Advice for finding good carers?

My nephew is 20 and has cerebral palsy. My sister is really struggling to find carers for when he is not at college. They live in Selsey, near Chichester in West Sussex. Unfortunately my nephew has been unwell with epilepsy and a lot of undiagnosed pain recently and so isn’t at college. I am doing all I can to try and help them find good agencies or foster carers who may be able to provide some day care to help support my sister. Any advice or contacts really welcome. Thanks. Fran
