Home care in Dartford
Visiting care and home care in Dartford
Known for being the gateway to the Garden of England via its famous tunnel crossing from London to the beautiful county of Kent, the bustling commuter town of Dartford has always been a resting point for many travellers and pilgrims alike, dating back to the early Romans. Full of fascinating historical landmarks, such as the famous manor house built for Henry VIII, Dartford also houses some of the best carers in the industry at their Dartford branch in Copperfields Shopping Centre.
We take the standard of our service very seriously and ensure that all of our carers are checked by the Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) and that we adhere to the stringent guidelines set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). In doing so, we can be confident that we are providing a service that is safe, effective and responsive, whilst also only ever employing the very best carers.
Working together to provide compassionate and professional home care, the team cover Dartford, Belvedere, Bexley, Eynsford, Gravesend, Hartley, Meopham, Shorne, Sidcup, Swanley, Welling and the surrounding areas.

Branch Care Manager
My typical working day is never actually typical; although the day to day tasks need to be completed you can never predict what is around the corner! But ultimately, my role is to lead my branch to guarantee that the service that is provided is of the highest standard which ensures that the service is safe for all those involved. My role is to also ensure that my team feel supported and confident in the job they need to deliver; I have a duty to ensure that the service is effective for those that need it. When I am not at work, you’ll often find me cooking up a storm for family and friends. I’m also an avid traveler – recently, I took the plunge and embarked on various solo adventures, something I never thought I’d do before! And yes, I’ll admit it: I have a soft spot for some TV, with Judge Judy / Judy Justice being my guilty pleasure. I love a good crime series too. Socialising and making people feel at ease is my forte. Some people may say I am a perfectionist, but I would say a job done well is a job well done!

Other care we provide
Home Care in Dartford
Since 1989, we have been committed to providing unwavering support to our customers and enabling them to live in the comfort of their own home, whilst still receiving care to suit their needs. From as little as half hour visits to help you to prepare a meal, all the way up to duplicate visits throughout the day to help you to safely take your medication, we’ll put a care package in place that suits your routine and requirements.
With experience in supporting a variety of different conditions including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, amongst any others – the Dartford team will get to know how your symptoms effect you and will collaboratively work with you to find the best solution. And if your needs or symptoms change, we can easily adapt the type of care you receive and how often we visit.
The great thing about home care is that you can stay living in the place you know and love, keep in touch with your local community and have flexible care that works around you, instead of having to leave your home and adhere to strict mealtimes. We only deliver person-centred care, which means we’re dedicated to making sure you remain as independent as you possibly can be.
24/7 Live-in Care Support for Your Review
If you require more intensive support due to complex care needs or live as a couple but you both need a bit of extra help, a live-in carer could be the perfect solution for you. As the name suggests, one of our live in care in Dartford team will come and live with you in your home and be there whenever you need them, day or night.
In addition to fulfilling your practical needs, a live-in carer is also a source of companionship and someone to share any excitement or worries with, particularly if you have any anxieties about the condition you may be living with. If you want to take a trip to London for the day on the train or marvel at the natural wildlife in Dartford Heath, your live-in carer will be with you every step of the way.

Our Friendly Dartford Carers
We’ve been training our kind, empathetic and conscientious carers at our bespoke, in-house training centres for over 30 years, and we believe that being able to develop our staff internally enables us to really deliver the best in person-centred care.
Awarded as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, our training programme covers modules such as manual handling, first aid, medication and dementia with all of our new and existing carers, to make sure they all deliver the latest and safest practices in home care.
Individually Tailored Dementia Care
We’re extremely proud to be recognised as one of the nation’s leading dementia home care providers, which is down to the skill and compassion shown by our talented carers. Working very much with the individual living with dementia and their family, our carers will get to know you and your particular requirements so that everything is tailored around you.
We understand how unsettling it can be when you’re living with any one of the hundreds of different dementia types, but we’ll ensure that you’ll always have familiar faces around to care for you that you can get to know and trust and who know everything there is to know about you and your preferences.
