Having been highly recommended by friends, I am now using Folkestone homecare to assist with my mothers care and have been very impressed with the care and management of her care,
They have gone above and beyond in looking after her needs and monitoring her welfare.
I would have every confidence
in recommending them.

I looked around for a home care service 12 months ago when I needed help with lunchtime care for my father. I lucked upon Folkestone Home Care & have been extremely happy with the service they provide. They do their utmost to keep the same carers, so Dad gets to know them & vice versa. Nothing is
too much trouble & all the carers I have met are lovely, caring people. Dad was reluctant to allow carers into his home initially but now looks forward to seeing someone at lunchtime, amazing!!

From the first call of enquiry I was impressed by the professionalism and depth of considered care and practical solutions offered by Folkestone Home Care!
Care has been tailored to my fathers needs and undertaken by a regular dedicated team who are familiar to my parents. Communications are
excellent at all times and I can call for advice and guidance at any time and feel understood.
I don't live close to my parents but if there is ever a concern, I know I am able to call the office and that someone would be prepared to go round and check on things if necessary.
We are very fortunate with such genuine care for my father.

Folkestone Home Care provided an excellent home care service for my mother for 3 years before the deterioration of her dementia meant that she needed to transition into residential care in October 2025. I live outside of the UK and the manager and her team have been very effective and efficient in
coordinating mother's healthcare requirements with her GP and the wider NHS service. The devotion to my mother's needs has been quite extraordinary and at times of crisis when I couldn't be present, I was always kept fully appraised of the evolving situation and whether I needed to travel to the UK. I have 100% confidence in the reliability and expertise of the care manager and her team. The care team are marvellous and every one of them established an easy rapport with my mother and performed their duties in an empathetic and professional way. Choosing a home care provider is not an easy thing to do. I couldn't recommend Folkestone Home Care more highly.

My wife was undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer and was due to start a new form of treatment when her condition deteriorated very rapidly over a Sunday afternoon to a comatose state,this completely wrong footed the family in their ability to provide suitable care for her.
At extremely short
notice the manager and her team stepped in to organise both day and night care together with a suitable hospital bed at home and all the necessary nursing welfare equipment.
Through their extraordinary caring ability my wife was kept comfortable and all the family were able to stay with her which contributed greatly to a peaceful passing.
She had nursed my father in 2019 and she and her team built up marvellous rapport with him,it was through this fortunate link that we were able again to rely on her support in a time of need,we are deeply indebted to the manager and her team on every count.

In 2023 I found myself trying to make a very difficult decision, as my elderly mother was becoming more frail and needed more help and with that came the realisation that I couldn't look after her totally on my own any longer. My mother wished to remain living in her own home, and rightly so as it
has been her home for over seventy years and holds many memories of my late father and our family growing up. So I knew I had to find care for her at home, I made many phone calls and did my research but it's a daunting task. One of my calls included Folkestone Home care and I knew immediately by their response and that first conversation I'd found the care team that were going to help me navigate this next stage of life with my mother. I can honestly say I made the right decision they are all an incredible team of girls the time they give too my mother is amazing not only the physical and personal care she requires but they really care for her with love and respect.

While we were away in India for 6 months my father-in-law was admitted to hospital for an operation, he was then sent home. The manager visited him out of hours as she had concerns and called 999. He was readmitted with other health issues. She made sure that we were kept up to date with what was
happening and staff visited him while he was in hospital, and went above and beyond to keep us updated, sending us emails at every step and we were truly grateful. I can not rate this company, the Manager and the staff highly enough. They are all amazing.

I have nothing but praise for the manager and her team. Since asking her to put a care plan together for my elderly mother in August she has not only delivered but exceeded beyond any expectations. She has come up with solutions time and time again with her team. She keeps me informed almost daily
and when there have been concerns her attention to detail has been incredible. Myself and my two brothers can not believe the level of care she provides and in our opinion goes above and beyond. It is also testimony to her dedication in providing a service fit for purpose.
My sister-in-law whose mother is of the same age and lives in Cambridgeshire receives nothing akin to this service, no roster or feedback. I would recommend the manager and Folkestone Home Care to anyone thinking of employing a carer.
Even my mother at 92 who was with Adult Services as a manager with KCC for many years and many years ago appreciates the level of care she receives now she is on 'the other side'.
19 September 2024
I wouldn't be able to cope without the carers arriving each morning to wash and dress my husband as he is now frail and has dementia. They are very kind and understanding and I would recommend Homecare.
11 June 2024
Very pleased with the service provided, it is nice to know the times of the carer's visit. One of the biggest benefits is having my feet and back properly washed and ointment applied as I was not able to do this efficiently myself. I have found it helpful to discuss with the manager potential care
provision post-operatively having regard to the fact that I am living alone.
24 April 2024
The manager and the care team at Folkestone Home Care have been tremendously helpful in being the support I needed for my elderly mum. As I live abroad, I'm unable to be with my mum and help out with all the things that invariably crop up week to week as she struggles to maintain her independence.
Not only has the manager been excellent at organising my mum's day-to-day help but also rises to the challenge in the larger tasks that require careful planning. There have also been emergencies, and at a moment's notice, she jumps to and again excels at organising and communicating with all involved. She has a solid knowledge of medicine and is able to organise medication, keep excellent records, and converse with a medical team on these matters. I'm very thankful to the manager and her team for all they have done.

From the first day Folkestone Home Care started looking after our 89-year-old friend we have all been more than impressed with the high level of care provided. The manager and her girls are brilliant - they get on well with all of us in the house and there is always lots of laughter. They have a
really professional approach to personal care and supervise occupational therapy exercises which is a load off our minds and means it is not us nagging all the time! We know the manager is always ready to help and is just a phone call away. This has been proved twice in emergency situations of late. The manager and her team are giving us our life back and care for the well-being of all of us in the house. We cannot recommend Folkestone and the team highly enough. They have exceeded our expectations and become friends while providing the highest standard of care and support in the most professional way.
25 August 2023
The manager from Folkestone Home Care has been of great help and support to me navigating the private care home system when it became apparent that domiciliary support at home was not sufficient for my mum. The manager has been on the end of the phone giving guidance and advice which has allowed me
to find the right care provision for Mum
Folkestone Home Care went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you so very much.
26 July 2023
The manager has a very kind and caring manner with a friendly smile. She has been very good at reassuring my elderly parents that she and the team will look after them and that they are in safe hands. She is very efficient, organised and full of advice even before the team started attending to care
for my father. The manager has listened to our concerns and has managed the timing of the visits to fit in with my mother’s wishes. Adjusting to strangers going into your home can be tricky and sometimes quite stressful but she has reassured my parents and made them comfortable with the situation.

Folkestone Home Care is extremely well managed and its staff extremely well trained.
Those who have cared for me have shown exceptional attention to detail, carefully assessing my needs and planning my daily care routine, and ensuring carers assigned to me are thoroughly briefed.
They are friendly
and approachable and have treated me with compassion and dignity throughout.
The provider has also gone out of its way at times to accommodate my needs.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
16 March 2023
The Manager and Folkestone Home Care understood the care needed for my mum and acted immediately when circumstances changed. You couldn’t want for better carers, they really care about the person and engage with them, not just for physical care but their mental care and wellbeing. I cannot recommend
them enough.
22 December 2022
Folkestone Home Care have been providing home care for my 95-year-old mother at our flat. My mother is in terminal decline and her medical care is palliative. The team is characterised by its compassion, professionalism and love. Every team member has performed faultlessly and delivered sustained
care of the highest quality. They are angels.
15 December 2022
Absolutely recommend Folkestone Home Care. I had to find urgent home care for my mum with dementia, due to her partner passing away. The manager came out to meet us straight away and was so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Carers were in place and a rota drawn up within a few days. Really
impressed with the care provided to my mum by the lovely girls, coming up with ideas for lunch plans, playing the guitar for her and being flexible with us needing cover for her appointments and lunches. The carer even went with my mum to the hospital when she was found to be unwell one morning. Definitely glad we chose this company.
01 December 2022
We are extremely pleased with the attention we have received from Folkestone Home Care. Our first interviews were helpful and all-inclusive and resulted in my husband being cared for, for three hours per week so I can have time to myself. The carer always arrives on time, always greets my husband
with a smile and conversation, and I gather spends time looking at books, going around the garden and engaging in conversation. She also does my ironing! My husband is always relaxed and happy on my return. I feel completely at ease leaving him with his carer.
13 September 2022
Our carers are so friendly. My husband likes a laugh and we end up having a good laugh all together. They are very professional, very good and even do his exercises with him. My husband doesn't take to people straight away, but with these carers, he is very comfortable. They take great care of him.
They are worth every penny we pay. They keep an eye on his blood pressure and send the results to our doctors. Always clean up after they finish. Cannot speak highly enough of them.
