About Avondalecare
Avondalecare works with people in their own homes in Westgate on Sea and across this part of Kent. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people living with mental ill health. Our work is usually less about personal care tasks and more about making an ordinary life workable. Running a household. Cooking, shopping and managing money. Getting to college, work or activities. Keeping up with family and friends. Handling appointments and the paperwork that piles up. For many of the people we support, having somebody reliable who turns up and who knows them is what holds a week together. Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do rather than around risk alone. Where somebody needs a great deal of help, we still look for the parts they can take on, because independence slips away quietly unless it is actively protected. We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech, and we adapt to them rather than the reverse. Predictability, noise and sensory needs all affect how a day goes, and we treat those as part of the support. Where mental ill health is part of the picture, we work closely with community teams and raise concerns early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
