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.
