Here’s just one great review of our elderly care services:
Phillippe F | Son of Client"We have used Right at Home for several months now and cannot fault their service from the caregivers through to the management team. They always communicate regularly to us by telephone, email etc if there are any concerns and go the extra mile by liaising with the GP, district nurse and pharmacy on our behalf which is fantastic and way beyond their remit. I have no hesitation in recommending Right at Home to anyone that needs good quality care for their loved ones."

Why is elderly care important?
Needing a little help is an inevitable part of getting older. Regardless of healthcare needs or specialist requirements, the structure of our lives change as we reach old age. Elderly care enables people to continue living as they choose, and where they choose, with extra support as and when they need it.
DID YOU KNOW? Kent is predicted to have an increase in the over-65s from 17.6 per cent now to nearly 24 per cent by 2031. With the demographic challenges of our aging population, support services for older people are the biggest area of growing demand, meaning there will be an increase in demand for care.
By offering homecare for elderly people in their own home, we enable our Clients to maintain dignity and independence in familiar surroundings. Elder care is important for many, as a way of completing practical, day-to-day activities safely. For many older people across Medway, it is often vital for combating loneliness.
For Clients with dementia, elderly care at home is vital for providing a calm, reassuring and familiar structure. For others, elder care offers comfort, knowing that there’s always someone you can rely on.
