About Meritum Integrated Care LLP
Meritum Integrated Care provides care and support to people in their own homes in Folkestone and the surrounding area. Our work is home care in its ordinary sense: the practical help that makes staying in your own house a realistic choice rather than a daily struggle. What that help looks like is worked out at home with the person and whoever they want present. For some it is a single short call each morning, to help with washing and dressing and to make sure medication has been taken. For others it is several visits through the day, with meals prepared, shopping fetched, the house kept in order, company, and a hand to get to appointments or simply out for a while. Some people want a great deal of help and others want very little and would rather we did not take over the rest. The things families tell us they notice are not complicated. Carers who arrive when they said they would. Carers who stay the agreed time instead of rushing off. The same faces week after week, so nobody has to explain their own household to a stranger. A phone that gets answered. We plan our rounds locally so those are promises we can keep. Everybody who works for us is checked and trained before they visit anyone, and we are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Please ring and ask us anything you need to know.
