About London Care (Lapwing Court)
Lapwing Court, part of London Care, provides care and support to people in their own homes in Chichester and the surrounding parts of West Sussex. Our work is arranged around the life somebody already leads, and the aim is to make staying at home a realistic option. The people we support are varied. Older adults who need help with personal care, medication, meals or getting safely about the house. People living with dementia, where familiarity and patience are worth more than anything else. Adults with a learning disability or autism, where the aim is to build confidence rather than to do things for people. People living with mental health conditions, where a steady relationship and early attention to changes count for most. People with physical disabilities, and people with a visual or hearing impairment, where we adapt how we assist and how we communicate. We also support people affected by alcohol or drug misuse, without judgement and at the pace they set, along with younger adults whose weeks revolve around work, study and family. We keep the group of workers visiting each person as small as we can, because relationships do the real work here. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch and ask us anything you need to know.
