About Vila Homecare
Vila Homecare provides support at home to adults in Dartford and across north Kent. The people we visit include older people who need help to carry on living at home, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and younger adults who need support to live independently. Those are very different kinds of support and we do not issue everybody the same package. For older people and people living with dementia, the priority is usually continuity and reliability: the same carers, arriving when they said they would, allowed enough time to do things properly. For younger adults and people with a learning disability, it is more often about independence, whether that means cooking, handling money, getting to work or college, or keeping up with friends. For autistic people in particular, how support is given matters as much as what is given. Clear information, staff who stay the same and honest notice before anything changes prevent most difficulties before they start. Support is agreed with the person, and changed when their circumstances change rather than at the next convenient date. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about what would help.
