About Gentle Healthcare Services
Gentle Healthcare is a home care agency in Merton, supporting people in their own homes across this part of London. We work with older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment, younger adults and people living with eating disorders. We take on a broad range of need on purpose. People's circumstances rarely stay neatly in one category, and being able to keep supporting somebody as things change matters more than tidy specialisms. Our visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals, help around the house and getting out and about. For younger adults and for people with a learning disability, the work is often less about personal care and more about making an ordinary week workable. Where we support somebody living with an eating disorder, we work without lecturing and alongside the clinicians involved. Continuity of carer takes planning in London, and we treat it as central rather than as a nice extra. A familiar face who knows the flat, the routine and the person makes a visit work in a way nobody new can. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
