Our live in care in Chichester puts one carer in the spare room, on hand from first thing in the morning until the small hours, so a home in PO18 or PO19 does not have to change.

Live-In Care at Home in Chichester: Priory Park, the Canal Basin and the Harbour
A fine afternoon in Chichester might begin in Priory Park, where medieval walls built on Roman foundations frame the lawns and the Guildhall stands inside the park. The carer helps your relative with coat and stick and walks beside them, with a bench never far away. On another day the destination could be the canal, which opened in 1822 and runs from Chichester to the harbour at Birdham, with trip boats run by the canal trust.
Later the conversation may turn to Fishbourne Roman Palace, which had as many as 50 mosaic floors and was found in 1960 when a trench was dug for a water main. When a day like that appeals, call us and we will arrange a free assessment.
Behind every outing lies a set of ordinary routines, and the six cards below show how a live-in carer handles each of them, from waking up to settling down.
Getting Ready Calmly
Washing, dressing and breakfast happen at the pace your relative prefers, as a live-in carer never works to a clock. In Chichester, mornings in Whyke or Fishbourne stay just as they have always been.
Companionship at Home
Conversation, hobbies, music and the daily crossword: a live-in carer fills the house with good company. In Chichester, Pallant House Gallery occupies a Queen Anne townhouse built in 1712 for a wine merchant.
Medicine Management
Your live-in carer gives each medicine on time, notes it down and goes with your relative to every appointment. In Chichester, that may include St Richard's Hospital on Spitalfield Lane in the city.
Kitchen and Shopping
A live-in carer cooks what your relative likes and looks after the weekly shop and the pharmacy run. In Chichester, that is as straightforward from Hunston or Bosham as from the city centre.
Outings in Fresh Air
Walks and outings go at your relative's pace, with the live-in carer planning the rests, the route and the nearest bench. In Chichester, the canal runs 3.8 miles from the city basin to Birdham.
Reassurance at Night
During the night a live-in carer is in the house to help if your relative wakes, becomes unsteady or falls. In Chichester, a familiar bedroom in Whyke, Fishbourne or Bosham stays theirs, night after night.

What Chichester Families Weigh Up Before Choosing NeeryVille Care
Families in Chichester usually want four answers before they choose live-in care: who will be living in the house, how soon, what if it does not work out, and who is accountable for standards. The cards below respond to each. Many started with a search for home care in Chichester and found that one carer under the roof meets the need more completely than visits at set times.
Same Carer, Every Day
Having the same person at the table each morning makes a home feel steadier. Your carer learns how your relative takes tea, which programmes they enjoy and when they begin to tire, so every Chichester day opens with someone who knows them.
Our same-carer approach is especially valuable when memory is unreliable, as it gives each day the same familiar face.
Two Weeks to Be Sure
A change of heart should never be costly. At any point in the first 14 days you can end the arrangement, immediately, without notice and without a fee.
With our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, a Chichester family can see for itself whether a live-in carer suits the household.
Staff We Employ
Our carers are NeeryVille Care employees, trained and managed by our own team rather than engaged as self-employed workers or lent by another firm. Our regulator's record is public, and our registration on the CQC website lets you check it.
Clinical Governance
Experienced clinicians stand behind every placement through our clinical governance framework, so support for dementia, Parkinson's disease or recovery after a stroke in Chichester is safe, consistent and recorded.
At Home Within Days
Leaving St Richard's Hospital does not need to mean a wait. Typically within 24 to 48 hours of our assessment a matched carer is in your relative's Chichester home, so care runs day and night from the moment they arrive. Call us early and we will plan that first evening with you.
Registered Manager Oversight
Daniel Johnson is our Registered Care Manager, with twelve years in care and specialist dementia expertise, and he supervises placements himself. When you call, you will speak to him or a member of the care team.

Live in Care Chichester: Is It Right for Your Family?
Respite care in Chichester is for the family that needs a rest; live-in care is for the one whose nights are as taxing as its days. Both keep your relative in the home they know.
Picture a widower of ninety in Fishbourne, whose daughter works abroad. A fall in the porch leads to a stay at St Richard's Hospital, and he returns home uneasy about the empty rooms. A carer who learns his kettle, his pills and the programmes he likes soothes his worries and his daughter's together. Within days he has a routine again. Please call before the next fall, not after it.
The first visit begins with his hopes for an ordinary day, and we write the plan around them.
Or you may be the one who needs to stop. Live-in respite care in Chichester offers undisturbed nights, or a week away, with a carer you have already met running the house.
Dementia Care and 24 Hour Care in Chichester
Our live-in carers in Chichester support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, from Whyke and Fishbourne to Bosham.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Live-In Care for Couples in Chichester Who Want to Stay Together
Imagine a retired couple in a bungalow near Bosham. After an operation he can barely manage the steps; she has begun to mix up the days and the tablets, and each protects the other from the truth. One live-in carer can help them both, giving him an arm and her gentle reminders, so they stay under their own roof.
A single plan covers two people with different needs, and neither has to leave. Ask us how this would work in your own household.

Why Chichester Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your mother has spent her life in Chichester, live-in care lets her keep the city she knows, from the Cross to the canal basin.
Chichester's cathedral was consecrated in 1108, the canal opened in 1822 and the Market Cross, built between about 1477 and 1503, still stands where the four main streets meet. Many families have memories of their own bound up with places like these, and staying near them matters.
Nothing has to be packed. Her own bed, her own mugs and the chair by the window stay where they are, while one carer moves in and learns her routines. If two people share the house, the same carer can look after both of them.
Coming back from hospital can be disorienting. A carer who is already in the house for the kettle, the shopping and the first slow walk helps everyone through those early days and nights.
Call 0208 129 5854 whenever you want to talk it through. Ask anything you like; there is no obligation at all.
Live-In Care in Chichester Costs £190 a Day, and We Say So Plainly
A fair price should be easy to find.
Live-in care in Chichester with NeeryVille is from £190 per day, covering the live-in package but not cover for the carer's daily break.
After the free assessment you receive an exact written quote before agreeing to anything, because it depends on your situation.
What You Pay For Each Day
A week in Chichester might take in Priory Park on Monday, the canal basin on Wednesday and a family lunch on Sunday, and the daily rate covers a live-in carer for all of it: personal care, home-cooked meals, medicines given and recorded, a steady arm and company at appointments. Break cover is extra. The carer rests for about two hours a day, which family can cover, or a visiting carer can come at £28 per hour.
For needs that go further, among them dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, we agree the price once we have met your relative.
Paying for Care at Home in Chichester
For adult social care in Chichester, West Sussex County Council carries out the financial assessment, and its page says the value of your main or only home is not counted when you receive care at home. NHS Continuing Healthcare may apply where the main need is a health one.
Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove offers information, advice and services for older people, families and carers, with activities in the Chichester area.
Whether you qualify is a personal question, so please talk to us first. We deal with this every day and will help you work out the right route, and care can often start while the paperwork is under way.

Questions Families Ask About Live-In Care in Chichester
How much does live-in care in Chichester cost?
The live-in care cost in Chichester is £190 per day, covering the live-in package but not cover for the carer's daily break. A written quote follows your free assessment.
How quickly can live-in care start in Chichester?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours of the free assessment, and faster when St Richard's Hospital has fixed a discharge date, because we plan the carer's arrival around it.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A live-in carer gives one-to-one support at home, where familiar surroundings and a consistent face can make each day calmer for someone living with dementia.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
It depends on the person. Live-in care lets your loved one stay in their own home, keep their routine and have one-to-one attention, and couples can stay together. Our care manager can talk through both options with you.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
We arrange a cover carer so your loved one is never left without support.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. You can view our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Chichester do you cover?
Yes, all of Chichester, including Whyke, Rumboldswhyke, Fishbourne, Hunston, Bosham and Birdham, as well as the harbour villages.
Do you offer respite care in Chichester?
Yes. NeeryVille also provides respite care for families who need a break from caring, so your loved one stays at home with a live-in carer they get to know.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. Discharge care at home in Chichester starts when you give us the date St Richard's Hospital has set, and we arrange the carer, check the house is warm and plan the first night.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
If the care arrangement is not right for any reason within the first 14 days, you can end it immediately with no notice period and no fees.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by bank transfer or Direct Debit only. An assessment through West Sussex County Council or NHS Continuing Healthcare might help, but please talk to us first about whether you qualify. We deal with this every day and will help you work out the right route.
Can a carer take my father to Priory Park?
Yes. Priory Park is a city-centre park bordered by medieval walls built on Roman foundations, and a carer can plan the route and the rests so your father can enjoy it at his own pace.
Can a live-in carer take my mother to Fishbourne Roman Palace?
Yes. Fishbourne Roman Palace has a museum built over the excavated remains, and a carer can plan the visit with seats and breaks so your mother can see the mosaics without tiring.
Does live-in care cover Bosham as well as Chichester city?
Yes. We place live-in carers in Bosham, Fishbourne, Hunston and Birdham as well as in the city, and the one-carer arrangement works the same way wherever the home stands.
