About Assist Care Group
We at Assist Care Group West Sussex are proud to offer person centred home care across Worthing and the wider West Sussex area, bringing compassionate support directly into the places our clients know and love best: their own homes. Operating from the BN postcode area, our team is well placed to serve individuals and families throughout Worthing and the surrounding communities of the South East coast. Being a home care agency means we come to you, respecting the comfort, familiarity, and independence that your own home provides. Whether you live in a family house, a bungalow, a flat, or sheltered accommodation, our care is designed to fit seamlessly around your daily life and routines. The breadth of support we provide reflects our commitment to meeting people where they are in life. Our specialisms include older person care and dementia care, where we focus on preserving dignity, encouraging familiar routines, and offering gentle reassurance to those living with memory loss. For adults living with a learning disability or autism, we take a considered approach that respects individual communication preferences, sensory needs, and personal goals, supporting people to live the life they choose. We also support individuals experiencing mental health challenges, offering steady, non judgemental care that promotes wellbeing and stability. For those with a physical disability or with visual or hearing impairment, our team adapts its approach to ensure independence is nurtured and barriers are minimised at every opportunity. We welcome younger adults into our care, recognising that the needs of a person in their twenties, thirties, or forties are often quite different from those of older clients, and we tailor our support accordingly. Our experience also extends to sensitive and complex areas including eating disorders and support for those affected by alcohol or drug misuse. These are areas where trust, consistency, and a compassionate presence make a real difference, and our team approaches this work with the seriousness and warmth it deserves. In practice, what all of this means for you and your family is choice. Choice about who visits, choice about how care is delivered, and choice about the pace and shape of each day. We work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and, most importantly, the person receiving care to build a support plan that genuinely reflects individual wishes. From help with personal care, medication, and mobility to companionship, meal preparation, and support getting out and about in the local community, our care is as practical as it is personal. We are pleased to hold an overall rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, with Good ratings awarded across all five inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. For families, a consistent Good rating across every area offers welcome reassurance. It reflects a team that not only delivers kind and attentive care but does so within a framework that is safe, thoughtfully led, and responsive to the changing needs of the people we support. It also speaks to a culture of accountability, where continuous improvement and open communication are part of daily working life. Choosing home care is a significant decision, and we understand that families often begin this journey feeling uncertain or overwhelmed. Perhaps you are exploring options for an ageing parent, arranging support following a hospital stay, or looking for the right team to walk alongside a loved one with more complex needs. Whatever has brought you here, please know that you do not have to work it out alone. We at Assist Care Group West Sussex warmly invite you to reach out and start a conversation. We are always happy to listen, answer your questions, and explore whether our approach feels like the right fit for your family. Together, we can shape a package of care that brings comfort, confidence, and continuity, right where it matters most: at home in Worthing.
