About Miles Care
Miles Care is a home care agency in Barking, supporting people across Barking and Dagenham in their own homes. Most of the people we visit are older, a good number are living with dementia, and we also support younger adults and people with a physical disability. We are in the business of keeping people where they would rather be. For some that means a short visit in the morning to get the day started safely. For others it is several calls a day, help with medication, a hand with washing and dressing, meals made, and a watchful eye on how someone is doing. The support should fit the person and it should change when the person does. Dementia asks something particular of a carer. You cannot hurry it and you cannot reason someone out of the world they are in. What works is familiarity, a calm voice and knowing the person's history well enough to find a way in. That is why we are stubborn about sending the same small group of carers rather than whoever is free. Families do an enormous amount in this borough, usually without much fanfare. Part of our job is making sure they get a break and that they are not the last to hear when something changes. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. We are glad to talk through how we work and to put you in touch with people we already support.

More about the care at Miles Care
Dementia Care at Miles Care
You cannot hurry dementia and you cannot reason somebody out of the world they are in, this agency says, which is a fair summary of what carers have to learn. What works instead is familiarity, a calm voice and knowing enough of a person's history to find a way in. Miles Care is registered for dementia care in Barking and Dagenham and has no inspection rating yet. The same small group of carers rather than whoever is free is its stated method, which is the right one for this work. Ask how carers respond to distress, what is in place if somebody is unsafe alone between visits, and how the plan changes as dementia advances.
