About Vitale Care Chichester
Vitale Care Chichester provides care and support to people in their own homes, working from Sidlesham and covering the surrounding part of West Sussex. Home care is what we do and the only thing we do. People come to us because they want to carry on living where they are, with their own belongings and their own way of running a day, helped just enough to make that manageable. Our job is to provide that help without taking the household over. Everything begins with a visit and an unhurried conversation. What does the day look like now, what has become difficult, and what does the person want to keep doing for themselves. From that we agree what support happens, when and who provides it, with family or an advocate involved whenever somebody wants them there. Visits can cover personal care, help with medication, meals and drinks, housework and laundry, shopping and errands, getting to appointments, and company for people whose days have become very quiet. Company is not an extra in our view and we do not treat it as one. We are stubborn about two things. Turning up when we said we would, and sending somebody who already knows the person and the household. Between them they account for almost everything that separates home care that helps from home care that is merely endured. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please give us a ring if you would like to talk things through.
