About Active Support Service
At Active Support Service, we provide home care to people living in Kettering and the surrounding areas of North Northamptonshire. Our work centres on supporting individuals to live as independently as possible, in their own homes and on their own terms. We work with people across a range of needs, including those living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities. We take time to understand each person properly before care begins, because good support only comes from genuinely knowing someone. Their routines, their preferences, the things that matter to them day to day. That knowledge shapes everything we do. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistent effort our team puts in across every visit, every day. We do not take that lightly. Maintaining that standard means being honest when something is not right and always looking at how we can do better. Our carers are local people who understand this community. Many of the people we support have family nearby, and we work closely with those families to keep them informed and involved wherever that is wanted. Care is not something we deliver in isolation. It works best when everyone around a person is pulling in the same direction. We know that inviting someone into your home, or into the home of someone you love, requires real trust. We try to earn that trust from the very first conversation, not just through words but through showing up reliably, communicating openly, and treating every person we support with genuine respect and dignity. If you are looking for care in Kettering or the wider North Northamptonshire area, we would be glad to have a straightforward chat about what you need and how we might be able to help.
