About Your Care
Your Care is a home care agency in Herne Bay, supporting people in their own homes across this part of Kent. The name is meant literally. The care belongs to the person receiving it, and our job is to arrange it around their life rather than ask them to fit around ours. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people who have a learning disability, with autistic people, with people who have mental health needs, with people who have physical disabilities and with people who have sight or hearing loss. A visit may involve personal care, support with medication, preparing meals, help with mobility, household tasks, company, or support to get out to appointments and to see people. We start by listening. We ask what time someone likes to wake, what they enjoy eating, what they want help with and what they would far rather manage themselves. That becomes a written plan which we follow and change when needs change. We keep the same small team visiting each client wherever we can, and our carers are trained for the particular needs of the people they see. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of it, and the better test is whether our clients around Herne Bay feel respected and in charge of their own homes while we are in them.
