Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Worthing

Worthing • West Sussex

Trusted care and staffing across Worthing

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Worthing and the wider West Sussex coast. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Our base is in the South of England rather than on the Sussex coast itself, so we are honest that we do not run a high street office in Worthing. As an REC-affiliated healthcare staffing agency, though, our reach is genuinely national. We coordinate care and place vetted professionals in Worthing the same way we do everywhere we work, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Worthing

Worthing is a seaside town on the West Sussex coast, sheltered beneath the South Downs, with a long promenade and the Grade II listed Victorian pier at its heart. It is home to a notably high proportion of older residents, and care needs vary widely from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, from the flats and terraces near the seafront and town centre in the BN11 postcode to the quieter suburban roads of Goring-by-Sea, Durrington and Findon Valley further inland. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Worthing Hospital on Lyndhurst Road, which is run by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust and serves the whole Adur and Worthing area. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. Where mental health support is involved, many local services sit under Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by West Sussex County Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, so the standards we work to are the same ones the CQC expects. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
