About Karia Befriending Care Agency
Karia Befriending Care Agency supports people in their own homes in Barking and across Barking and Dagenham. We help older people who need assistance to stay independent, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults whose care must work around employment, education and family life. Befriending is part of our name for a reason. A great deal of what keeps people well at home is not clinical. It is having someone come in who knows you, who will sit for a while, who notices that you have not eaten and that the post has not been opened. Alongside practical help with washing, dressing, medication, meals, shopping and keeping the house straight, we offer company and support to get out of the house, which for many people is the part that changes how a whole week feels. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are pleased with that, and we treat it as a standard to keep rather than a finish line. We try to send the same carers to the same households, because trust and continuity make personal care easier to accept and mean that changes in someone's health are spotted early. Care plans are agreed with the person, written in plain English and reviewed as needs alter. Families are kept informed and can ring us whenever they are worried. If you are considering care at home, get in touch and tell us what you need.
