Support in Hospital

Our Hospital Service covers all acute and community hospitals serving the county and identifies and supports Carers where they are caring for someone who is a patient, or they may be a patient themselves. We enable carers to access the appropriate support they need, with the aim of preventing carer breakdown.

    Comments from Carers

    "After my husband was discharged from Worthing Hospital and I was referred to Carers Support, my life has become easier. Your organisation has been marvellous. Weekly phone calls from a very understanding lady who put us forward for funding. And we certainly appreciate it. It will just make turning on the central heating a lot ‘easier’ now that Ron isn’t so mobile and help towards the incontinence pants. The most important point is that everything you have done has been efficient, organised speedily and with understanding and kindness."
