Reassuring care at home for families navigating change, worry, and everyday needs.
Live-In Care in Lancing
Steady, compassionate support for life at home
For families in Lancing exploring live-in care, the search often begins at a moment of change: a fall, a health scare, or the gradual realisation that a loved one needs more consistent support.
At Cheriton Homecare, we are here for exactly those moments. Our founder Richard Barnett created this service after 12 years of caring personally for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s. That experience shaped a way of working that puts relationships, dignity, and genuine continuity at the centre of everything.
As a CQC-regulated provider rated Outstanding in Caring, we offer fully managed live-in care and a team that treats every family as part of our own.

Live-in care vs. 24-Hour care: Which type of support fits best?
Live-in care and 24-hour care are two names for the same arrangement. One carer lives in your loved one’s home, providing support and companionship during the day and taking a planned break overnight.
Visiting care involves scheduled visits from a team of carers and is better suited to clients who are largely independent and need support at specific times of day.
What does live-in care in Lancing cost?

The questions that come up when you're trying to get care right
How quickly can a live-in care arrangement usually be put in place?
We can move at the pace your family needs. If your loved one requires support urgently, we will do everything we can to arrange care quickly.
Can live-in care work for someone living with memory loss or confusion?
Yes. We have deep experience supporting people living with dementia and memory loss, and we take particular care when matching carers to make sure the relationship is calm, reassuring, and built on trust.
What is the difference between a live-in carer and a visiting carer day to day?
A live-in carer is present throughout the day and stays in the home, so support is always on hand. A visiting carer arrives at agreed times and leaves afterwards. For people who need consistent reassurance or more complex support, live-in care is usually the better fit.
How do you make sure care feels consistent and familiar?
We assign one dedicated carer to your loved one so they are not faced with a different face every day. Our team also stays closely involved so that care remains personal and well coordinated over time.
Can live-in care reduce the need to move into residential care?
In many cases, yes. With the right live-in support, people can stay safely in the home they know and continue living on their own terms for much longer.

Cheriton Homecare give me peace of mind and I know my mum’s needs are met completely. My mum has developed a real connection and even love of her main carer who she has come to trust and rely upon. They bring a security to my mum and become not just carers but also a social network.
Shirley S (Daughter of Client)
Cheriton Homecare helped Mother stay in her own home and keep her independence. She could be difficult as her dementia progressed but nothing was too much trouble for Cheriton, her carers were kind and compassionate. She loved seeing the manager and another member of staff who always made a great fuss of her.
Lynda S (Daughter of Client)
Everyone at Cheriton Homecare exudes calm, confident professionalism with compassion and patience. I am so grateful for their support in providing care for my mother-in-law and being able to respond to a desperate situation so quickly.
H R (Daughter-in-law of Client)
Cheriton Homecare are very, very good. They are absolutely wonderful.
A C (Client)
The two carers (a main one and a holiday relief carer) have fitted in well, seen what needs to be done and quietly got on with it in a cheerful and calm manner. They are looking after both my parents. Having the Cheriton carers there gives the family peace of mind knowing Mum and Dad are being looked after well while allowing them to stay in their own home.
