughly enjoyed her time at the Phoenix and looked forward to each visit. She enjoyed all the activities and being both entertained and looked after. The staff were amazing. They are so caring and alerted us to problems that we had not been made aware of elsewhere quickly and efficiently. They preserved her dignity in what could have been embarrassing situations for her in a sensitive and caring way. The staff went beyond the call of duty to arrange for the doctor and nurses to visit which helped us enormously. They organised for her to have her hair done which she adored and was so proud to show off her new hairstyles to us! The staff are so approachable and nothing was ever too much trouble. They dealt with everything with good humour. I would definitely recommend the Phoenix centre to anyone looking for care for a relative with dementia.

Before Dad attended the centre, he was asked would he like to go and see if he liked it? This was really beneficial. He enjoys all the activities especially the music but he doesn't always take part due to bad health but is never made to feel awkward. The food is of a good standard. The centre always makes good contact to advise me of anything I need to know. Dad really enjoys the days he attends.

My husband suffers from Alzheimer's and for him to use the Phoenix Centre five days a week is a great relief to me. As you will see in the boxes I have ticked below, I would recommend the Phoenix Centre to anybody who needs a few hours of me time! The staff and transport team are all so kind and supportive of my husband's needs, I can't fault them. I say a big thank you to all of them.

My mother has a good home cooked meal. Staff keep one eye on residents regarding health and safety. Entertains them with exercise daily, music, artwork, baking and personal requirements.
