West Sussex County Council: Home care

Links to Sections

Most people value their independence. Some of us need help to achieve it. That's where home care - also known as domiciliary care - comes in.

In West Sussex, we work in partnership with people who use our services, with carers, and with statutory and non-statutory agencies to plan and deliver home care services.

At every step of the way, we encourage independence and enable people with a variety of needs to live at home with the best possible quality of life.

In West Sussex, most of home care is delivered by the independent sector and only a small part is provided by the county council's 'in-house' service.

The reason for this is that the in-house home care service has evolved into the 'regaining independence support service'.
