About Lakem Care
We are Lakem Care, a home care agency in Sittingbourne, Kent. We support older people and younger adults in their own homes, including people living with dementia, people managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Working in somebody's home changes the nature of the job. It is their space, their rules and their routine, and we are there by invitation. That shapes practical things such as asking before moving anything, putting it back where it belongs, and fitting the visit around the household rather than the other way round. For people living with dementia, continuity is a condition of the work rather than a preference. A familiar carer makes a visit possible where an unfamiliar one may not, however capable they are. For somebody with a sensory impairment, a carer who already knows how to communicate saves everyone a great deal of effort, and leaving the home exactly as we found it is a matter of safety. We keep families informed and raise concerns early rather than waiting for a crisis. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating.
