Live-In Care in Peacehaven

Need to arrange live-in care for your family member?

Home care that brings stability, comfort, and peace of mind

When families in Peacehaven begin looking into live-in care, they are usually looking for more than practical help. They want to know their loved one feels safe, known, and genuinely cared for in the home they love.

That is the kind of care Cheriton Homecare was built to provide. Our founder Richard Barnett spent 12 years caring personally for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s. That experience is woven into everything we do: the way we match carers, the way we stay involved, and the way we treat every person we support as an individual.

As a CQC-regulated provider rated Outstanding in Caring, we offer fully managed live-in care with the oversight and consistency that families rely on.

"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 the difference

Live-in care and 24-hour care describe the same kind of arrangement. One carer lives in your loved one’s home, providing support throughout the day and taking a planned break to sleep at night.

Visiting care involves multiple carers calling at set times. This suits clients who are fairly independent and need occasional help rather than someone consistently present.

How much should you expect live-in care to cost?

The cost depends on how much support your loved one needs each day and whether care is for one person or a couple. We are transparent about pricing from the outset.

  • 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 often want to know before making a decision

Yes. Our carers support people in the way they choose to live, stepping in when help is needed and stepping back when it is not. Independence and dignity sit at the heart of how we work.

Absolutely. We provide live-in care for couples, with support shaped around both people and how they live together at home.

We take time to get to know your loved one before care begins: their daily rhythms, their preferences, and what matters most to them. Everything is built around their life.

Live-in care works in most home settings. The main practical need is a comfortable private space for the carer. We are happy to talk through any questions about your loved one’s home when we speak.

Yes. We adjust the level of support as your loved one’s needs change, so there is no need to find a new provider or start again as circumstances evolve.
