About Inspire Care Agencies
We are Inspire Care Agencies, supporting adults in their own homes in Tonbridge and the surrounding part of Kent. We support older people, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need help with daily life. The work is practical: help with washing and dressing, support with medication, meals prepared properly, shopping, housework, and a hand getting out of the house. For some people that is one call a day and for others it is several. Because we are guests in somebody's home, they set the terms. We ask how things are usually done and we do them that way rather than arriving with a system of our own. We agree the times that suit and we keep to them, since a late call is no small matter when somebody is waiting to get up or needs their tablets. Where somebody has a sight or hearing impairment, we pay attention to how they prefer to be given information rather than treating that as a detail to be worked out later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to talk about care at home.
