Relationship-based care for a better life at home.
Home Care in Worthing
Carers who get to know you. Support that feels like family.
Quality home care should honour your loved one’s life, not force them into a rigid schedule. This is our philosophy at Cheriton Homecare, and how we’ve helped hundreds of families like yours keep their loved ones at home where they belong.
Our founder, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring for his own grandfather through Alzheimer’s. We’ve modeled our home care in Worthing from this lived experience, supporting your loved one with the same respect and compassion we’d want for our own family.
We’re small enough to know every client’s story, and experienced enough to support your family’s changing needs. As a CQC-regulated provider, we care for your loved one with the highest standards of safety and dignity, helping them thrive at home on their own terms.

Live-in care vs. visiting care: Which is best for your loved one?
Should you arrange visiting care or live-in care for your loved one? It depends on the level of support your loved one needs to live safely at home. We’ll discuss their routines and needs to help you choose the right option, but here’s a quick breakdown:
Visiting care may be right for your loved one if…
- They live independently but need help at certain times of the day
- They struggle with tasks like washing, dressing, preparing meals, or remembering to take medications
- Companionship from familiar carers would make days at home feel less lonely
- You’re looking for dependable support without someone living in the home
Live-in care may be right for your loved one if…
- They need ongoing reassurance and help throughout the day and night
- Spending long periods alone no longer feels safe or comforting
- Memory loss, frailty, or health changes make daily life harder to manage
- Your family would feel more at ease knowing someone is always there

Your most common questions about home care
Is home care better than a care home?
For many older people, remaining at home feels far more comforting than moving into a care home. Home care supports familiar routines, surroundings, and independence while bringing the right help into the place they know best.
Is home care regulated in the UK?
Yes, Cheriton Homecare is overseen by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), meaning our care meets the highest standards for safety, dignity, and quality.
How quickly can we start home care?
We can start care quickly depending on your loved one’s needs. Once you reach out, we’ll talk through your situation and arrange support that fits your needs and timeframe.
Will we have the same carer every time?
Yes, whenever possible. We prioritise continuity, so your loved one can build trust with familiar carers.

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.
