Yes. If a relative is on a ward at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury, contact us as soon as a discharge date is mentioned. We will plan visits or a live-in carer around that date, so support is in place for the first evening home. In many cases care can be arranged within 24 hours.

Our West Kent carers visit homes across Royal Tunbridge Wells, from the town centre and St John’s to Southborough, Rusthall, Langton Green, Speldhurst and Pembury. We also support families in Tonbridge, Hildenborough and Sevenoaks. If you are not sure whether your village is covered, call 01732 905405 and we will check for you.

Companionship is a big part of our visiting care. A carer can walk with your relative to the Pantiles, Calverley Grounds or Dunorlan Park, help with shopping at Royal Victoria Place, or go with them to a café, church or club they already enjoy. Staying connected to familiar places often helps people feel more confident and less isolated.

Kent County Council is responsible for adult social care in Tunbridge Wells. It can carry out a free care needs assessment and a financial assessment, which decide whether you qualify for help with costs. Many families also choose to fund care privately. Our team can explain your options and how PentaCare fits alongside any council support.

For many people it is. A live-in carer stays in your home, so your relative keeps their own room, routines, garden and pets while getting one-to-one support day and night. Couples can stay together too. We are happy to talk through both options openly so you can choose what is right for your family.

Yes. Our carers support people at every stage of dementia, from early memory changes to more complex needs. We aim to keep visits consistent so your relative sees familiar faces, and we build the care plan around their routines, interests and life history, including help with meals, medication prompts, personal care and reassurance at difficult times of day.

Yes. PentaCare is registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Being regulated means the way we recruit and train carers, plan care, support medication and safeguard clients is checked against national standards. You can read our latest inspection report on the CQC website before you decide.
