Home care from Pagham to Middleton-on-Sea
Bognor Regis and the villages along its stretch of coast are home to a great many older people, from lifelong residents to those who retired here for the sea air. Families searching for home care in Bognor Regis are supporting parents in the town and South Bersted, in bungalows in Aldwick, Rose Green, Nyetimber and Pagham to the west, in Felpham, Flansham, Middleton-on-Sea and Elmer to the east, and inland in Barnham and Yapton. A carer who lives in means someone is always there, day and night.
We also arrange care in Chichester, Arundel, Worthing, Midhurst and Petworth.
St Richard's and the War Memorial Hospital
Emergency and inpatient care for Bognor is at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, run by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, with some residents in the east of the area using Worthing Hospital. The Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital provides rehabilitation beds and clinics in the town. A live-in carer in Bognor Regis arranged before discharge helps your relative come home without delay.
Arun District and West Sussex County Council
Arun District Council and Bognor Regis Town Council handle local services, but adult social care is provided by West Sussex County Council. Ask the county for a free needs assessment and a carer's assessment; depending on savings, it may contribute to care. Attendance Allowance is available whatever your relative's income.
Flat streets, sunshine and the promenade
Bognor is one of the sunniest towns in Britain, and its flat streets and long promenade make it easy to get about with a walking frame, wheelchair or mobility scooter. Hotham Park, the seafront gardens and Pagham Harbour are favourite outings. A carer can help your relative keep enjoying them, along with church, bowls, a coffee morning or lunch with friends. You choose your carer from matched profiles before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in England
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's adult social care team. Means-tested local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare are both available depending on assessed need.
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.
Our carers
The people who would be caring for your family

- Interviewed face to face, never hired on paperwork alone
- Enhanced DBS checked, with references verified
- You meet and approve your carer before they start
