About Knightingles Healthcare
Knightingles Healthcare provides care and support in people's own homes across Stevenage and the surrounding part of Hertfordshire. We work with people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with loss of sight or hearing, and people managing mental health conditions. Our task is to make home a workable place to stay when daily life has become hard to manage alone. The help covers washing and dressing, medication, preparing meals and seeing they are eaten, shopping, laundry, getting out to appointments, and keeping a household going. For people living with dementia we rely on familiarity above all else: the same carer, at the same time, in a home the person already understands. That prevents far more confusion and distress than any technique we could apply. For people with loss of sight or hearing we adapt how we communicate and how we announce ourselves at the door, because that decides whether a visit is reassuring or startling. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition, consistency and predictability generally matter more than the specific tasks on the list. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to discuss support at home in Stevenage.
