West Sussex Live in Care

Exceptional live-in care since 1962

Live-in care is care provided by highly trained live-in carers who stay with the person receiving care in their own home, remaining on-hand to provide professional, bespoke care around-the-clock. This type of care is ideal for people who need support with the activities and tasks of daily life, care with health or complex conditions that impact their ability to live independently, or simply for someone who needs companionship and social support.

Because live-in care and nursing fit around your life, you can stay connected with what’s important to you, whether that’s your family, friends and community, pets, or the activities you enjoy.

Our live-in care services in West Sussex

Introductory live-in care

With our introductory live-in care service, we recruit a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of us.  In contrast to our managed live-in care service, with introductory care, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce to you, and the carers are paid directly by you.

Managed live-in care

Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard.  We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.

Why choose live-in care in West Sussex?

Moving into a care home can feel like a major disruption, but live-in care in West Sussex means your daily life can remain as it is. With a committed live-in carer offering personalised, one-to-one assistance in your own home, you can continue living in the surroundings you know and love.

This approach to care helps you or your loved one preserve the connections that mean the most - your partner, relatives, beloved pets, or local friendships. You won't encounter rigid visiting schedules, predetermined meals, or restrictions on how you spend your time. Instead, you'll retain the independence to follow your own rhythm and preferences, all while enjoying the companionship and customized care of a live-in carer who's been thoughtfully selected to suit your individual requirements.

Benefits of live-in care in West Sussex

Live-in care delivers a tailored solution to meet your specific care requirements, enabling you or your loved one to stay at home rather than moving into residential care.

For partners, live-in care presents an economical option compared to care homes, giving you the opportunity to remain together while both receiving individualised support from a single carer. As your care needs evolve, live-in care also offers adaptability and consistency, guaranteeing you'll always receive the appropriate level of assistance.

Who can benefit from live-in care in West Sussex?

There are many reasons why people choose live-in care for themselves or their loved ones. Some of the reasons for choosing live-in care include:

Frailty

As we age, frailty can increase fall risks and make daily tasks challenging. A live-in carer can assist with mobility, meal preparation, and housework.

Specialist condition care

If your loved one is living with a specialist condition, like dementia or Parkinson's a compassionate live-in carer can provide the necessary support and ensure their safety at all times. They can help manage daily routines and offer emotional companionship. Live-in care is particularly beneficial for those living with dementia, as it allows them to remain in a familiar environment. 

Physical disability

A live-in carer can provide dedicated support, assisting with mobility, personal needs, and household tasks. 

Isolation

If you or a loved one in West Sussex lives alone without family support, a live-in carer can offer essential companionship and assistance instead.

Palliative / end-of-life care

After a terminal illness or progressive disease diagnosis, our West Sussex live-in carers offer respectful, round-the-clock support to manage symptoms and prioritise comfort.
