About The Sussex Village Homecare Service
We provide care at home in Billingshurst and the villages around this part of West Sussex. We support older adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Being a village based team is genuinely useful. We know the lanes, we know how long the journey actually takes, and we can be where we said we would be, which is the thing families judge us on above everything else. Arriving when promised is not a small courtesy when somebody is waiting to be helped out of bed. Continuity is what we protect hardest. A familiar carer who has read the notes and remembers last week's conversation achieves more in half an hour than a stranger does in an hour, and in a rural area where our visit may be the only one of the day that matters more rather than less. So we send the same small team to the same households wherever the rota allows. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would rather treat that as a baseline than quote it as a credential, and we would much rather a family rang us about something small in the week it happened than saved it up.
