About Catchers Care
At Catchers Care, we provide home care support to people living in Littlehampton and the surrounding areas of West Sussex. We work with older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Our aim is straightforward: to help people live as comfortably and independently as possible in their own homes. We understand that inviting someone into your home is a significant decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. We take time to get to know each person we support, their routines, their preferences, and what matters most to them day to day. Good home care is not one size fits all, and we work closely with individuals and their families to make sure the support we provide genuinely fits around their lives. We are open about the fact that our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating. We want to be honest about that rather than gloss over it. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making real changes to how we operate. We believe transparency matters, and families deserve to know that we are actively working to improve rather than simply saying the right things. For anyone living with dementia or a long term condition, consistency and familiarity are especially important. We work hard to ensure people see familiar faces and feel genuinely comfortable with the people who support them. If you are considering home care for yourself or a loved one in the Littlehampton area, we would welcome the chance to have an honest conversation about what we offer and whether we might be the right fit. Please do get in touch and we will do our best to help.
