About Third Hand Care
Third Hand Care in West Sussex provides care and support to people in their own homes in Chichester and the surrounding area. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. We begin with a visit at home and a straightforward conversation about what would actually help, and about what somebody intends to carry on doing for themselves, because support that takes over more than it needs to does more harm than good. The plan is agreed together and changes as life changes. Support may be a single short call each day, several visits for personal care, medication, meals, housework and company, or longer stretches for somebody who should not be alone. Across the range of needs we meet, training is practical rather than a formality, and our carers have the knowledge for the people they visit before they go out. Continuity is what families notice most, so we keep rounds tight and local, send the same carers wherever we can, and say in advance when a new face is coming. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
