Warm, dependable support at home for the life your loved one knows.
Live-In Care in Shoreham-by-Sea
Support at home that brings comfort, continuity, and peace of mind
When families in Shoreham-by-Sea start looking into live-in care, it is often because the choices feel overwhelming and the stakes feel very high. You want to know your loved one is safe, comfortable, and cared for by someone who genuinely knows them.
At Cheriton Homecare, this is exactly what we provide.
Our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s. This shaped a live-in care service built on relationships, not rotas, and on treating every person as an individual, not a task.
As a CQC-regulated provider rated Outstanding in Caring, we offer fully managed live-in care with close, ongoing oversight and a team that stays involved from the very first conversation.

Live-in care vs. 24-hour care: What families should know
Live-in care and 24-hour care describe the same type of support. One dedicated carer lives in your loved one’s home, providing companionship and practical help throughout the day while taking a planned break to sleep at night.
Visiting care works differently. Several carers visit the home at scheduled times rather than staying full time. This option suits clients who are largely independent but need some regular help with personal care, medication, meals, or household tasks.
What does live-in care cost?
The cost of live-in care depends on how much support your loved one needs each day and whether care is being arranged for one person or for a couple living together. We are open about our pricing from the start, so your family can make decisions with confidence.
- Live-in care is charged weekly
- Prices start from £1,190 per week for one person
- Prices start from £1,476 per week for couples
- Fees cover full-time, one-to-one support from a live-in carer who stays in the home
- Care is shaped around your loved one’s routines, preferences, and individual needs

The questions families ask when care starts becoming urgent
How do you match a live-in carer to someone's personality and routine?
Before we introduce a carer, we take the time to understand your loved one: how they like to spend their day, what matters to them, and the kind of company they enjoy. We look for a carer whose personality and approach feels like a natural fit, and our team stays closely involved after care begins to make sure the relationship develops well.
Can live-in care begin after a hospital stay or sudden change in health?
Yes. We understand that things can change quickly, and we are able to arrange care at short notice so your loved one is never left without the support they need.
What happens if the regular live-in carer is away or unavailable?
We manage every aspect of live-in care, including cover arrangements when your regular carer is on leave or unavailable. We work hard to keep changes to a minimum and will always keep your family informed so there are no surprises.
Can support be adjusted if my loved one's needs change over time?
Absolutely. We provide fully managed live-in care, which means we stay closely involved and adapt the support we provide as your loved one’s needs, health, or preferences evolve.
How involved can family members be in shaping the care plan?
Very involved. We see families as partners in care, and we value your knowledge of the person we are supporting. From the initial conversation through to day-to-day decisions, we keep communication open and welcome your input at every stage.
