About Extended Caring
Extended Caring supports people in their own homes in Sittingbourne and the surrounding parts of Kent. We work with older people, with adults living with a mental health condition, and with younger adults who need support to manage day to day life and to keep hold of their independence. Home care works best when it fits quietly around someone rather than taking over. We start by asking what is actually hard. Sometimes it is personal care and mobility. Sometimes it is remembering medication, or keeping on top of meals, or the sheer effort of getting a household running when energy is low. Sometimes what is needed most is regular, reliable company and someone to notice how a person is doing. We are glad to provide any of that, and we are honest when we think a different kind of support would suit someone better. Mental health support is a real part of our work rather than an afterthought. That means visits that are predictable, staff who know the person and can tell when something has shifted, and a calm approach when a day is difficult. We try to keep the same small group of people visiting each household, because trust is built slowly and lost quickly. We agree the plan with the person, review it when circumstances change, and stay in contact with families and with the professionals involved in someone's care. If you are considering support in the Sittingbourne area, please contact us and we will talk it through with you.
