Supporting Life at Home in Folkestone and Dover

Continuing to live at home can play an important role in helping someone living with dementia maintain confidence and stability. Familiar surroundings, established routines and everyday environments all help to reduce the uncertainty that can come with moving into a care home, while supporting emotional well-being.

We have 15 years of experience in providing Alzheimer's and dementia care across Folkestone and Dover. Our team understands how to provide premium care that slots seamlessly into daily life. Rather than disrupting routines, our care plans are built to accommodate them - helping our clients live in a way that feels comfortable and familiar.

We offer different levels of care depending on individual circumstances:

• Live-in care is delivered by a small, consistent group of carers working on a planned rota, ensuring ongoing support without losing familiarity.
• Visiting care offers flexible support at key points throughout the day, with visits ranging from 30 minutes to longer, more comprehensive sessions.

This flexible approach allows care to evolve, while maintaining continuity and reassurance.

Our Approach to Dementia Care

Designing a person-centred dementia care plan starts with understanding needs. We always start this process with a friendly chat, which helps us learn more about personal routines, preferences and current health needs.

From there, we work with individuals, their families and relevant healthcare professionals to create a bespoke plan that reflects immediate requirements and longer-term considerations.

With a care plan in place, we'll match you or your loved one with a consistent team of highly trained local carers. This consistency helps to build familiarity and trust, as well as lasting relationships between carer and client. All our carers are trained and managed by our local branch, and they're regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) – for total peace of mind.

We regularly review and adjust care plans too, ensuring the support continues to meet changing needs over time.
