Care based on relationships, not rigid schedules.
Home Care in Hove
Carers that get to know your family, not just fill a schedule
Quality home care in Hove begins with relationships, not rushed, impersonal visits. That’s why families like yours rely on Cheriton Homecare for care that feels like family.
Our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring for his own grandfather, and this lived experience shapes everything we do. We understand what your family is going through, and we treat your loved one as a person, not a task.
We adjust our visiting care to how your loved one actually lives, with unhurried visits and carers who take the time to build trust. As a CQC-regulated provider with a close-knit team that knows every family by name, we help older people stay at home with dignity, warmth, and reassurance.
Support that makes life at home easier & more joyful
We take time to get to know your loved one, making every day easier and more comfortable with care they can trust:
Visiting care
Live-in care
Personal care
Companionship
Medication reminders
Alzheimer's disease & dementia care
Does your loved one need live-in care or visiting care?
The choice between visiting care and live-in care depends on the level of support your loved one needs to feel safe, settled, and confident at home. We’ll discuss their daily routines and needs to help you make the right decision.
Visiting care may be right for your loved one if…
- They live independently but need help at specific times during the day
- They struggle with daily tasks like washing, dressing, preparing meals, or medication reminders
- Companionship from familiar faces would make life at home feel easier
- You want dependable care without full-time support
Live-in care may be right for your loved one if…
- They need reassurance and assistance throughout the day and evening
- Being alone for long periods no longer feels safe or comfortable
- They struggle with memory loss, frailty, or health challenges
- Your family would feel more at ease knowing someone is always there

Questions about home care? Start here
What makes home care better than a care home for my loved one?
Home care helps your loved one stay in familiar surroundings, surrounded by their own routines, memories, and comforts. Many families find that this supports independence and emotional well-being in ways that residential care facilities cannot.
Is home care regulated in the UK?
Yes, Cheriton Homecare is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), upholding the highest standards of safety, consistency, and quality of care.
How quickly can I arrange home care?
We’re often able to arrange care quickly depending on your loved one’s needs. Once you contact us, we’ll talk through your needs and match them with a carer as quickly as possible.
Will my loved one have the same carer for every visit?
Yes, we aim to keep your loved one with the same carers wherever possible. Familiar faces build trust and make each visit more comfortable.

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.
