The Canterbury Day Care team, here to help every step of the way
Structured support during daytime hours can make all the difference to living well at home. Rather than attending a day centre, our professional support comes to you – whether you’re in Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay, or Whitstable. What sets us apart is our focus on creating meaningful days, shaped by your interests and routines rather than institutional timetables. As a CQC-regulated provider and a top client satisfaction score on homecare.co.uk, we bring professional expertise with a distinctly personal touch.

Get in touch Why Day Care may be right for you
Professional care shouldn’t mean losing independence. Morning support might involve assistance with washing and dressing, followed by enjoying breakfast at your own pace. As the day continues, your Care Professional could help with light exercise recommended by your physiotherapist, for example, accompany you to local appointments at the GP, or support favourite hobbies – from crosswords to planting bulbs in the local allotment garden. One client explains it best: “After attending to the important tasks, they have been happy to chat with us about their and our lives, putting the world to rights.”
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

We are so impressed with the standard of care my mother is receiving. My mother feels at ease and is well looked after both with personal care and generally managing around the house. Thank you to all the team.
Philip B - Son of Client
Since our carer started to help us in October 2022 for one three-hour session per week, he has proved to be friendly, reliable and competent.
He is an excellent companion with a cheerful approach, and I cannot think of anyone better to be my carer.
R.C - Wife of Client
Home Instead has covered the care needs for my father since leaving the hospital. I feel he is being cared for in the best possible way, by excellent and experienced carers. It has been a good experience for all involved.

Tailored Day Care in Canterbury
Supporting independence at home requires understanding the whole person. A family recently shared: “They are keen to get to know my grandmother and look after her. They spend quality time with her. They get to know what she likes and doesn’t like.” This attention to individual preferences helps create days filled with purpose and enjoyment, rather than simply passing time.
