The Chaseley Trust - Eastbourne
Chaseley offers long-term care for adults with neuro-disabilities as well as outpatient services for those in the Eastbourne area. Chaseley has a long history with the Armed Forces. When we opened in 1946, and we cared for servicemen returning from the war with spinal injuries. That connection still means a great deal to us, and we are keen to support veterans again whenever we can.
Today we provide long-term nursing care for adults aged 18 and over with neurological conditions. Many people come to us after life-changing accidents or strokes, while others are living with progressive conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis or Motor Neurone Disease. Our focus is on providing stable, specialist nursing care for people who need ongoing support.
Alongside residential care we also run an outpatient neuro-physiotherapy service and a rehabilitation gym that is fully wheelchair accessible. The gym is open to disabled members of the community, and we offer discounted memberships for veterans.
We would also be very pleased to welcome any local veterans who might like to volunteer. A small group of local veterans already visit every week. They he
Although we now have only a couple of veterans living at Chaseley, we would very much like to reconnect with those roots and support more Armed Forces personnel and veterans who may need our services.
This is our mascot Bella and we are situated right on the Eastbourne seafront, and it really is a special place and all armed forces veterans are welcome.
