About A Heart for Care
A Heart for Care provides care and support in people's own homes across Canterbury and the surrounding part of Kent. We work with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and people with loss of sight or hearing. Our aim 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 the practical running of a household. Company is part of it too, and for somebody living alone that is often what matters most. We think carefully about who we send and how long they stay. Being helped to wash is an intimate business and it is far easier when the person helping is somebody you know, so we keep the same small teams with the same households as far as the rota allows. For people with loss of sight or hearing we adapt how we communicate and how we announce ourselves at the door, since that decides whether a visit is reassuring or alarming. Plans are agreed with the person and revised when circumstances change. Please contact us if you would like to discuss support in Canterbury.
