About Inter County Care Rustington - Chichester
We provide care in people's own homes across the area between Rustington and Chichester, working from Littlehampton. Our support covers older people, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We mention it and then get on with the work, because a rating describes what a team has already done and says nothing about tomorrow morning. What the work involves is mostly unglamorous. Arriving when we said we would. Sending the same carers to the same households so that trust has a chance to form. Handing over properly so nobody has to explain themselves twice. Saying early when something has changed rather than waiting for a family to notice. Before care starts we come out and talk. We want to know how a day already runs, what somebody wants help with and what they would rather keep doing for themselves. Independence handed over unnecessarily is very hard to get back, and a good plan protects it. If you would like to talk about support at home in this part of West Sussex, please get in touch and we will arrange to visit.
