Kind, dependable care at home for families facing growing needs and difficult choices.
Live-In Care in Littlehampton
Home care that brings stability when life starts feeling harder to manage
Live-in care in Littlehampton should honour the life your loved one has built, not force them into a rigid routine. At Cheriton Homecare, we help older adults live on their terms in the homes they love.
Our founder and Registered Manager, Richard Barnett, created our agency after spending 12 years caring for his grandfather Bill through Alzheimer’s.
Shaped by his personal experience, we care for your loved one with the respect, dignity, and kindness you’d give them yourself.
As a fully managed live-in care provider and CQC rated Outstanding in Caring, we offer continuous oversight and heartfelt support to give your whole family peace of mind.

Live-in care vs. 24-hour care: What families need to consider
Live-in care and 24-hour care refer to the same kind of support. One carer stays in your loved one’s home to help with daily routines, offer warm companionship, and provide reassurance throughout the day while taking scheduled breaks.
Visiting care involves planned visits from several carers that do not stay in your loved one’s home. This option is best for older people who can manage much of the day on their own, but need extra help with personal care, medication reminders, meals, or household tasks.
How much does live-in care in Littlehampton usually cost?

We proudly support older adults in the following communities with live-in care that honours their life:
Common concerns families in Littlehampton want clarity on
Can live-in care help delay or avoid a move into residential care?
In many cases, yes. Live-in care gives your loved one consistent support in the home they know best, making it easier to stay safe, comfortable, and independent in familiar surroundings.
How do you make sure my loved one still feels independent at home?
We adjust our care around the way your loved one already lives, so support feels respectful, not intrusive. Our carers help when needed while preserving their routines and as much independence as possible.
Can live-in care work well for someone living alone?
Yes, live-in care works especially well for older adults living on their own. Alongside practical help, a live-in carer offers warm companionship and a comforting presence throughout the day.
What does support look like in the early days of a new care arrangement?
We spend the first few days getting to know your loved one, their routines, and how they like things done. Our team stays closely involved at the start, so the new arrangement feels comfortable and reassuring for the carer and your family.
Can care plans be adapted as routines, health, or preferences change?
Yes! We provide fully managed live-in care, always adjusting our support as your loved one’s needs, habits, or preferences change over time.
