About L'Arche
Here at L'Arche Bognor Regis, we provide home care to people living in Bognor Regis and the surrounding areas of West Sussex. Our work focuses particularly on supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism, and we take real pride in the relationships we build with the people we care for and their families. We are part of the wider L'Arche community, an international movement rooted in the belief that people with learning disabilities have a great deal to offer the world around them. That ethos shapes everything we do. We are not simply here to deliver tasks and move on. We are here to share life with people, to listen carefully, and to support each person to live as fully and independently as they choose. Our team works with people in their own homes, which we think matters enormously. Being supported in a familiar environment, surrounded by your own things and your own routines, makes a genuine difference to how people feel day to day. We work hard to understand what matters most to each individual and to build support around that, rather than expecting people to fit around us. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission awarded us an overall rating of good. We see that as an honest reflection of the care and thought our team brings to their work, and we remain committed to continuing to improve. If you are thinking about care for yourself or for someone you love, we would genuinely welcome the chance to have a conversation. There is no pressure and no obligation. We simply want to help you understand what support might look like and whether we could be the right fit. Please do get in touch with us here in Bognor Regis.
