We aim to promote & prolong independence for as long as possible. Promoting independence is a key element of the care that we provide and it is a core focus of all training undertaken by our staff.
The wellbeing of our clients is of the upmost importance to us and we constantly strive to improve the care that we deliver.
Wellbeing of Care Workers
We encourage our care workers and build them up, value and work in unity with each other in order to make a difference to peoples’ lives.
All team members should feel accepted and supported. Valuing each member of the team equally leads to unity, and it is with unity and team work that we can achieve our goals. Unity is strength.

Services we provide
Live-in Care
Live-in Care provides flexibility to our clients in the comfort of their own home. Usually a client needs a care worker around the house at various times of day or night to assist or carry out certain tasks that they cannot necessarily do on their own. Our care workers receive the highest quality care in the West Sussex area and this enables them to live a fulfilled life with their care worker. The many benefits of choosing Live-in Care are:
- Stay living in your own home.
- Receive the care and support you require to maintain your independence and wellbeing.
- Quality companionship (available for community interactions and outings).
- Continuity of care.
- Choice of your lifestyle.
- Flexibility of meal times and menus.
- Security and safety.
With a variety of services to choose from, each client has an individual Care Plan tailored to their specific needs and a Risk Assessment carried out prior to care and support commencing. Clients (and their families or guardians, when appropriate) are encouraged to be actively involved in developing their initial Care Plan and any subsequent adjustments to be made, if client needs change.
