Care that feels like family. Support that honours your life.
Home Care in Brighton
Home care that feels personal – not clinical.
When your loved one needs home care in Brighton, you want them to be truly cared for, not just “looked after.” At Cheriton Homecare, our support is personal, never clinical.
Unlike many other agencies, our care experience started at home, not in an office. Our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, created Cheriton after caring for his grandfather for 12 years. His experience drives our care philosophy, treating your loved one as an individual instead of a task on a checklist.
As a CQC-regulated provider, we care for your family with standards of safety and quality that families can rely on. With us, care feels less like a service and more like a relationship, providing the same respectful, compassionate support you’d give if you could be there yourself.
“Cheriton Homecare has helped my father maintain his independence and his wish of staying in his own home. Live-in care was very new to us but we are more than happy with how things are going and look forward to continuing.”
– Walter L

Is live-in care or visiting care right for your loved one?
The right level of support depends on your family’s needs, and we’ll help you choose the best arrangement. Our goal is to provide your loved one with the right care at the right time without taking away the independence they value.
Live-in care may be right for your loved one if:
- They need support or reassurance throughout the day, but generally sleep through the night
- They cannot be left alone for long periods
- Dementia, frailty, or illness makes routines harder to manage
- You want consistent, round-the-clock support for your peace of mind
Visiting care may be right for your loved one if:
- They manage well on their own, but need help at certain times of day
- They need support with personal care, meals, or medication reminders
- You want regular check-ins without full-time care

Questions our families ask most frequently
Is home care better for your loved one compared to a care home?
For many older people, staying at home brings comfort and familiarity rather than relocating to a care home. Home care allows your loved one to keep their routines, surroundings, and independence while getting the support they need.
Is home care regulated in the UK?
Yes. Cheriton Homecare is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), so we care for your loved one with the highest standards of safety, quality, and ongoing oversight.
How quickly can home care be arranged?
We can arrange care quickly based on your loved one’s needs. Once you get in touch, we’ll talk through your situation and move at a pace that feels right for you.
Will we have the same carer each time?
Wherever possible, yes. We focus on consistency, so your loved one sees familiar, trusted faces and has time to build a real relationship with their carer.

Peace of mind starts with a consultation. Let’s talk about what we can do for your family.
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.
