Live-In Care in Battle
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Battle: a trained carer, DBS-checked, comes to share your relative's home, looks after meals and medication and is on hand through the night, so that they can keep their own front door, their own armchair and their own routine. A single conversation will tell you whether this could suit the person you are worried about.
A discharge from the Conquest Hospital may be agreed with very little notice, and the house has to be warm, stocked and safe by the time the transport pulls up. Tell us the date and we will plan the carer, the first meal and the first night around it.
Many of the High Street's houses date from the 15th to 17th centuries, and an old home can make daily tasks harder. Ring 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Battle: An Abbey Gatehouse, a Tapestry and a Familiar High Street
Imagine a woman of eighty-four who did needlework all her life and has not threaded a needle since her husband died. Her live-in carer suggests a slow walk up the High Street to St Mary the Virgin church, opposite the abbey, which holds the Battle Tapestry, 3.2 metres long, modelled on the Bayeux Tapestry and stitched by 741 people. She leans in to study the stitching and tells the carer how she would have worked the horses, and by teatime she is hunting through a drawer for her old thimble. Her son hears the story on the phone that evening.
If someone you love has put down a hobby they once cared about, mention it when we first talk, and the carer can begin from there. Call us and we will think about what could bring a favourite pastime back into the week.
An afternoon like that rests on a plain, reliable routine at home, so this is how a live-in carer shapes an ordinary day in the house, from the first kettle of the morning to the last tablet at night.
A Gentle Start
Washing, dressing and breakfast follow your relative's own pace, with the radio on if they like. With the carer already living in the house, there are no arrival slots to watch for.
Fresh Air and Flowerbeds
The Almonry Gardens, kept up by the volunteer group Beautiful Battle, have an upper garden, a lower garden and a courtyard, and have won gold in the South and South East in Bloom competition. For a longer outing the carer can steer towards Battle Great Wood, more than 450 acres of woodland on the east side of town.
Medicines and Clinic Visits
Each dose is handed over on time and written down. When there is a clinic at the Conquest Hospital or a visit to the GP, the carer goes too, listens to the advice and passes it on to the family.
Food They Fancy
Soup on a cold day, a proper roast on Sunday: the carer cooks what your relative likes and what any dietary advice allows. Fish can come from Holy Mackerel on the High Street, a seafood bar and fishmonger, and stalls at the Abbey Green farmers market are listed for the third Saturday of the month.
Talk, Photos and Local Stories
A wet afternoon might be spent over old photographs, or with a visit to the Battle Museum of Local History, beside the Almonry, which holds the oldest known effigy head of Guy Fawkes. The carer listens for the memories that each object stirs.
A Calm Night
When the evening ends the carer checks the doors, leaves a night light on and clears anything a foot might catch on. If your relative wakes in the dark and feels uneasy, a familiar person is close by.

Why Battle Families Choose NeeryVille Care
We searched for live in care in Battle the way an anxious son or daughter would, and read the pages that came up. Another provider's Battle page shows live-in rates starting from £800 a week, notes that rates are set by independent carers, and names no hospital or council. A TrustedCare listing for a Battle provider gives weekly prices from £1,400 and shows no hospital, council link or FAQ. A homecare directory counts 25 live-in providers around Battle with an average of £1,442 a week, and no frequently asked questions. None of them links to the county council. Our page gives you one daily price, the hospital, the council and dementia help in one place, and the carer is employed by NeeryVille Care. Here is why Battle families choose us.
One Familiar Face
Within two weeks the carer has learned how your relative takes their tea, where the best light falls in the sitting room and what song to hum. The face at the bedroom door has become a friend.
Our same-carer approach rests on that closeness, which matters most when dementia has started to make the world feel unfamiliar.
Two Weeks to Be Sure
Should the arrangement not feel right, you can stop it at any point in the first 14 days. There is no notice period and no fee.
This is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so Battle families can try live-in care without any worry about being locked in.
Carers Who Work for Us
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Each carer is employed, trained and supervised by us, not sent through an agency at the last minute. You are welcome to look at our registration on the CQC website.
Clinical Guidance
Every placement follows a clinical governance framework developed with experienced clinicians, so care stays consistent for people with dementia, Parkinson’s disease or the after-effects of a stroke.
A Carer in Two Days
A ward can bring a discharge date forward overnight. When your relative is ready to leave the Conquest Hospital, we act fast: a carer who suits them can frequently be installed in one to two days, so 24 hour care in Battle is already running when they get home. Name the day and we work back from it.
Overseen by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and deep experience with dementia, and he is accountable for each placement. Ring and you will reach him or a colleague who knows the details of every case.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?
Call us on
0208 129 5854.
We will listen to your situation, answer every question you have and give you the time you need to make the right decision.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Dementia Care and Respite Care in Battle: When the Old House Feels Too Big
It rarely starts with a decision. First a pile of unopened post appears by the door, then a kitchen that is cold at lunchtime, then a name that cannot quite be found.
Consider a man of eighty-eight, in an old Battle house, whose wife used to deal with every letter and every bill. He stops opening envelopes and eats toast for supper. After a bad fall he spends a night at the Conquest Hospital, and the doctors say he should not be alone. A live-in carer then moves in, sorts the post with him, cooks hot meals and gives him his tablets, and the house gets its routine back. If that sounds close to your own family, call us before the next fall.
In time the carer learns which photographs on the sideboard matter most, and the silence in the rooms eases.
Perhaps the one who needs a rest is you, after months on call for a parent or spouse. With respite care in Battle, a live-in carer moves into your relative's home for a weekend, a fortnight or longer, and you get proper sleep. Send us the dates and we handle the planning.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Battle
Our live-in carers in Battle support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, from Marley and Watch Oak to Netherfield, Telham and Whatlington (postcode TN33).
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Together in Their Own Home: Couples in Battle
Picture a husband and wife who repaired clocks together for forty years, in a town once known for its clock and watchmakers. He now has a heart condition and tires on stairs, and she has memory loss that makes her stand puzzled in the doorway of the workshop. Each steadies the other, and neither will hear the words care home.
One live-in carer can look after both, supporting him with the stairs and staying close to her. Ring us to find out how one placement covers two people.

Why Battle Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived in Battle for years, live-in care keeps the abbey gatehouse, the High Street and the neighbours within reach of their everyday life.
William's victory over Harold on 14 October 1066 led to the abbey, consecrated in 1095, and the town grew up outside its gates. Someone whose life has been spent in a place with that story may find it hard to think of living anywhere else.
At home they sleep in their own bed, use their own cupboards and keep their own rhythm. One carer moves in and learns the small habits, so the same person is there at breakfast and at bedtime, and a husband and wife can stay together with a single carer helping them both.
Some of the town's houses are timber-framed buildings from the 15th to 17th centuries, and the Conquest Hospital stands at St Leonards-on-Sea when a hospital stay is needed. A live-in carer helps with the stairs, the errands and the walks, and after a hospital stay the same carer can be waiting at home.
To talk about what could work for your family, call 0208 129 5854. Ask us anything, with no obligation.
Battle Live-In Care Price: £190 Per Day, Written Down
Most families want the cost settled before anything else, so here it is.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Battle starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After your free assessment you receive the exact figure in writing, and nothing begins until you have read it.
What Your Daily Rate Pays For
A typical week in Battle could take in a Saturday visit to the Abbey Green farmers market, a free hour at the Battle Museum of Local History, a ride on the Southeastern train to Hastings, and a Sunday walk to the abbey gatehouse. Each day's fee covers a live-in carer who sleeps under the same roof and can be woken at night, plus help to wash and dress, freshly cooked food, medication given and logged, support moving about the house, a companion for appointments and a hand with the shopping list.
A few cases, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation, call for a proper chat before we settle a figure. Explain what is different and we will work it through with you.
Paying for Care at Home in Battle
Where someone's main need is a health need, NHS Continuing Healthcare, which the NHS pays for, may meet the cost of their care, and it deserves a look before other routes.
East Sussex County Council runs adult social care for Battle. Its guide says you can start a Care Act needs assessment online through the adult social care portal, or contact the council by phone, email or web form, and that someone will usually call you first to talk through your situation. Carers can ask for an assessment of their own through an online form. This is here for information, and nobody has to start with it.
Age UK East Sussex runs a free, confidential Information and Advice Service covering benefits, housing, care homes and form filling, with telephone consultations on 01273 476 704 from Monday to Friday, 10am to 3.45pm. East Sussex County Council’s dementia support page explains memory assessments and the East Sussex Dementia Support Service.
A funding application can run alongside the care itself, so nobody has to wait for a letter before a carer arrives.

Four Steps to a Carer in Battle
The phone call is the hard part, and the route after it is short.
01
Make the call
There is nothing to get ready.
Dial 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or one of his team will answer.
Tell us how things have been lately, and we will talk through the options without forms or pressure.
Families call us in situations just like yours every day.
03
We listen to the story
We ask what Battle means to your relative. It might be Bonfire night with the Battel Bonfire Boyes, which claims to be the oldest of the Sussex Bonfire Societies, or lessons at Battle Abbey School, which occupies the abbey's old cloisters, or a day on the 1066 Country Walk, a 31-mile route that passes through the town. One memory can open up a whole afternoon of conversation.
We write it into the care plan, and the carer turns up already knowing which questions to ask. Ring whenever you feel ready.
We find the right person
We only put a carer forward after weighing experience, health needs and temperament, because sharing a home works best when two people get on.
After that you have two weeks, under our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, to see how it feels.
02
04
The carer arrives
Placements usually start within a couple of days of our first conversation, and faster when a hospital has named a discharge date.
If your relative is coming home from the Conquest Hospital or another ward, we make sure the carer is waiting at the door.
The same person at NeeryVille stays in touch from your first call until things feel settled.
Ring today and a carer could be settling in at home before the weekend. If a hospital has given a date, say so and we will plan around it.
The free assessment is done in person by our Registered Care Manager, who phones later to hear how the first days went. Live-in is our whole business, so nobody hands you on to another team.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Battle Families Ask About Live-In Care
How much does live-in care in Battle cost?
The rate for live-in care in Battle is £190 per day, fully inclusive, without surprise extras. Once the free assessment is done the exact amount is put in writing for you to read first.
How quickly can live-in care start in Battle?
Frequently a carer starts one or two days after the first phone call, even when the call comes from a hospital ward. Dial 0208 129 5854 to begin.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Many people with dementia cope better with one regular carer in a house they know than with a stream of different visitors. East Sussex County Council’s dementia support page explains how a GP can refer for a memory assessment, and how to ask for the Dementia Support Service.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
Only your family can answer that. Living at home means familiar sheets, a familiar street and a familiar clock, and a couple are not separated. We lay out the advantages and drawbacks honestly so the choice stays with you.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
When the usual carer is sick or taking leave, a cover carer comes in from us, so there is always someone with your relative.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes, the Care Quality Commission has NeeryVille Care Ltd on its register, as our CQC provider page shows.
Which areas of Battle do you cover?
We cover the whole of Battle, including Marley, Watch Oak, Netherfield, Telham and Whatlington, in postcode TN33.
Do you offer respite care in Battle?
Yes, respite care in Battle is part of what we do. Should caring for a parent or spouse have left you drained, a live-in carer can look after them at home for several days or weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. For a relative returning from the Conquest Hospital or another ward, the carer can be at the house first, with the heating on, food in the cupboards and a plan for that first night.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
Throughout the first 14 days you may bring the arrangement to an end at any moment, giving no notice and paying nothing.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Certain households are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for council help once East Sussex County Council has completed an assessment, and Age UK East Sussex can point out benefits that go unclaimed.
Where can a live-in carer take my father for a gentle outing in Battle?
The Almonry Gardens on the High Street have an upper garden, a lower garden and a courtyard, looked after by the volunteer group Beautiful Battle. For longer outings there is Battle Great Wood, more than 450 acres on the east side of town. The carer can choose the route to suit his legs.
Can my mother see the Battle Tapestry with her live-in carer?
The Battle Tapestry is in St Mary the Virgin church, opposite the abbey, and is 3.2 metres long and modelled on the Bayeux Tapestry. It was stitched by 741 people and completed in 2017. Her carer can ring the church ahead for visiting times and take her at a pace she finds comfortable.
How would a carer get my wife to a hospital appointment from Battle?
The Conquest Hospital is at The Ridge in St Leonards-on-Sea, and Battle station is on the Hastings Line, with Hastings about 15 minutes away by train. The A2100 and the A21 also link Battle to Hastings. Her carer can check the final stretch with the clinic and go with her.
