Support that feels like family. Carers you can count on.
Live-In Care in Worthing
Care rooted in relationships, not rigid schedules
When your loved one needs live-in care in Worthing, you need someone who actually cares for them, not just checks boxes on a task list. At Cheriton Homecare, our care is rooted in relationships, making each day at home easier, brighter, and more joyful.
Unlike many other agencies, our caring experience began at home, not in an office: Richard Barnett founded Cheriton after caring for his own grandfather for 12 years. This lived experience shapes everything we do, caring for your family with the respect and dignity we’d want for our own.
As a small, CQC-regulated team specialising in live-in and 24-hour care, we stay closely involved, match carers thoughtfully, and help your loved one age in place while honouring their independence.

Live-in care vs. visiting care: A simple breakdown
The right type of home care depends on how independent your loved one is and the level of support they need each day. During your consultation, we’ll discuss their needs and help you choose between live-in and visiting care.
- Live-in care / 24-hour care: One dedicated carer lives in your loved one’s home for companionship and support throughout the day and night, with set rest periods built into the routine. This is best for people who need continuous support and feel safest knowing the same trusted carer is there every day.
- Visiting care: Carers support your loved one in scheduled visits, helping with tasks like washing, meals, or bedtime routines and then leaving until the next visit. This arrangement is best for people who are fairly independent and only need help at certain times of the day.
Not sure which arrangement is right for your family? Let’s talk about your needs.

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)

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.
