Service & Ex-Service personnel

Prioritising ex-service personnel

While Chaseley accepts people from all walks of life, since our formation in 1946 we have prioritised service and former service personnel when allocating residential, respite and day care placements. Subsidised respite care is sometimes available.

Around a third of our residents have served in the armed forces or merchant navy, as have some of our regular respite and day care guests.

We maintain links with many service organisations and will do everything we can to make our clients and their families feel welcome. We can provide a permanent home at Chaseley or at our new bungalow development. We can offer a holiday or respite care break, or short/long term help with rehabilitation and adjusting to life with a disability, before returning to independent living.

Eastbourne has many hotels and B&Bs where friends and family can stay, including an hotel adjacent to our home. We may also be able to accommodate a partner in our bungalows or main home - please enquire.
