About Hurst Place
At Hurst Place, we provide home care to people living in Haywards Heath and the surrounding areas of West Sussex. We work with older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, supporting them to stay in the place they know best — their own home. We understand that inviting someone into your home to provide care is a significant decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to offer care that genuinely fits around each person's life, routines, and preferences, rather than asking people to fit around us. That means taking the time to listen properly at the start, and continuing to check in as needs change over time. Dementia care is one of our core areas of work. We know how much familiarity and consistency matter for someone living with dementia, and we try to reflect that in the way we match carers and plan support. The same applies to the younger adults we support, who often have very specific goals around independence and daily life that we work hard to respect and encourage. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistency and attentiveness we bring to our work day to day. It is not something we treat as a box ticked — it is a prompt to keep looking at how we can do things better. If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone you love, we are always happy to have an honest conversation about what might be possible. There is no pressure and no jargon. We are based here in Haywards Heath, and being part of this community matters to us. We would be glad to hear from you.
