Who we are
A live-in care agency that actually cares
We are a well-established, specialised live-in care agency, offering outstanding homecare – the kind we would want our own family members to receive.
Our Founder, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring at home for an elderly gentleman with advanced dementia named Billy, at his home, Cheriton House, after finding a residential care home unsuitable. The experience inspired Richard to found Cheriton Homecare, a live-in care agency dedicated to providing high-quality, personal care, with the needs of the individual and the family at the centre.


The basics
What is live-in care?
Live-in care is when a single care assistant lives with you in your home, providing round-the-clock support.
Live-in care is one of the best alternatives to a more expensive residential care home, as it enables people to remain living in the comfort of their own home, and maintain an independent and active life. Live-in care differs from domiciliary care, which is where carers visit your home during the day, but do not live with you.
Your relative may only need a small amount of support for a short time, or need more support on an ongoing basis. Every individual is different, with unique requirements. So a tailored approach is always needed, with the individual person and their needs at the centre.
Who are we?
What motivates the Cheriton family?
At Cheriton Homecare we are driven by a mission to support people with the high-quality care they deserve in later life, empowering them to live independently and safely in their own home.
“Caring for someone is not about just providing food, medication or security, it’s about enabling people to make choices about how they choose to live their lives and supporting them to do so.”
– Richard Barnett, Founder

How much does live-in care cost?
The cost of care varies based on individual needs. While our pricing guide outlines the financial aspects, it’s essential to recognise that the real value of home care is found in the personalised support and improved quality of life it offers.

Cheriton Homecare give me peace of mind and I know my mum’s needs are met completely. My mum has developed a real connection and even love of her main carer who she has come to trust and rely upon. They bring a security to my mum and become not just carers but also a social network.
Shirley S (Daughter of Client)
Cheriton Homecare helped Mother stay in her own home and keep her independence. She could be difficult as her dementia progressed but nothing was too much trouble for Cheriton, her carers were kind and compassionate. She loved seeing the manager and another member of staff who always made a great fuss of her.
Lynda S (Daughter of Client)
Everyone at Cheriton Homecare exudes calm, confident professionalism with compassion and patience. I am so grateful for their support in providing care for my mother-in-law and being able to respond to a desperate situation so quickly.
H R (Daughter-in-law of Client)
Cheriton Homecare are very, very good. They are absolutely wonderful.
A C (Client)
The two carers (a main one and a holiday relief carer) have fitted in well, seen what needs to be done and quietly got on with it in a cheerful and calm manner. They are looking after both my parents. Having the Cheriton carers there gives the family peace of mind knowing Mum and Dad are being looked after well while allowing them to stay in their own home.
