About AcreCare
We at AcreCare are proud to provide compassionate home care across Worthing and the surrounding West Sussex communities, supporting people to live well and safely in the place they know best: their own home. As a dedicated home care agency, our focus is on bringing personalised support directly to your doorstep. Operating throughout the BN postcode area, our team travels across Worthing and nearby villages to deliver care where it matters most. By coming to you, we help preserve the comfort of familiar surroundings, treasured belongings, and the daily routines that make a house feel like home. Whether you live in a town centre flat, a quiet suburban street, or a rural corner of West Sussex, we shape our visits around the rhythm of your day. Our care provision is broad and thoughtfully tailored. We support older people who wish to maintain their independence, offering everything from companionship and help with daily tasks to more involved personal care. Our dementia care is delivered with patience and understanding, giving families peace of mind that their loved one is being supported by people who recognise the importance of consistency, gentle communication, and dignity at every visit. For adults living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on enabling choice, building confidence, and supporting goals that matter to the individual. We also work alongside people experiencing mental health challenges, those with physical disabilities, and individuals living with visual or hearing impairment, adapting our approach so that communication and support feel natural and respectful. Younger adults receive care that recognises their stage of life, whilst those navigating alcohol or drug related recovery are met with a non judgemental, encouraging presence. In practice, this means families can trust that their relative is being supported by a team experienced in meeting complex and varied needs. It means a son or daughter living further afield can feel reassured that someone reliable is visiting; it means a spouse who has been the main carer can take a much needed breath; and it means the person receiving care remains at the heart of every decision. We are pleased to share that the Care Quality Commission rated AcreCare as Good overall following our most recent inspection on 14 October 2025. We achieved a Good rating across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. For families, this independent assessment offers genuine reassurance that the care we deliver is safe, that our practices are effective, that our team is kind, that we respond to changing needs, and that the organisation is managed thoughtfully and transparently. Choosing home care is a deeply personal decision, and we understand the weight it carries. If you are exploring support for yourself or someone you love in Worthing or the wider West Sussex area, we would be delighted to hear from you, answer your questions, and help you take the next step with confidence.
