About KTG Social Care

We at KTG Social Care are proud to provide compassionate home care across Preston and the surrounding Lancashire communities, supporting individuals to live well and safely in the place they know best: their own home. As a dedicated home care agency serving the PR postcode area, we bring personalised support directly to the people who need it. Our work takes place within the familiar surroundings of each person's own home, whether that is a long established family house, a bungalow, or a flat within the wider Preston area. We believe that home is more than just a building; it is a place filled with memories, comforts, and a sense of identity. Rather than asking people to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, we shape our care around the routines, preferences, and rhythms that already make life feel right. The breadth of our specialisms reflects the diverse needs of the people we support. We provide thoughtful older person care for those who simply need a helping hand to maintain their independence, as well as more comprehensive home care for individuals living with complex or changing needs. For families navigating a diagnosis of dementia, our team offers patient, understanding support that prioritises dignity, gentle reassurance, and continuity of routine. We also support adults living with learning disabilities and autism, working closely with each person to understand how they communicate, what brings them comfort, and how they wish to be involved in their own care. Our mental health support is built on respect, consistency, and a non judgemental approach, helping individuals maintain stability and wellbeing in everyday life. For those living with a physical disability, we provide practical assistance with mobility, personal care, and daily tasks, always in a way that promotes choice and confidence. We are equally experienced in supporting people with visual or hearing impairments, adapting our communication and care techniques to ensure no one feels overlooked or isolated. Younger adults are also welcomed within our care community, and we recognise that their goals, aspirations, and lifestyles often differ from those of older clients, so our approach is tailored accordingly. In practice, this means families can expect care that feels considered and human. A loved one with dementia might be supported through a calm morning routine that reduces anxiety. A younger adult with a learning disability may be encouraged to pursue hobbies, social activities, or independent living skills. An older person recovering from illness might receive help with medication, meals, and gentle companionship. Whatever the situation, our aim is the same: to make daily life a little easier, safer, and more enjoyable. We are pleased that the Care Quality Commission has rated us Good overall, with Good ratings across each of the five key areas: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led. For families, this independent assessment offers reassurance that our practices meet recognised national standards and that the care we deliver is thoughtful, accountable, and centred on the people we support. We see this rating not as a finishing line but as a foundation we continue to build upon, listening to feedback and refining our approach as needs evolve. Choosing home care for someone you love is a significant decision, and we understand the questions, hopes, and worries that can come with it. If you are exploring care options in Preston or the wider Lancashire area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us. We would be delighted to talk through your situation, answer your questions, and help you understand how our team could support your family with care that feels genuinely personal.

More about the care at KTG Social Care

Dementia Care at KTG Social Care

Someone in the early stages of dementia often needs prompting rather than doing for, and later needs rather more. KTG Social Care is registered for dementia care at home, which describes scope rather than practice. Ask how many carers would be involved over a month and whether the same times are kept each day. Ask what the carers do if washing is refused, if meals are left untouched, or if the person is agitated and wants to go out. It is fair to ask as well what the agency would do if it concluded that home visits were no longer enough.

Home Care at KTG Social Care

A domiciliary package is assembled from visits, and its shape decides both the cost and how well it works. KTG Social Care holds a registration for personal care at home, which can run from a single morning call to several visits daily. Inspectors judged the agency good in June 2019, a verdict now some years old, so ask whether anything significant has changed. With local rates of £25 to £30 an hour, ask for the charges in writing, including weekends, bank holidays and any travel. Ask who writes the care plan, how frequently it is reviewed, and how the agency checks that visits happen as agreed.

Older Person Care at KTG Social Care

The day to day of older person care is unglamorous and vital, namely a wash, clean clothes, the right tablets and a hot meal. KTG Social Care in Preston is registered to provide that help in people's own homes. Ask how long a visit lasts, what tasks it covers and whether the carer has time to sit and talk. Ask who attends when the regular carer is away, and whether evening or bedtime calls can be relied upon. Hourly rates in the North West commonly run from £25 to £30. Lancashire can carry out an assessment for anyone who may be entitled to funded support.

Mental Health at KTG Social Care

Turning up when promised is the most therapeutic thing a carer can do for someone whose mental health is unsteady. KTG Social Care is registered to support adults with mental health conditions. Ask about the training and supervision carers receive, how the agency works with community mental health services, and what happens during a crisis.

Visual and Hearing Impairment at KTG Social Care

Someone losing their sight or hearing needs carers with settled habits, from speaking before touching to putting things back exactly where they were. KTG Social Care is registered to support people with a visual or hearing impairment. Ask how staff announce themselves, whether they can guide safely outdoors, and how hearing aids and large print paperwork are managed.

Younger Adults at KTG Social Care

An adult of forty needing help at home has a working week and a social life to protect, not just personal care to receive. KTG Social Care is registered to support younger adults. Ask how flexibly visits can be timed, how carers are matched, and what help is available with getting out and about.

Learning Disability and Autism at KTG Social Care

Help at home for someone with a learning disability or autism should widen what they can do rather than take tasks over. KTG Social Care is registered for this support. Ask how goals are agreed with the person, how sensory and communication needs are recorded, and how the council reviews the package.

Physical Disability at KTG Social Care

Whether a disabled adult can live comfortably at home depends on equipment, adaptations and the competence of the people helping. KTG Social Care is registered to support people with a physical disability. Ask about training on the hoist or transfer aid in use, whether two carers come for transfers, and how the agency works with occupational therapists.
