We spoke with Choice Care 4U to find out about their homecare services for people in Chichester. They provide specialised support for people living with cancer, offering physical and emotional care throughout treatment and recovery to enhance comfort and quality of life. Support can be arranged through local authority funding or privately.

Tell us about your organisation?

Choice Care 4U was established in 2007 and has grown into a trusted, person-centred domiciliary care provider in West Sussex. Since moving under new ownership in 2021, the organisation has continued to strengthen its commitment to delivering compassionate, high-quality support that enables people to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes. With a strong local presence and a dedication to treating every person with dignity, Choice Care 4U is known for its reliability and heartfelt approach to care.

What services do you offer people living with or affected by cancer?

We provide tailored home-care services designed to support individuals at every stage of their cancer journey. This includes personal care, medication support, reablement after hospital discharge, meal preparation, light domestic tasks, emotional support, companionship, mobility assistance, and multidisciplinary coordination with NHS teams, occupational therapists, district nurses, and local authorities. Our goal is to deliver practical and emotional support that makes daily life easier and more comfortable.

Who are your services aimed at supporting?

We support both adults and children, including individuals undergoing cancer treatment, people recovering from hospital stays, those with long-term or complex needs, and anyone requiring safe, reliable, and person-centred care to maintain independence at home.

How do you cater for people with specific needs?

Every individual receives a personalised, strengths-based, and reablement-focused care plan tailored to their needs, wishes, routines, and preferences. Our Birdie digital system ensures confidentiality and accurate real-time record-keeping. Staff are trained in safeguarding, dementia awareness, inclusive communication, manual handling, medication support, and GDPR to ensure safe, responsive, and high-quality care for people with a wide variety of needs and conditions.

What’s the most rewarding thing about the work you do?

Supporting clients and families through challenging times especially during treatment or following a hospital stay and watching individuals regain confidence, dignity, and independence is incredibly rewarding for our whole team.

What would you say to those who are nervous about getting in touch?

You’re not alone. Reaching out is often the hardest step, and we’re here to make it as simple and reassuring as possible. We listen, answer all your questions, and work with you to create a supportive, personalised plan that feels right for you or your loved one.
