About Beech Tree Total Care – Thanet
Beech Tree Total Care in Thanet supports people in their own homes in and around Margate, working with older people, adults living with dementia, adults with mental health needs, adults with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. Most people who call us want to stay in their own home, and our job is to make that possible and safe. That might be a call first thing to help with washing, dressing and breakfast, support with medication through the day, help with meals, shopping and laundry, or longer visits that give a family carer a few hours to themselves. We aim to send the same small group of carers to each person, because familiarity does more for confidence than anything written in a care plan. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather be upfront about that than have you come across it later. We know what the inspectors asked us to strengthen and we are working through it. If you are considering us for a relative, ask us about it directly and we will give you a straight answer. What we promise in the meantime is simple. Visits at the times we agree, carers who know the person they are visiting, and a phone call to the family if we notice something is wrong, whether that is a fall, a change in appetite or a mood that has shifted.
