About MF Care and Housing
At MF Care and Housing, we provide home care support to people living in Orpington and the wider Bromley area. We come to the people we support in their own homes, which matters to us because we believe familiar surroundings make a genuine difference to how people feel day to day. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with learning disabilities or autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also support people who are managing eating disorders or recovering from alcohol or drug misuse. We do not think any of these needs should be treated as an afterthought, and we try to approach each person as an individual rather than fitting them into a category. Home care means something different to everyone. For some people it is a few hours of practical help during the week. For others it is more regular, hands on support that allows them to stay in their own home rather than moving somewhere unfamiliar. Whatever the level of support someone needs, we work with them and the people who matter to them to figure out what actually helps. We are honest about where we are as an organisation. Our CQC rating is currently listed as not yet rated, which reflects where we are in our journey rather than the standard we hold ourselves to. We take feedback seriously and we are always looking at how we can do things better. If you are looking for home care in Orpington or the surrounding area, whether for yourself or someone you care about, we are happy to have a straightforward conversation about what we offer and whether we might be a good fit. You are welcome to get in touch at any time.

More about the care at MF Care and Housing
Home Care at MF Care and Housing
Support in your own home means the furniture, the neighbours and the routine all stay put while the help comes to you. MF Care and Housing in Orpington is registered for home care, taking in personal care, medication support, meal preparation and practical help indoors. The agency has not yet been inspected and rated by the Care Quality Commission, so there is no published report and the questions have to be put directly. Hourly rates in London usually sit between £30 and £36, making the number and length of calls the main driver of weekly cost. Ask how the care plan is agreed, how carers are recruited and supervised, and who answers the telephone out of hours.
Older Person Care at MF Care and Housing
Independence often hinges on fairly small amounts of help, such as a hand in the shower, clothes put out and a reminder about tablets. MF Care and Housing is registered for older person care in the borough. Ask how long each call lasts, how many carers would be involved over a month, and what the agency does when one is running late. Availability in the evening, at weekends and overnight should be settled before anything begins. London rates generally fall between £30 and £36 an hour, and Bromley can assess anyone who may be entitled to funded support.
Mental Health at MF Care and Housing
Keeping the week predictable and the dignity intact matters more in mental health support than any particular technique. MF Care and Housing is registered for mental health care at home. Ask what experience the staff have of relevant conditions, how they would spot a deterioration, and which services they would involve in a crisis.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at MF Care and Housing
Where sight or hearing is failing, the useful adjustments are habits rather than hardware, from announcing yourself to leaving nothing moved. MF Care and Housing is registered to support people with visual or hearing impairment. Families should ask how communication needs are captured in the plan, whether large print is available, and how carers verify that a message has landed.
Younger Adults at MF Care and Housing
A care plan for someone under 65 has to account for work, study and a social life. MF Care and Housing is registered to support younger adults as well as older clients. Ask how far visit times can move, whether carers are matched for age and interests, and what goals beyond personal care are written down.
Eating Disorders at MF Care and Housing
Mealtime support for an eating disorder has to be structured without becoming a battleground, which takes patience and clear agreements. MF Care and Housing is registered to support people with eating disorders. Ask what experience the staff have, how they work alongside dietitians or a specialist team, and how concerns about weight or intake are escalated.
Learning Disability and Autism at MF Care and Housing
What works for an autistic adult is rarely generic, depending instead on their routine, their way of communicating and their sensory limits. MF Care and Housing is registered to support adults with a learning disability or autism. Bromley would normally commission and review the package each year, so ask how independence goals are agreed and how progress is recorded.
Physical Disability at MF Care and Housing
Transfers, bathing and getting about the house are the daily realities of a physical disability, and equipment decides how smoothly they go. MF Care and Housing is registered to support people in this category. Ask how carers are trained on the hoist or aid in use, whether two can attend where that is safer, and how the plan protects what someone can still do alone.
