About Age UK Rivers
Age UK Kent Rivers supports older people in and around Faversham in their own homes. Our work is rooted in the local area, and a good deal of it is about the practical business of keeping somebody independent and connected rather than simply safe. We help with the everyday things that have become harder, washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and getting out and about. We support people living with dementia, where a familiar carer and an unhurried pace matter more than anything written in a plan. We also work with people managing mental health conditions, where reliability and being genuinely listened to count for a great deal, people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, where sensible adjustments often change how a whole day feels. Older people can become isolated without anybody noticing, and we think good support does something about that rather than working silently through a rota. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat that as the standard to hold. If you are considering support at home in this area, ring us and we will talk it through honestly.
