When to choose supported living
Supported living is an excellent choice for individuals who could benefit from additional assistance around their homes during the week. This might involve occasional visits from a caregiver to help with household tasks or receiving specialised support for complex conditions such as cancer or dementia. Supported living empowers you to maintain an independent, comfortable, and secure life in your own home, surrounded by familiar settings, and receiving personalised one-on-one care from a specialist caregiver.
Expert care services tailored to your needs
We’ve been leading the way in home care for long enough to know that no two people’s care needs are the same, which is why we’ll always offer you a package of care that is tailored around your specific requirements and preferences. Your local care manager will visit you at home to undertake an initial assessment of your needs, and will then work with you to curate a care plan which gives you the right type and level of supported living to allow you to continue living life the way you want. We offer both visiting and live-in home care in Kent and the surrounding area, and your support can always be adapted accordingly should your needs ever change.
Qualified carers providing supported living in Kent
Our wonderful Kent carers truly are at the heart of everything that our customers love about the care services we provide. We want you to be completely comfortable and at ease around your Helping Hands carers, which is why we’re so particular about only employing people who we know you’d be happy to welcome into your home. Every one of our carers has been recruited for their kind, compassionate personality, and has undergone extensive background checks. Then, when they start with us, all new carers receive our comprehensive carer training, which covers a wide range of modules and equips them with the knowledge and skillset to support people with varying needs and preferences. And, so that you can always benefit from total peace of mind about your support, we’re independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).
If you’d like to find out more about how we can support either you or a loved one around the home, please give our friendly customer assistance team a call today. They’re available to talk to every day, and would love to discuss your options for supported living in Kent so that we can help you to continue living life in terms that suit you. Alternatively, you can contact us via our website if you’d prefer to arrange a callback at a time that’s convenient for you.
