Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our care services
What types of care services do you provide?
We provide three main types of care: Live-in Care (24-hour support
from a carer living with you), Visiting Home Care/Domiciliary Care
(flexible home visits), and Extra Care Scheme Support (on-site
care in retirement communities). All services are tailored to
individual needs.
How much does care cost?
Care costs vary depending on the type of service, level of support
needed, and hours required. Live-in care typically costs between
£800-£1,200 per week, while visiting care starts from £20-£25 per
hour. We offer free care assessments to provide accurate quotes
based on individual needs. Some people may be eligible for local
authority funding.
Are your carers qualified and vetted?
Yes, all our carers are fully trained, DBS checked (enhanced
disclosure), and reference checked. They have professional care
qualifications and ongoing training in areas such as dementia
care, medication management, and moving and handling. We're CQC
registered and maintain the highest standards of care.
Can I choose my carer?
Yes, we match carers based on personality, interests, and care
needs to ensure compatibility. You'll meet potential carers before
care begins, and if the match isn't right, we'll find someone
else. Building a trusting relationship is essential to quality
care.
Do you provide dementia care?
Yes, we have specialist dementia-trained carers who understand the
unique needs of people living with dementia. They provide patient,
compassionate support using person-centered approaches that
maintain dignity and quality of life while supporting memory and
cognitive function.
How quickly can care start?
We can often arrange care within 24-48 hours for urgent
situations, though we recommend allowing 3-5 days when possible to
ensure the best carer match. For hospital discharge support, we
work with NHS teams to coordinate timely care arrangements.
What areas do you cover?
We provide care services across Kent and surrounding areas. For
live-in care, we can arrange support in most locations across the
UK. Contact us to confirm coverage in your specific area.
Can I get funding help for care costs?
Yes, funding may be available through your local authority, NHS
Continuing Healthcare, or Attendance Allowance. We can guide you
through the funding assessment process and help you understand
what financial support you might be entitled to receive.
