As we grow older, staying safely in the comfort of our own home can become more difficult. Little things become more and more challenging, from keeping things clean and tidy or putting out the recycling to medication and personal care. Fortunately, support is available. Guild Care has been providing home care services across the area for over 30 years. 

With an experienced and dedicated team of carers, their Home Care service continues to serve people throughout the area, helping you to stay independent for longer.

Lacey Thomas, Head of Home Care at Guild Care, explains the value of providing support that constantly adapts according to each customer’s changing needs. “Care should reflect the unique needs of each person,” said Lacey. “Our team works closely with every client to build a care plan that suits them and their families. These plans are designed to be flexible, so they can be adjusted whenever circumstances change. This approach means our carers become familiar faces and we come to understand individual preferences. If someone’s needs shift, we can ensure a smooth change in support, all within their own home, surrounded by their familiar belongings.”

Guild Care’s services are highly adaptable, beginning with something as simple as a weekly visit for companionship or a short-term respite arrangement when family members need a break or are temporarily unavailable, perhaps away on holiday. This approach allows new people to experience the service and see how it fits into their lives before committing to ongoing support.

As personal or medical needs increase, Guild Care is ready to offer further assistance. This might involve help with collecting prescriptions or accompanying someone to attend their medical appointments. For those requiring more personal care, including support with getting up and washed in the morning, the Home Care team places great importance on preserving dignity and promoting independence.

Community care assistants at Guild Care are friendly and reliable as well as professional. Their focus allows clients to continue living independently at home for as long as they choose.

While Guild Care is rooted in Worthing, its Home Care service extends to a broader area. Support is available across East Preston, Southwick, Shoreham, Lancing, and from Findon down to the coast.
