About Home Instead, Tenterden & Rye
Home Instead Crowborough, Tenterden and Rye provides care at home to adults across this part of East Sussex and Kent. We support older people who want to carry on living in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. The work covers personal care, prompting and support with medication, meals, laundry, shopping and help to get out to appointments or simply out for company. For some people the most valuable part of a visit is not a task at all. Working across small towns and a lot of countryside means distances are real and public transport is thin. People here can become isolated long before they become unwell, so getting somebody out and keeping them connected is often as valuable as any practical task. We put most of our effort into continuity and into visits long enough to do the job without rushing. Being met by a familiar face at a familiar time does more to keep somebody settled than anything else we could offer, and the familiar carer is the one who notices when something has changed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch.
