Overall Experience

From leaving hospital in April my husband has been looked after by the most wonderful carers. They are highly professional, kind and considerate. He completely bedridden and totally dependent on them for personal care. They are unfailingly cheerful and we both look forward to their four visits a day.

We couldn't ask for pleasanter people.

Overall Experience

It is a difficult time when a parent has reached a level of infirmity that requires care from a professional care provider. The management and staff made this difficult time easier by providing an excellent service and level of care with endless patience, understanding and kindness to not only the service

user but to the family of the service user. This is was something that really helped us all. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

From the first day of getting home from hospital Care has been arranged at my home.
Firstly I was a bit apprehensive about letting people into my house to help me. How wrong was I!
All the teams that came morning, noon and night were so professional, kind caring and extremely gentle.
The confident

way they handle any situation, ie showering, getting me out of bed and making my meals throughout the day has been handled with extreme kindness for my situation.
I want to thank them so much.

Overall Experience

I would just like to say the care my husband is receiving is above and beyond. His carers are compassionate, empathic and always kind which means a great deal. Nothing is too much trouble and when he is struggling they never rush him and always give him time if he asks them to wait. They have taken

the time to build a rapport with him which puts him at ease and due to his dementia has allowed him to remember who they are. I would have no trouble recommending Enabling Care For You.

Overall Experience

My Uncle was in need of carers on his release from Maidstone Hospital at the beginning of February 2025. The carers were palliative and the hospital made the arrangements. The carers came in four day shifts/four times a day and I have to say we had four of the most caring, kind carers. They were

so giving of themselves. They were gentle and kind and gave my uncle the dignity that sadly he felt he was losing.

I want to thank you for your help and support. I am not sure how, without your team, we would have managed as long as we did.

I appreciate there is a whole team sorting everything out behind the scenes and I would like to thank all of you for your support.

Your appreciation will be shared with the team directly,They will be deeply touched to know the difference they made.Behind every visit is indeed a team working quietly to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, and your recognition of that effort is very gratefully received.On behalf of all of us here, thank you again.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank Enabling Care enough for everything they've done for my Father. I truly believe the extraordinary team helped speed up his recovery with their exceptional standards of care, kindness and attention to detail. They came into our lives at a very difficult time when the future seemed uncertain

but as the weeks unfolded with the amazing support and care they showed to Dad he was transformed both mentally and physically. He is where he is today thanks to this amazing team of people for whom I will always be eternally grateful. They changed my life as well. Allowing me time to relax, safe in the knowledge that they were looking after my Dad as if he were a member of their own family. There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe them all. Thank you so much. You are the very best.

Overall Experience

Dad was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago and was recently told that it had spread and there was nothing more they could do. Dad's final wish was to spend the rest of his life at home. Devastating, he could no long stand or walk, and he had become incontinent, however thanks to enabling Care, dad's

wish was granted. Within an hour of him returning home from hospital the team paid him a visit to introduce themselves and assist his needs. They immediately put dad at ease.

Dad was an independent man and was anxious about being washed by anyone other than a family member. The team were respectful and never made him feel undignified. They attended 4 times a day to attend to his every need. Thanks to Enabling Care dad was out of bed every day and the team got him standing walking with a frame. The care that dad received was exceptional Enabling Care made my dad's final wishes possible. When dad's carers heard that he passed they attended the family home to show their respects. Never will I forget this act of such kindness. Thank you, Enable Care you are truly amazing.

Enabling Care For You stepped in to provide additional care to support the 24-hour care we already had in place for our 94-year-old mother. She has dementia and doesn't like strangers in the house. However, she quickly became relaxed with the Enabling Care for You carers who have been visiting twice

a day to look after her over the past few months. The process of organizing this care was friendly and efficient, and the team are professional, great communicators and easy to get in touch with at all times. I would definitely recommend contacting them to discuss your care needs.

Joined: 2013

Philippa Founded Enabling Care For You in 2013 alongside Lesley, following a longstanding professional partnership that began in a residential care home in Plaxtol, Sevenoaks, where Philippa held the role of Manager.

After the birth of her youngest child, Philippa felt a strong calling to work within the community. She spent two years working for a mental health charity, gaining valuable experience before joining Kent County Council’s Commercial Services flagship care agency. There, her leadership skills quickly stood out. She progressed from Branch Manager to Registered Manager for Kent and Brighton, and was later promoted to Area Manager.

Philippa holds a Level 5 NVQ in Leadership for Health and Social Care, completed in 2008, and previously achieved Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Care. Her career in health and social care spans over 25 years, during which she has consistently demonstrated a passion for high-quality, person-centred support.

Driven by a belief that care could be done better, Philippa took the bold step to start her own agency, and Enabling Care For You was born.

In 1994, Lesley took the bold step of opening her own residential care home within her family home. What began with a single client quickly grew into a respected service supporting up to five residents. Lesley ran the home with warmth, professionalism, and a deeply personal touch for 24 years, until it closed in 2017 due to family logistics.

She holds the Registered Manager’s Award (RMA) and has completed Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Health and Social Care, demonstrating her commitment to both practical and leadership roles in care.

Lesley originally joined Enabling Care For You as a sleeping partner, offering support in the background while the agency found its feet.
