Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead Folkestone, Hythe & Ashford are proud to provide expert home care in Folkestone. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
We do things differently at Home Instead because we believe meaningful relationships can’t be rushed. Our visits always last at least an hour, giving time for proper conversations and activities you enjoy. You won’t see our Care Professionals in uniforms either - it feels more like welcoming a friend than a care worker. This relaxed approach, combined with longer visits, means we really get to know you and can spot any little changes in mood or wellbeing early on. It’s about caring for the whole person, not just ticking tasks off a list.
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.
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!

Paul, Client
As I got older, I realised that this service had made me happy in my own home.
Elisie, Client
With an excellent review rating on homecare.co.uk, our local team’s commitment to going the extra mile shines through. For one client, companionship care includes a walk in Brockhill Country Park or working on a jigsaw at home. Another client enjoyed an outing to Brook Agricultural Museum, to reminisce about local history. As one family shared: “The manager who visited us was lovely, understanding, and efficient. The carer companion is a perfect ‘fit.’ Both myself and my husband feel safe and comfortable with her. Well done Home Instead.” This personal approach, backed by our Folkestone office team means clients feel cared for and families reassured.
We are proud to be a family-run service, led by a dedicated husband-and-wife team who share a passion for delivering exceptional care. Companionship with us is more than ticking off tasks. It's about forming real connections and focusing on the small details that bring joy to our clients. Guided by our experienced Care Manager, our DBS checked and fully trained Care Professionals personalise every companionship visit to reflect each client's preferences and interests, whether they need a few hours a week or more regular support. Our team is committed to providing companionship at home that truly makes a difference. That same care extends beyond the home too, through our active role in the Folkestone, Hythe, and Ashford communities. We can signpost helpful local organisations and events, and support clients in attending groups like the Sunflower Memory Cafe at the Romney Marsh Community Hub.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
