True companionship takes time – that’s why our companionship visits across Canterbury, Faversham, Herne Bay, and Whitstable always last at least an hour, unlike the brief visits common to many local providers. This unhurried approach allows genuine friendships to develop between our clients and Care Professionals. We’re a close team of 15 carefully selected individuals who’ve passed what we call our ‘mum and dad test’ – would we trust them to care for our own parents? As a CQC-regulated provider and top rated home care provider on homecare.co.uk, we back up this personal approach with thorough background checks, multiple references, and comprehensive training.

Companionship means different things to different people. For some clients it’s about sharing a passion for cooking - planning meals together, visiting local shops, and enjoying the process of creating favourite recipes. For others, it might be getting out to local groups or simply having someone to share memories with over a cup of tea. As one client shared: “She is proactive and knows her role very well. She holds a lovely conversation. I really look forward to when she is on duty.” We take time to match you with Care Professionals who share your interests, creating natural connections that feel less like a carer and more like a friend visiting.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

The impact of meaningful companionship is demonstrated in one of our clients’ experiences. One daughter told us: “Mum’s carers are so patient and understanding of her mixed dementia and often difficult behaviour. She adores being taken out and her carers are just the best at keeping this regular for Mum.” With particular expertise in supporting people living with dementia, we understand how consistency and genuine connection can help maintain independence and bring joy to each day.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our hiring standards are exceptionally high. We look beyond qualifications to find people with natural empathy and a genuine desire to make a difference. Under director Henry Iwunze's leadership, every Care Professional completes comprehensive training, including unique City & Guilds accredited programmes in dementia and Parkinson's care. Being a small, tight-knit team of just 15 means we know each client's story, preferences, and routines. When you call our office, you'll speak with someone who understands exactly how to support you or your loved one. That same personal understanding shapes how we support the wider community too. Through partnerships with a Primary School in Wye, whose pupils write heartwarming Christmas wishes to our clients, and initiatives like our support for Faversham Food Bank, we help those in need locally. Our 'Key to Care' sessions share expertise about living well with long-term conditions, while our digital awareness workshops help older adults stay connected in today's world.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
