About Better Families Social Work Services
Better Families provides care and support to people in their own homes in Gravesend and the surrounding parts of Kent. We work with older people and people living with dementia, with adults who have a learning disability and with autistic adults, with people who have physical disabilities and with younger adults. Each package is planned around the person rather than offered from a list. Some people want a short call in the morning to help with washing, dressing and medication so the day starts safely. Others need support at several points, with meals, mobility, the laundry and the house, or help to get out to appointments and to see people. For adults with a learning disability and for autistic adults, the work is often about making independent living practical rather than about personal care. We visit before anything begins, agree the plan with the person and anyone they want present, write it in plain words and review it as circumstances change. We say honestly when we think somebody needs more support than can safely be provided at home. Keeping the same carers going into the same households is something we work at, because familiarity is how changes get noticed early. The Care Quality Commission has not yet published an overall rating for us. We are registered with them and work to their standards. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
