About Direct Support Professionals
We at Direct Support Professionals are proud to provide compassionate home care across Worthing and the wider West Sussex community, supporting individuals to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home. Based in the BN postcode area on the South East coast, our team works throughout Worthing and its surrounding neighbourhoods, bringing personalised support directly to the people we serve. Rather than asking individuals to adapt to an unfamiliar setting, we step into their world, respecting the rhythms, routines, and surroundings that make each home unique. From quiet residential streets to busier town centre flats, our carers travel to wherever they are needed, offering reliable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into daily life. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the people we support. We provide home care for adults who may require help with everyday tasks such as personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, and companionship. We also offer dedicated support for individuals with learning disabilities and autism, recognising that every person communicates, processes, and engages with the world in their own way. Our approach is built around understanding each person as an individual, learning their preferences, and supporting them to build confidence, develop skills, and take part in the activities and routines that matter most to them. We additionally support people living with mental health needs, providing steady, respectful care that promotes wellbeing, stability, and a sense of agency. For families, this means knowing that a loved one is not only safe but genuinely understood, with carers who listen carefully and respond with patience and kindness. We believe that good support is about more than completing tasks; it is about building trusting relationships that help people feel valued, heard, and at ease in their own lives. Our work has been independently reviewed by the Care Quality Commission, which awarded us an overall rating of Good. We achieved a Good rating across all five inspection areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. This consistent recognition reflects our commitment to delivering care that is safe, thoughtful, person-centred, and properly managed. For families exploring options, a Good CQC rating offers reassurance that an independent regulator has examined how we work and confirmed that we meet the standards expected of a quality care provider. Choosing home care is a significant decision, and we understand the weight that families carry when looking for the right support for someone they love. If you would like to learn more about how we can help you or a family member to continue living confidently at home in Worthing, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We are here to listen, to answer your questions, and to walk alongside you as you consider what comes next.
