Consistent care from someone who truly gets to know you.
Live-In Care in Brighton
Thoughtful live-in support in the comfort of home
Live-in care in Brighton should be personal, not rushed or transactional. At Cheriton Homecare, our support is rooted in family values, caring for your loved one like we would our own.
Richard Barnett, our founder and Registered Manager, spent 12 years caring for his grandfather, Bill, as he struggled with Alzheimer’s disease. This lived experience shaped our care philosophy: support should feel unhurried, familiar, and honour your loved one’s life.
With live-in care, the same carer supports your loved one every day, building trust for a genuine connection. As a CQC-regulated provider, we combine friendly support with the highest standards of safety, offering the care your loved one needs and the peace of mind your whole family deserves.
“The live-in carers look after my mother very well. They are part of the family!”
– Elaine W
Live-in care services tailored to daily life
By pairing your loved one with one familiar caregiver, we make each day easier, safer, and more joyful. Here’s how we provide the support they need while helping them stay independent:
Live-in care vs. 24-hour care vs. visiting care: Key differences
Live-in care and 24-hour care are two different terms for the same type of care. With this arrangement, a single, familiar carer lives in the home and provides support throughout the day, taking planned breaks so care fits naturally into your loved one’s routines.
In contrast, visiting care involves scheduled visits at specific times of day rather than having a carer stay in the home. This arrangement works well when your loved one can manage on their own and only needs occasional support.
How much does live-in care cost?
The cost of live-in care depends on the level of support your loved one needs and whether care is for one person or a couple. We’re always open and clear about pricing, and we’ll help you make the best decision for your loved one.
- Live-in care is charged weekly
- Prices start from £1,190 per week for one person
- From £1,476 per week for couples
- Costs reflect full-time support from a familiar carer who lives in the home and provides one-on-one care
