About Us
Seniors Helping Seniors Eastbourne, Hastings & Rother
Seniors Helping Seniors Eastbourne, Hastings and Rother was launched by Rena Loizou. Steve and Lynn Cowley carried on her amazing work for two years championing flexible well paid and rewarding work for people in Eastbourne, Hastings and Rother and outstanding, affordable home care choices across the region.
In May 2025 Steve and Lynn stepped down as owners to make way for a new, local, owner to take over in June 2025.
In the interim, the founders of Seniors Helping Seniors UK (Sally and Christian Wilse) will be supporting the wonderful care team and lead, Diana.
Christian says, “We are grateful to Steve and Lynn for the energy they brought to the prospect of running two offices. Their investments, and their time and dedication, is wholeheartedly appreciated. As a company we champion efficiency and best practise and we are pleased to know a sustainable decision has been reached about the best way to support a very exciting business.”
How is Seniors Helping Seniors different from the other care services in Eastbourne, Hastings & Rother
Seniors Helping Seniors prioritise differently to every other care company. The focus is on person-centred care. We offer flexibility and we very carefully match carer to client.
The client has the right carer, at the right time, to suit their needs.
The carers are supported with flexible working so that they can choose the hours they work and are paid above the Real Living Wage.
Seniors Helping Seniors won the champion award for the care sector in 2021 from the Real Living Wage Foundation because of the way carers are supported. Being accepted by the Good Business Charter as a company doing business the right way, is another key differentiator.

Our Mission
Our non-medical care focusses on keeping well. Preventing crises is very much right-place, right-time in the UK.
The cost benefits and efficiencies in our processes secure our sustainable domicilary elderly care business model.
All our services are delivered with sincere companionship because our focus is same-person care and carefully matching carer to client.

Our carers are staying active, staying social, and staying financially stable with an hourly wage which is above the Living Wage. Our franchise partners make money through doing good.

Live Longer. Live Stronger. Seniors Need Seniors.
Our Seniors Helping Seniors home care services enable seniors to maintain an independent lifestyle in their own homes for as long as possible. Not only do we provide valued assistance, our trusted caregivers are also a source of connection and companionship, helping seniors continue to enjoy a wide range of activities at home and around the community.
We change people’s lives by matching more active seniors with less active seniors. This mutually beneficial and enriching relationship provides both the caregiver and the recipient a way to give and receive. Our organisation is made up of caring and compassionate senior caregivers who are committed to bringing love into the lives of seniors with dignity and respect.
“We have been using the services of Seniors Helping Seniors for over 4 years and have been really pleased with the care and attention the team have always given to Mum. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and the team have often gone above and beyond to ensure that Mum was comfortable in her own home for as long as possible.
They often shared lots of laughs and fun times as well as caring for her emotional and physical needs and it always left us reassured that she was in the best of hands.
They are a very flexible team and always willing to help out when additional support was required putting the needs of Mum first. A special thanks to Eileen and Simone who have been on the journey with Mum and become more than a companion to her, they have become good friends. A very caring exceptional company. “

“Our Mum is suffering from severe dementia and although we take on a lot of the care ourselves, we needed some extra help in the afternoons. The care from SHS has been outstanding. All the carers have been great with Mum, taking her for a drive, a cup of tea and a piece of cake when able which is her favourite thing to do.
We have received photo’s of Mum from the carers of Mum while she is out and she always looks so happy. She can’t wait to go with them! Teresa provided Mum with a photo book at Christmas – such a lovely thing to do and Mum treasures this. Tina has been great also – always there to help co-ordinate and offer support.
We really cannot fault the care received. We know Mum is in safe hands and Dad can have a rest while she is out. Highly recommended! Joanna, Karen and Nicola.”

“My goal to remain healthy and as active as possible in my own home is more like a partnership now with Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services since I have 24/7 care. The flexibility and different personalities of my Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers creates interesting experiences day to day. I value their timely reminders as we make lists, shop, run errands, respond to emails, and fulfill appointments.”
