Care Services
The Care Services Team is the largest team at Worthing Homes and provides services to older and vulnerable people.
Our 7 sheltered housing schemes offer safe and secure accommodation in the form of studios, flats or bungalows in which our tenants are encouraged to maintain their independence. Scheme Managers provide support and assistance when required, and our Deputy Scheme Managers provide response to emergency calls when the Scheme Manager is off duty (including throughout the night).
RedAssure
Care Services also provide a Community Alarm Scheme to people in the wider community. This service is called RedAssure and is available not just to Worthing Homes' residents, but also to owner/occupiers and those in private rented accommodation or tenants of other Housing Associations.
The installation of RedAssure enables people to call for help from anywhere within their home or garden in the event of an accident, illness or any other emergency. The service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and provides real peace of mind not only to our clients, but also to their friends and families.
