About PCAS

PCAS Kent provides care and support in people's own homes across Faversham and the surrounding part of Kent. We work with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities or loss of sight or hearing, people managing mental health conditions, and people working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs. Covering that range means a template would be useless, so we do not use one. We sit down with the person, find out where help is genuinely needed and what they want their days to look like, and build the visits from there. It takes longer at the start and saves a great deal of trouble afterwards. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition or working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs, consistency and an absence of judgement matter more than any technique. A good many people in those situations have been let down before, and rebuilding trust takes reliability rather than good intentions. We keep the same carers with the same households wherever the rota allows. Please contact us if you would like to talk about support at home.
