Live-In Care in Hassocks
Care at home that brings reassurance to the whole family
When families in Hassocks start looking into live-in care, it is often because they have been carrying the worry for too long and need to know their loved one is truly supported.
At Cheriton Homecare, we understand that feeling well. Our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, spent 12 years caring for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s before creating a service built on the values that mattered most to his own family: kindness, consistency, and care that treats people as individuals.
As a CQC-regulated provider rated Outstanding in Caring, we offer fully managed live-in care with close oversight and a team that stays personally involved from day one.
"Staff are friendly and kind. Ready to go the extra mile to make sure your needs are met."

Live-in care vs. 24-Hour care: understanding what sets them apart
Live-in care and 24-hour care refer to the same type of support. One carer lives in your loved one’s home, helping throughout the day and taking a planned break overnight.
Visiting care involves several carers calling at scheduled times and suits clients who are largely independent but need some regular help with personal care, meals, or medication.
What can families expect live-in care to cost?
Costs depend on the level of support your loved one needs and whether care is for one person or a couple. We are clear about pricing from the start.
- 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

What families in Hassocks often ask when home care becomes the next step
Can live-in care be arranged for someone who is becoming more frail at home?
Yes. Live-in care is well suited to people whose needs are growing and who would benefit from having someone consistently present. We can arrange support quickly when it is needed most.
How do you make sure care feels comfortable and familiar from the start?
We take time to match your loved one with a carer who suits their personality and way of life. Our team stays closely involved in the early days to make sure the arrangement feels settled and reassuring for everyone.
Can a live-in carer provide support while helping someone stay independent?
Absolutely. Our carers help when help is needed and step back when it is not. Preserving independence and dignity is central to the way we work.
What happens as care needs become more complex over time?
With fully managed live-in care, we stay involved and adjust support as your loved one’s needs change. You will never need to start again from scratch.
Is live-in care a good option when family members cannot always be nearby?
Yes, and for many families this is exactly why they choose it. Knowing there is a trusted, familiar carer in the home brings genuine peace of mind when you cannot always be there yourself.
