About Care Sante
Care Sante Kent provides care at home for people across Herne Bay and the surrounding parts of Kent. We support a broad range of needs, and what connects our work is the belief that support should be built around the person in front of us rather than around a category they have been placed in. We visit older people who need help with personal care, medication, meals and mobility, and we support people living with dementia in the surroundings that make most sense to them. We also work with adults who have a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our team additionally supports people living with an eating disorder and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse, work that calls for patience, consistency and an absence of judgement more than anything else. Support is planned with the person, reviewed as things change, and delivered wherever possible by the same familiar carers. Families are kept informed where that is wanted. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking into support at home in this part of Kent, please call us. We will visit, listen properly and be honest about whether we can offer what is needed.
