West Sussex’s population is ageing faster than most of its neighbours. People aged 65 and over already make up around 23 per cent of residents, a higher share than the England average, and that proportion is projected to keep climbing over the next decade. Hometouch carers cover the whole county, from the coastal towns of Worthing and Bognor Regis to Horsham, Crawley and the market towns of the Sussex Weald, matching each family with a carer who knows the area and can support them at home for conditions including dementia as they progress.

Hospital discharge and NHS support
NHS Surrey and Sussex form an integrated care board to plan health and social care across West Sussex. This board covers both counties. West Sussex County Council works with the board to support people leaving hospital to return home safely. Discharge planning is coordinated locally, covering the coast as well as the county’s north and central towns. A live-in carer can often be arranged quickly enough to support a safe discharge home, with the cost of live-in care discussed clearly from the first call.
As a CQC regulated carer provider, we can arrange full costs and available live-in carers for:
Condition-specific care
Dementia or any other condition-specific care
Reablement care
Postoperative or any other injury-related care
General care
Overnight, companionship or disability care
CQC regulation

Paying for live-in care in West Sussex
The needs and financial assessments are conducted by West Sussex County Council for anyone who may be eligible for council support with the cost of care. As with the rest of England, if a person’s capital is above £23,250, they’re likely to be assessed as a self-funder, and support may become available once assets fall below £14,250. Many families choose to arrange live-in care privately from the beginning while a needs assessment is underway, so care isn’t delayed while funding questions are resolved.
