Compassionate support at home for families facing difficult decisions and changing care needs.
Live-In Care in Crawley
Reassuring care at home when daily life starts to feel harder
When families in Crawley begin exploring live-in care, they are often at a point where worry has become a constant. Something has shifted, and they need to know their loved one has dependable, caring support in place.
At Cheriton Homecare, our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, built this service on the values he lived by during 12 years of caring for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s: dignity, kindness, and care that feels like it comes from family.
We are a CQC-regulated provider rated Outstanding in Caring, offering fully managed live-in care with the kind of close, personal involvement that makes a real difference to families.

Live-in care vs. 24-hour care: What's the right fit for your situation?
Live-in care and 24-hour care mean the same thing. One carer lives in your loved one’s home, providing consistent support and companionship during the day while taking a planned break overnight.
Visiting care means several carers come and go at set times throughout the day. This works best for clients who are largely independent and only need support at particular points in the day.
What should families expect to pay for live-in care?
The cost reflects the level of support your loved one needs and whether care is for one person or a couple. We are open about pricing from the start so there are no surprises.
- 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 Crawley often ask when looking for the right kind of help
Can live-in care help someone stay at home instead of moving into residential care?
For many families, yes. Consistent live-in support allows people to remain safely in familiar surroundings for much longer, with the reassurance that help is always close at hand.
How do you make sure support feels respectful and not intrusive?
We take time to understand how your loved one likes to live before care begins. Our carers work around their preferences and rhythm, offering help when it is welcome and space when it is needed.
Can live-in care work for someone with both practical and emotional support needs?
Absolutely. Our carers provide both hands-on help with daily tasks and genuine companionship. The relationship that develops between a carer and the person they support is often one of the most valued parts of the arrangement.
What if we are not sure how much support our loved one needs yet?
That is a very common position to be in. We will talk through what is happening at home, help you think through the options, and make sure any care plan reflects what your loved one needs now, with room to adjust as things change.
How soon can families speak to someone about arranging care at home?
Right away. Get in touch and we will make time to speak with you, answer your questions, and start understanding what the right support might look like for your family.
