About Caremark (Dartford & Gravesham)
We are Caremark in Dartford and Gravesham, based in Gravesend, and we provide care in people's own homes across this part of Kent. We support older people, including many living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Most families who ring us are at the stage of not quite knowing what they need. That is normal, and helping you work it out is part of our job rather than something to sort before you call. We visit, ask how the day really goes, find out what has become difficult and what somebody still wants to do for themselves, and then say what we think would help. Occasionally that is less than people expected, and we would rather be honest about it. Support might be a short call in the morning to get the day underway, a prompt and a check with medication, a cooked meal and company while it is eaten, help getting safely about the house, or several visits a day. Where a relative is caring full time, the most useful thing we do is often a longer visit that lets them get out properly. Carers are matched to households and kept there wherever we can manage it, because that relationship is what makes this work rather than an extra. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do ring us, even if you are only starting to think about it.
