Christmas can be a lonely time for people living and caring for loved ones with dementia.

Contact the House and speak to Emma to get booked in.  Limited availability.  

Ivy House hosted an information stand at The Good Life Show, put on by the Eastbourne Seniors Forum. The event was well attended by the general public despite the rain and the Ivy team were able to share with visitors to the stand how Ivy House can support families who are living with dementia through the free activities or attending the day centre. 

Thank you to all who we met - we thoroughly enjoyed meeting you.  

To mark the end of the summer we hosted a little party for our clients. It's important to mix things up and everyone had a great time!  Our clients enjoyed a buffet lunch and entertainment by the brilliant Jim Pyle from Full Beam Productions.

Enjoy looking at the photographs on our Facebook page.

Having learnt in May that Ivy House had been nominated for two categories

• Business Woman of the Year

was excitement enough but then, finalists felt beyond our wildest dreams and then we won!  Ivy House received the award for Contribution to the Community 2018! 

Jane Lowe, Founder, Director of Care and Dementia Consultant spoke on behalf of Ivy House and said: ‘This award means a huge amount to the team at Ivy House.  What is more exhilarating is that this award puts dementia on the map.  An award of this kind, for a business of this kind, has not been given before at the Women in Business Awards East Sussex and is a real accolade to the work of the team and our community reach. Dementia is not something that is going away and to share knowledge and educate our community that you can live well with dementia is something that Ivy House is passionate about.  Thank you so much!’

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Ivy House submission and for people who too, want to make a change to our community and those who live with dementia.  If you would like to find out more about the work that Ivy House does please do get in touch.
