Home isn’t just where we live; it’s full of familiar routines and small comforts that make each day feel right. Our Live-In Care Services help you maintain all those things with professional support tailored to you. Whether you live in Chichester, Selsey, Midhurst, Petworth, West Chiltington, or elsewhere across West Sussex, our Care Professionals can help you or your loved one remain independent, secure, and connected to the community you know and love.
Live-in care means having a dedicated Care Professional living in your home to offer round-the-clock support and companionship. It’s an alternative to residential care that lets you stay where you’re happiest, surrounded by your own comforts and routines.
We build every live-in care plan around you. From when you prefer to wake up and how you take your tea, to your daily medication schedule or mealtime routine, your Care Professional is there to make life easier and more enjoyable.
Your Care Professional will have their own bedroom in your home. A day of care is ten hours. Your Care Professional works 12-hour shifts, with 2 hours off during each shift. For those living alone or in more rural areas (like some of the villages around Petworth, Midhurst and West Chiltington), this constant presence can bring enormous peace of mind, both for the individual and their family.
Live-in care can be particularly reassuring during the winter months, when shorter daylight hours, icy paths, and cold weather make getting out and about more difficult. Having someone there for warmth, company, and help around the home can make the season feel safer and more comfortable. Remember, live-in care doesn’t need to be permanent. If, come springtime, you feel happy to switch back to daytime hourly care visits, we’ll tailor your care plan accordingly.
Live-in care covers every aspect of daily living, from practical help to genuine companionship.
Personal care includes help with washing, dressing, and mobility.
Home support can range from tidying and laundry to cooking wholesome meals, helping you stay well-nourished and comfortable in a clean, welcoming environment.
Companionship and connection are at the heart of live-in care. Whether sharing a chat over coffee at Midhurst’s Cowdray Farm Shop, a visit to the lovely bookshop in Petworth, or a stroll around West Chiltington’s Old Barn Garden Centre, our Care Professionals help clients stay socially connected and engaged in the life they love.
Health and well-being are also key. Care Professionals keep an eye on daily routines, notice any changes, and communicate with families or health professionals as needed. This continuity ensures reassurance for everyone involved.
In semi-rural communities like Petworth, Midhurst, and West Chiltington, neighbours know each other and local connections matter. Live-in care allows people to remain in their homes, surrounded by pets, gardens, and familiar scenery, while still receiving the dedicated care they need.
For those living in areas with limited amenities and public transport, live-in care offers consistency and security. It means there’s always someone nearby to help, day or night.
Live-in care can transform your daily life. It’s about more than meeting practical needs; it’s about restoring confidence, comfort, and peace of mind. Whether you or a loved one simply needs companionship and help around the home, or more specialist support, we’ll work with you to create a care plan that feels right.
If you live in Chichester, Selsey, Midhurst, Petworth, West Chiltington, or anywhere across West Sussex, and would like to learn more about how live-in care could help you stay independent at home, please get in touch with us. Our team will be happy to arrange a free, no-obligation home care assessment and answer any questions you may have.
