About Molly Care
Molly Care provides care and support in people's own homes in Littlehampton and the surrounding parts of West Sussex. Our work is about making home a place where somebody can be properly supported, so that staying put remains a real choice. We support older adults with the things that have become harder over time: personal care, medication, meals, keeping on top of the house and getting out when they want to. We support people living with dementia, where a familiar face arriving at an expected time does more good than any amount of organised activity. We work with people living with mental health conditions, where consistency and a relationship built steadily over time count for a great deal, and with people who have physical disabilities, helping with washing, dressing and mobility in a way that leaves the person directing how it is done. We support younger adults too, whose support is planned around work, study, family and independence rather than a standard pattern. Wherever the rota allows, the same small group of workers visits each person, because familiar staff notice small changes and because nobody wants to explain themselves afresh each week. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us and ask whatever you need to before deciding anything.
