Navigator service

About the service

The Navigator service is a free service aimed at helping people aged 60 and over to live independently at home for as long as they choose.

You must live in East Sussex and can either be referred by a health professional, such as a district nurse, GP or social worker, or you can refer yourself.

After we have received your referral, we will contact you by telephone or letter. We will never turn up at your home without booking an appointment with you.

How can we help you?

Our staff will visit you in your home to look at the support you may need. This might include:

• getting small jobs done around the home
• smoke detector fitting
• security advice
• aids to help you move around your home
• home safety checks
• community alarms (lifeline)
• community transport and carer services
• finding you a local exercise group or Internet club.
