As care needs change, one of the most difficult decisions for families can be how to support couples who require different levels of assistance. At Barlavington Manor, we understand that love doesn’t fade with age and we’ve created a setting that helps couples stay close, even if their care requirements are no longer the same.

Keeping Loved Ones Together

When one partner needs daily support and the other is still relatively independent, it can feel like choices are limited. But at Barlavington Manor, couples don’t have to live apart. Our unique combination of residential care and assisted living bungalows in West Sussex allows partners to remain just a short walk away from one another, offering peace of mind and continuity in their relationship.

Many of our residents live in the main house, where tailored care and 24/7 support is provided. Meanwhile, their spouse or partner might enjoy the independence and flexibility of our nearby bungalows – private homes that offer all the comforts of independent living with the reassurance that help is always close by.

Flexible Living for Changing Needs

The beauty of our setup is that it evolves with your circumstances. If a couple begins in an assisted living bungalow and one person’s needs increase over time, we can support a move to the main house with minimal stress and maximum care. Family members often tell us that having this flexibility removes the fear of future uncertainty.

Our bungalows include one or two bedrooms, ideal for hosting visiting family, carers, or enjoying space and privacy. Residents can cook at home or join others in the main house for meals and social activities, it’s completely up to them.

More Than Just a Home

What sets Barlavington Manor apart is the sense of community, warmth, and dignity we provide. Our team takes the time to get to know each couple and understand their routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. Whether it’s celebrating anniversaries, enjoying shared activities, or simply being able to walk across the gardens for a daily visit, we’re here to make sure those moments continue.
