About Kindred Community
Kindred Community provides care at home for people in Polegate and the surrounding parts of East Sussex. We help with as much or as little as somebody needs, from a short call each day to several visits, and we build it around the household rather than asking the household to fit around us. Most of our work is with older people. We help with washing and dressing, prompting and support with medication, meals and drinks, laundry, shopping and keeping the home comfortable. We also help people get out of the house, to an appointment, to the shops or simply for some air and a change of scene, and we make time for the conversation that goes with it. We support adults with mental health needs, where reliability and an absence of judgement do more good than anything we could write in a plan, and people with a physical disability who need help to move safely and manage at home as independently as possible. We also support younger adults, arranging visits around work, study and family life. Keeping the same care workers going to the same households matters to us, because familiarity means somebody notices when things are not quite right and the person is not forever explaining themselves to a stranger. If you would like to talk about support at home here, please ring us and we will come out and see you.
