Get in touch Why Home Help & Housekeeping may be right for you
Having familiar faces providing support makes all the difference – that’s why continuity is so important to us. Our Care Professionals become trusted helpers who understand exactly how you like things done, but they’re also keeping a caring eye on your overall wellbeing. Families tell us what peace of mind it brings, knowing someone’s noticing those important little details – whether mum’s eating well, dad’s taking his medications properly, or if there are any changes in mood or routine. Through our care management app, we keep families updated too, so everyone stays connected and reassured about how their loved one is doing.
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.

Tailored Home Help & Housekeeping in Folkestone, Hythe & Ashford
We know that continuity is key to great care, so we match each client with a small, consistent team of Care Professionals who get to know them well. For example, a client in Seabrook recovering from an operation valued a chat, as well as help with daily tasks such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, and errands. Another client shared: “Timely, prompt and friendly visits. With all tasks efficiently carried out.” We bring skilled, compassionate care to every visit, making each interaction warm, familiar, and supportive.
