Being there, for the whole journey
Compassionate, dignified care that allows people to spend their final time at home, surrounded by what matters most.
Staying at home: the most important wish
For many people, the wish to remain at home in their final weeks or months is one of the most deeply held they have. We provide compassionate, professional end of life care across Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Maidstone, working alongside families, GPs, district nurses and hospice teams.
Our carers go above and beyond. Our field care team liaise directly with the family, medical teams and the hospice to make sure our clients have all the support and help they need.
Recently, Elaine Ewer, our Field Care Supervisor in Tunbridge Wells, spent several weeks on the phone to the hospice, the GP and the family, doing everything she could to make sure one of our clients had a good death.
Gentle, practical support
Personal care and practical support
Gentle, dignified help with washing, dressing and personal hygiene, plus meals, light household tasks and medication management.

Companionship and presence
Sometimes the most important thing a carer can offer is simply being there.
Overnight and waking night care
For those who need support through the night.
Respite and support for the family
Time for family members to rest and recharge, and someone always available to talk, answer questions and help families understand what is happening.
Honouring their wishes
Care shaped around what matters to the person: their routines, their preferences and the way they want to spend their time.
Joined-up care, when it matters most
End of life care works best when everyone involved (family, GP, district nurse, hospice team and home care provider) works together. We have experience working alongside hospice teams and district nurses across West Kent.
Reframing the end of life
Louise Piper is an End of Life Doula with Better Endings. In this conversation she talks about what end of life care at home can look like, and why it helps to talk about it early.
You don’t need to have all the answers before you call
Many families contact us while they are still trying to understand what support might look like. That’s absolutely fine. A conversation costs nothing. We’re here, gently and without any pressure, whenever you’re ready.
Could the NHS pay for this care?
For people nearing the end of life, NHS Continuing Healthcare can pay for care at home, and there is a faster Fast Track route. Our Registered Manager explains how it works in Kent.
