Fulfilling lives, fulfilling Careers

As soon as you set eyes on Bowes House you know this is a care home with a difference.

Bowes House care home in Hailsham blends old and new – it incorporates part of the old Lynn brewery buildings, dating from 1887 – but step inside and you’ll discover how this beautiful, purpose-built care home embodies the very latest and best in care for older people.

We provide a wide range of services to cater for different needs, from short respite stays, through to full time nursing and residential care.

We are also highly experienced in delivering care for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Our carers undertake special experiential dementia training, developed by our own in-house experts, and this gives us real insight into what life is like for people living with this condition.
