About Us

About Us – Kent Home Care

Welcome to Kent Home Care – your trusted local provider of live-in care across Kent. We are a family-run, independent home care company based in Canterbury, dedicated to delivering personalised, compassionate care that enables you or your loved ones to live life your way — right in the comfort and familiarity of home.

Who We Are

Kent Home Care was established with one clear purpose: to offer a genuinely better alternative to traditional long-term home care arrangements by keeping the focus on quality outcomes and tailored support. We have deep roots in Kent’s care community, with over 30 years’ experience in supporting adults with personal care needs, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and mental health conditions.
We recruit, train and support all our own live-in carers — we do not use agency workers — which means you receive reliable, consistent, and high-quality care delivered by people who truly understand your needs.

Our Services

At Kent Home Care, we specialise in live-in care solutions designed for those who wish to remain safe, independent, and comfortable in their own homes throughout Kent. Our comprehensive service includes:

24/7 Live-in care – around-the-clock personalised support
Personal & domestic care – assistance with daily living activities
Medication support and mobility assistance
Dementia & complex needs care
Hospital discharge support – helping you settle back in after hospital stays
Respite and end-of-life care
Companionship and lifestyle support – meals, shopping, outings, and social activities
Free initial assessment and personalised care planning
We tailor every care plan to individual preferences, routines and lifestyle — including meals you love, choice of daily activities, and flexible routines such as preferred wake-up and bedtime.

Our Quality & Regulation

We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator for health and social care in England. In its latest review, Kent Home Care was rated Good across all key areas — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led — reflecting our commitment to quality and safe care delivery.

Our staff are employed and trained directly by us — meaning we take full responsibility for their support, development and performance. This drives higher continuity, accountability and trust compared with agency-based models.

Why Choose Kent Home Care

At Kent Home Care, we pride ourselves on what makes us different from larger, national or corporate providers:

🏡 Local & Independent
We focus solely on Kent — ensuring personalised, responsive service, and deep local knowledge of the communities we serve.

🤝 Consistent Personal Carers
Most customers receive over 85% of their live-in care from regular carers they know and trust — not rotating agency staff.

📞 Direct, Local Communication
No layers of corporate management or call centres — you speak directly with familiar care managers who know you personally.

💷 Transparent & Predictable Pricing
We offer a fixed weekly rate with no hidden costs, making financial planning simpler and more predictable than many larger national providers with complex fee structures.

🧠 Tailored, Person-Centred Care
Every care plan is built around your preferences, lifestyle and daily routine — because care should fit you, not you fitting into a standard corporate model.

❤️ Community Focus & Trust
Being local means we’re on hand at short notice and can visit regularly to support carers and clients alike — building stronger relationships and better outcomes.

Our Promise

We believe that the choice to remain independent at home is one of the most important choices you can make — and we’re here to make it possible with dignity, skill, and kindness. Whether you’re exploring support for yourself, a partner, a parent or another loved one, we are ready to listen and design a care plan that truly works for you.
