Care that feels like family. Support that honours your life.
Home Care in Brighton & Hove
Home care that feels personal – not clinical
Families searching for home care in Brighton & Hove are often trying to answer a difficult question: how to keep someone safe and comfortable without taking them away from the home they know. Good care should feel personal while still being well organised and dependable.
At Cheriton Homecare, our approach grew from real family experience, including more than a decade spent caring for a relative at home. That perspective still shapes how we deliver home care across Brighton & Hove today, with a focus on dignity, consistency, and treating each person as an individual.
As a CQC-regulated provider, we combine warmth with clear oversight. Thoughtful care planning, carefully matched carers, and consistent support help people remain safe and independent in familiar surroundings.

Choosing the right level of home care
The right support depends on your loved one’s routine, health needs, and how much help would make daily life feel safer and more manageable. Some people need help with a few key parts of the day, while others benefit from more ongoing support at home.
When we speak with families, we take time to understand what is happening now, where the pressure points are, and what kind of care would genuinely help. That allows us to recommend a plan that feels practical, personal, and sustainable.

Supporting families across Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove have distinct neighbourhoods and daily rhythms, so care needs to fit naturally into life here. Families often arrange support after a hospital stay at the Royal Sussex County Hospital or when everyday routines start becoming difficult.
We also support families throughout nearby towns and coastal communities across Sussex, including:
What families often want to know before arranging care
What type of support can be included in home care?
Home care can include a wide range of practical and personal support depending on what your loved one needs. This may include help with personal care, meal preparation, mobility assistance, companionship, and medication reminders. The goal is to make everyday life easier while allowing someone to remain safely at home.
How many hours of home care can someone receive?
Home care can be arranged for just a few hours a week or for several visits each day. Some families begin with short visits for help with meals or personal care, while others choose full‑time live‑in support when more consistent assistance is needed.
Can home care start after a hospital stay?
Yes. Many families arrange support when a loved one is returning home from the hospital and needs help regaining confidence with daily routines. Care can often begin quickly once needs have been discussed and a care plan has been prepared.
How do I know what kind of home care is right?
The right type of home care depends on how much support your loved one needs, when they need it, and what will help them feel safe and comfortable at home. We can talk you through the options and help you decide on the level of support that makes the most sense.
When caring for someone becomes too much to manage alone
When everyday routines start to feel overwhelming, the right support can make a meaningful difference. A short conversation can help you understand the options and decide what would help your loved one most.
