About Agincare UK
Agincare UK Medway is a home care agency based in Chatham, supporting adults in their own homes across Medway. We work with older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability or a sensory impairment and people managing a mental health condition. Calls cover personal care, medication, meals, help to move safely about the home, shopping, appointments and company. Families frequently ask what happens when something goes wrong at an awkward hour, and it is a fair question. A fall at the weekend, a missed call, a sudden change in somebody's condition. We would rather be judged on those moments than on the easy weeks, so there is always somebody contactable who knows the person, and we tell relatives what has happened promptly rather than leaving them to work it out. The everyday work counts just as much. We ask how a person already manages, fill in the gaps rather than take over, keep visiting teams small and revisit the plan as needs change. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging support at home in Medway, please get in touch and we will talk through what would actually be useful, including the point at which visits stop being enough.
