About Open Doors Healthcare Services
Open Doors Healthcare supports people in their own homes in Maidstone and the surrounding parts of Kent. We work with older people and younger adults across a wide range of needs, including dementia, learning disability and autism, mental health conditions, physical disability, visual or hearing impairment, and eating disorders. Given that range, we never begin with a standard package. We begin with a conversation about what is actually difficult, what a person wants to keep doing for themselves, and who else is part of their life. From there we agree a plan, write it in plain language, and make sure every carer who visits is working to it. Support might be personal care, medication and meals, or it might concern the shape of a week, covering appointments, routines, getting out of the house and managing a home that has become hard to keep on top of. We match carers to people with some thought, taking account of language, background, gender and personality, because in someone's own home the fit matters as much as the task list. We aim for small, consistent teams and for arriving when we said we would. If you would like to discuss care at home for yourself or a relative, we are glad to talk it through.
