Live-In Care in Ashford
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Ashford, across the town centre, Willesborough, Great Chart and the villages of the borough. A single DBS-checked carer settles into your relative’s house, learns how they like things done and stays, so the same person helps with breakfast, the afternoon walk and the last cup of tea. Speak to us once and we can start working out who suits your relative best.
Perhaps a consultant has just said that a bed on a ward at William Harvey Hospital is no longer needed. The hospital opened in 1979 in Willesborough, replacing an older hospital that had served Ashford since 1928, and it is run by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. Tell us when you hear about a discharge date and we will liaise with the ward, so that a carer, a warm house and a quiet first evening are ready on the day.
When the centre of a town is rebuilt around you, even a short walk to the shops can need a plan. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Ashford: St Mary’s Church, Victoria Park and the Great Stour
Imagine a woman of eighty-four who spent forty summers tending roses and still talks about the borders at Godinton House. On a dry June afternoon, with the gardens open, her carer collects the car, folds the wheelchair and parks as near as the day allows. She sits among the delphiniums and irises with a flask of tea, naming every flower, and by the drive home she has told the carer about the first time she saw them as a girl.
If you would like your own mother or father to have afternoons like that again, ring us and tell us which place they miss most.
An outing is only possible when the rest of the day runs smoothly, so what follows is a plain picture of an ordinary day with a live-in carer in Ashford, from the first kettle to the last pill of the night.
A Gentle Beginning
Your relative wakes, washes and dresses when they are ready, not when a rota says so. The carer is already in the house, so there is no watching the clock and no anxious wait for a knock at the door.
Fountains and River Paths
Victoria Park, near the railway, has an ornate fountain first shown at the 1862 International Exhibition, and the Ashford Green Corridor runs beside the Great Stour and East Stour. The carer takes a rug and a thermos, and pauses wherever your relative would like to sit.
Tablets and Appointments
Each medicine is given at the right hour and written down afterwards. When a surgery or clinic wants to see your relative, the carer accompanies them, listens carefully and tells the family what was said.
Shopping and Cooking
Meals follow medical advice and your relative’s lifelong tastes. County Square and Park Mall are both in the centre of Ashford, so the carer can pick up the ingredients and cook the dishes your mother or father has always known.
Pictures and Prayer
The Picturehouse cinema opened in 2018 at the Elwick Place leisure complex, and St Mary’s Church has been a venue for worship and the arts since its 2010 reordering. The carer helps with the coat, the seat and the walk home, and lets your relative leave whenever they have had enough.
Safe on the Stairs
The carer keeps near your relative on the stairs and in the bathroom, lifts rugs that could catch a slipper and warns the family early about any part of the house that is becoming a risk.

Why Ashford Families Prefer NeeryVille Care
Before writing this page we read what families see when they search for live-in care in Ashford. One national provider describes its service in general terms and gives no price, no hospital and no council, another national page has a long list of questions but no hospital or council either, and a directory lists 25 live-in providers, most with a weekly figure beside the name. Ours names the hospital, links the county council and a local dementia service, gives the daily price and puts one employed carer in your relative’s home. Here is why Ashford families choose us.
Someone they recognise
After a few weeks a carer knows that the radio goes on at seven, that the toast is cut in triangles and that one programme is never missed. Your relative stops feeling looked after by a stranger and starts feeling looked after by a person.
Our same-carer approach is built on that, and for someone with dementia one familiar face can take the edge off a long afternoon.
Free to stop in two weeks
If the arrangement is wrong for your family, you can end it at any point in the first 14 days with no notice and no fee.
This is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, and it allows a family in Ashford to see how live-in care feels before committing to it.
Carers we employ ourselves
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Every carer is employed, trained and supported by us rather than listed as a self-employed name, and you can read our registration on the CQC website.
Clinical oversight
Placements run within a clinical governance framework overseen by experienced clinicians, so care for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery from a stroke stays steady from one week to the next.
Ready within days
A leaving date at William Harvey Hospital can be set at short notice, so we move quickly. After our first conversation the right carer is normally at the house within 24 to 48 hours, and that kind of 24 hour care in Ashford can be in place before your relative is wheeled out of the ward. Pass the date to us as soon as the ward gives it and we will plan the first evening with you.
Run by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia expertise, and he oversees each placement himself. When you ring, you speak to him or to a member of the care team.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?

0208 129 5854.
We will listen to your situation, answer every question you have and give you the time you need to make the right decision.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Dementia Care and Live-In Support in Ashford: When Is the Right Moment?
Few families can put a date on the change. A live-in carer is worth considering when your relative needs company at night as well as by day and flatly refuses to talk about leaving their home.
Think of a daughter in London who can be in Ashford in under forty minutes on the fast train, since domestic services began in December 2009, yet cannot be there every evening. Her father, eighty-seven, rang her at midnight to say that someone had been in the kitchen. A week later he fell, and the ambulance took him to William Harvey Hospital. A carer in the house could have sat with him at midnight and helped him back to bed. Phone us before another night like that, not after.
When we first speak we ask about his working life, the roads he used to take and what calms him, and the care plan grows from those answers.
Maybe you are the one who drives over every evening after work. Choosing respite care in Ashford gives you a weekend, a fortnight or longer while one trusted carer lives in your parent’s home. Call us and we can look at dates together.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Ashford
Our live-in carers in Ashford support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, whether they live in Willesborough, Great Chart or the streets around the town centre.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Staying Together at Home: Couples in Ashford
Picture a husband and wife in a Willesborough house who have never learned to drive and whose Sunday walk always passed the windmill of 1869 near Hythe Road. She is losing her sight, and he is beginning to forget where he has put things. Between them they manage, but only just, and the thought of separate care homes frightens them both.
One live-in carer can describe the road ahead to her, remind him of the day’s plan, cook for the pair of them and walk with them when they are ready. Contact us and we will show you how one placement could look after both.

Why Ashford Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has lived in Ashford for decades, live-in care means they can keep their own front door and the streets they know best.
People were settling by the Stour as long ago as 893, Henry III granted a charter for the livestock market in 1243, and the railway arrived in the 1840s. A person who remembers the town before the ring road changed may feel more at ease in the rooms they know than anywhere new.
At home your relative sleeps in their own bed, finds the mugs in the usual cupboard and eats at their usual hour. One carer moves in and picks up the small habits, so the same person helps with breakfast and with bedtime, and a couple can remain together with one carer looking after both.
Getting between a Willesborough surgery and the shops in town can be tiring, and when a stay at William Harvey Hospital is over, the same carer can be at home to help with the stairs, the errands and short walks.
To talk about what might work for your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Ask us anything at all, and there is no obligation.
Live-In Care in Ashford: The Daily Price, £190
You should not have to guess at the cost, so here it is in plain figures.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Ashford starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After the free assessment you will have the exact figure in writing before you agree to anything.
What the Daily Rate Covers
A week in Ashford might hold a morning at the Stour Centre by the station, an hour on a bench in Coningbrook Lakes Country Park and a look round Ashford Borough Museum. For the daily rate your relative has a carer living in the house who answers a call in the night, helps with washing and dressing, cooks full meals, gives medicines and records each one, watches the stairs and goes to appointments.
A few situations need more planning and are priced after a conversation, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation. Tell us what is happening and we will advise you honestly.
Paying for Care at Home in Ashford
Some people qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which the NHS describes as ongoing care arranged and paid for by the health service for adults with a primary health need. A checklist is completed first, and only if it points that way does a full assessment follow, so it is worth asking the hospital team about it before a discharge.
Kent County Council says anyone who thinks they have care and support needs is entitled to a free assessment, and you can make a self-assessment online, ask for an assessment or be referred by a GP. The number is 03000 41 61 61, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Whether you then contribute to the cost depends on a financial assessment, which we mention as background only.
Age UK Hythe, Lyminge and Ashford is an independent local charity that began as Age Concern in 1975 and offers information and advice, lunch clubs, home help and a meal delivery service with a welfare check. For memory worries, the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Service has Dementia Coordinators in Kent on 0800 035 2221, and a GP surgery or memory clinic can refer you.
You do not have to wait for any decision before a carer moves in, so a pending letter need not hold you back.

Getting Started in Ashford:
Plenty of families say that dialling the number was the difficult part. After that, four steps take you from the first call to a carer in the house.
01
Pick up the phone
You do not need to have anything prepared.
Ring 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or a member of the care team will answer.
Describe how things are at home just now and we will explain what can be done, with no forms and no pressure.
We arrange live-in care every day, so a hard first call is not something that worries us.
03
Telling us their story
We ask what Ashford means to your relative. It may be a household that welcomed visitors from Bad Münstereifel after the twinning of 1964, a childhood close to the market on Elwick Road or evenings at the Julie Rose Stadium in Willesborough, which opened in 1997.
These memories go into the care plan so the carer can bring them up at a quiet moment. Ring whenever you are ready.
Matching the carer
We pair skills with medical needs and temperament with temperament, so the new arrival fits the household.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee lets you judge how the first fortnight goes.
02
04
Moving in
Most carers arrive a day or two after we meet, sooner if the ward has given a date.
If your relative is still at William Harvey Hospital, the carer’s first day is fitted around the ward’s plans.
One named point of contact looks after you from the first phone call until everything runs well.
Phone today and a carer could be with your relative within a day or two. If the ward has given a leaving date, tell us and we will plan backwards from it.
The Registered Care Manager visits for the free assessment and rings again once the carer has settled. Live-in care is all we do, so whoever picks up the phone knows the subject well.

Questions About Live-In Care in Ashford, Answered
How much does live-in care in Ashford cost?
Live-in care in Ashford costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, and there are no nasty surprises further on. You receive the exact figure in writing after the free assessment and before you commit.
How quickly can live-in care start in Ashford?
Usually a carer is in place a day or two after we meet, even when the first call is made from a ward at William Harvey Hospital. Everything starts with one telephone call.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. Familiar rooms and the same carer every day give a person with dementia a face they know and a rhythm they can lean on. The Alzheimer's and Dementia Support Service offers Dementia Coordinators in Kent on 0800 035 2221, and your GP can start a memory assessment.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That is a decision only your family can make. At home your relative keeps their own bed, their own streets and one carer, and a husband and wife do not have to be parted. We go through the practical side with you before anything is agreed.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
If the regular carer is unwell or away, we send a replacement so your relative's home is never left without support.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and the details can be read on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Ashford do you cover?
We cover all of Ashford, from the town centre to Willesborough and Great Chart, and the wider Ashford borough.
Do you offer respite care in Ashford?
Yes, respite care in Ashford is something we do regularly. If you look after a parent or partner and need a rest, a live-in carer can take over for a long weekend or for several weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. By the time your relative leaves William Harvey Hospital, the carer can already be at the house with the heating on and a plan for the first day.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
You may end the care at any moment in the first 14 days if it is not right, with no notice period and no charge.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. You may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, or for help following an assessment by Kent County Council, and Age UK Hythe, Lyminge and Ashford can advise on benefits you might claim.
Can a live-in carer take my mother to see the gardens at Godinton House?
Godinton House stands in the parish of Great Chart, about two miles north-west of Ashford, and is known for its Dutch gables and borders of delphiniums, irises and roses. The carer can check opening times with you, drive, bring a folding seat and stay as long as she is enjoying it.
Could the carer meet my daughter off the train at Ashford International?
Ashford International opened in 1994, and since December 2009 domestic trains have taken about 38 minutes to reach London. Your carer can accompany your father to the station, wait with him on the concourse and see him and your daughter safely home.
How would a carer get my husband to a clinic at William Harvey Hospital?
The hospital is in Willesborough, on the eastern side of Ashford, and has an A&E department. The carer plans the journey, carries his tablets and appointment letter, sits beside him in the waiting area and brings him back afterwards.
