About KITE - Keep Independent Through Enablement
KITE stands for Keep Independent Through Enablement, and that is a fair description of what we do. We provide support at home for people across Wandsworth, with the aim of helping somebody manage for themselves rather than simply doing things for them. We work with older people who need help with personal care, medication, meals or mobility, with people living with dementia, with people managing mental health conditions, with people living with a physical disability, and with people who have sight or hearing loss. Often the most useful thing we can do is help somebody regain confidence and a routine after an illness, a fall or a hospital stay, so that support can then step back. Goals are set with the person and reviewed as they progress, and we are honest when somebody needs a different kind of support instead. Familiar faces matter, so we plan for continuity rather than hoping for it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you or a relative would like to know what our support actually involves, please get in touch and we will explain it plainly and without pressure.
