About Home Instead, Sevenoaks & Edenbridge
We provide care at home across Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Edenbridge, and into the villages around them. Our work is with people who would rather stay in their own homes, and with families who want to know that the person they love is genuinely all right between visits. We support older adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, those with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults. Across all of it we put a good deal of effort into matching carer to person. Shared interests, a similar sense of humour, an ability to sit quietly when that is what is wanted: these are not extras, they are what makes an hour of care feel like company rather than a task being performed. We keep our visits long enough to be useful. Rushed care is poor care, and it is usually obvious to everyone except whoever designed the schedule. Where somebody's needs change we revisit the plan properly rather than adding minutes here and there. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of it and slightly wary of it, because a rating describes a period of time rather than a permanent condition. What keeps it true is the same thing that earned it, which is paying close attention to individual people, one visit at a time.
