Live-In Care in Sittingbourne
Yes, NeeryVille Care offers live-in care in Sittingbourne, reaching Milton Regis, Kemsley, Tunstall and Teynham. A single DBS-checked carer moves into your relative's house and stays there, so the morning wash, the lunchtime soup and the checking of the back door at bedtime fall to someone they have come to trust. Lying awake worrying about a parent? Tell us how an ordinary day goes and we will tell you what we could change.
Is a hospital stay at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham almost over? It opened on 26 July 1905 as a naval hospital, has 588 beds in 29 wards, and opened a new A&E in 2018. Telephone us the moment a discharge date comes up, we will talk to the ward, and a carer, a warm house and a calm first night will be ready.
With a changing High Street, a new bus hub and shopping spread across several places, even short errands in Sittingbourne can leave a person drained. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it over, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Sittingbourne: the light railway, the creek and the High Street
Picture a man of eighty-four who joined the paper mill as a boy and stayed for decades. On a dry Saturday his carer takes him to Milton Creek Country Park, where the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway runs, and they find a bench by the track. He points out where the first locomotive, Premier, went into service in 1906, grumbles that the coaches are smaller than he remembers, and nods off over his flask of tea before the train has gone round again.
If your own father has a favourite spot like that, say so when you ring and we will build it into the week.
A Saturday outing sits on top of a steady daily pattern, and here is how a live-in carer handles the rest of the time.
An Unhurried Morning
Getting up, bathing and breakfast follow your relative's habits, with no rota to beat. Because the carer is asleep in the next room, a noise at three in the morning gets an answer within seconds.
By Creek and Railway
The Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway runs for almost two miles from the viaduct to Kemsley Down. Your relative can watch the narrow-gauge trains with the carer beside them, or simply sit in the country park.
Tablets and Appointments
Each medicine is given on time and written down. When a letter names Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital on Bell Road, or the surgery calls your relative in, the carer goes too, listens, and passes everything on.
Shopping and Cooking
Most weeks include a stroll to the High Street and the Forum Shopping Centre, with a stop at the Heritage Hub to see the town's story. Back home, the carer cooks the dishes your relative has always liked.
Evenings Out
The Avenue Theatre and the Light Cinema, which opened in 2021, are both in town, and Sittingbourne F.C., known as the Brickies, play at Woodstock Park. The carer helps with coats, tickets and the walk home.
Steady on the Stairs
At the top of the stairs and beside the bath the carer stays an arm's length away, clears away trailing flex and rucked mats, and tells the family quickly about any worrying change in the house.

Why Sittingbourne Families Pick NeeryVille Care
We looked at what a family sees when searching for live-in care around Sittingbourne. One national provider's local page gives a starting weekly figure in its questions but links no council and offers little about hospitals, a second names no hospital and shows each provider's price only on enquiry, and a directory lists twenty-one live-in providers with weekly rates spread across a very wide range. Ours names the hospital, points to the county council, the local Age UK and a dementia network, states one daily figure and describes one employed carer who moves in. Here is why Sittingbourne families choose us.
A face they come to know
Once a carer has found out how your relative takes their tea and which chair is theirs, a stranger in the house soon stops feeling like one. Over a few weeks they are seen as a person with a past, not as a set of tasks.
Our same-carer approach rests on this, and for anyone living with dementia a single familiar person can calm a restless evening.
Walk away in 14 days
If the arrangement is not working at any moment in the first 14 days, you may end it on the spot, owing no notice and no fee.
That is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Sittingbourne family can see what live-in care is like before they are committed.
Employed, not agency names
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. The carers who come to your door are our own employees, trained and overseen by us, not self-employed people picked from an agency list. Our registration on the CQC website can be read by anyone.
Clinicians in charge
Every placement sits inside a clinical governance framework run by experienced clinicians, which keeps care steady for dementia, Parkinson's disease or recovery after a stroke.
Arranged in days
A homecoming from Medway Maritime Hospital can be fixed at short notice. Once we have met, the chosen carer is normally settled in within 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Sittingbourne is in place before your relative crosses the doorstep. Pass us the date when you get it and we will plan the first night with you.
Run by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care with specialist dementia expertise, and he personally supervises every placement. When you ring, you reach him or a member of the care team.

Dementia Care and Live-In Support in Sittingbourne: Is It Time?
Very few families can point to the day it changed. Live-in care deserves a thought once your relative needs help through the night as well as the day and refuses to discuss leaving home.
Imagine a woman of eighty-three whose husband died in January. Brown envelopes are piling up unopened, her tablets are in three different drawers, and she has missed two appointments because she lost the letters. One evening she is taken to Medway Maritime Hospital after a collapse, and the ward asks who will look after her at home. A carer in the house would have opened the post, laid out the tablets in order and kept the diary. Ring us before the next missed dose, not after.
At our first visit we ask about her husband, her friends and the way she likes her kitchen, and the care plan is written from what she says.
Or you could be the daughter who calls in every evening and cannot switch off at night. Booking respite care in Sittingbourne gives you days or weeks to recover while one trusted carer lives in your father's house throughout. Phone us and we will look at dates.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Sittingbourne
Our live-in carers in Sittingbourne support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in Milton Regis, Kemsley, Tunstall, Teynham and the other villages and estates around the town.
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.
One Home, Two People: Couples in Sittingbourne
Think of a couple in their late seventies who have rarely driven and who ride the bus everywhere. He uses a mobility scooter since a stroke, and she is hard of hearing and does the talking at the surgery for both of them. They have lived under one roof for more than fifty years and the idea of separate homes is unthinkable to them.
One live-in carer can follow his scooter on the pavement, repeat what the receptionist says to her, cook for the two of them and travel with them to appointments. Call us and we will outline how a single placement could look after you both.

Why Sittingbourne Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has spent most of their life in Sittingbourne, live-in care lets them keep their own front door and the streets they know.
The town stood on Watling Street, made bricks and paper, and saw the Kent Association for the Blind formed here in 1920. Milton Regis, now part of it, has a timber-framed Court Hall from 1450 and Holy Trinity Church with its Norman tower. Seeing such familiar places from a favourite chair is worth a great deal to many older people.
At home your relative sleeps in their own bed, knows which drawer holds the teaspoons and eats when they like. One carer moves in and learns their ways, so the same person helps at breakfast and again at bedtime, and a husband and wife can stay together with one carer looking after both.
Shopping across the town, a bus to catch and a pile of appointments can wear a person out. Once a stay at Medway Maritime Hospital ends, the same carer can be at home to help with the stairs, the cooking and a short walk.
To talk about what could suit your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Ask whatever you need, and you will be under no obligation.
Live-In Care in Sittingbourne: What a Day Costs, £190
Nobody should have to guess at the cost, so here it is.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Sittingbourne starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Once we have met you, the exact figure arrives in writing before you commit to anything.
What the Daily Rate Includes
A week in Sittingbourne might hold a trip to the Forum on Monday, a bench by the light railway on Thursday and an evening of speedway or greyhound racing at Central Park Stadium on a Friday. In return for the daily rate your relative has a carer who lives in the house, answers a call in the night, helps with bathing and dressing, cooks proper meals, hands out medicines and records each one, watches the stairs and goes along to appointments.
Some situations call for extra planning and are priced after we have spoken, for example dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation. Explain what is happening and we will give you straight advice.
Paying for Care at Home in Sittingbourne
Kent County Council says that anyone wanting to know what support they might get can ask for a care needs assessment or fill in a self-assessment on its website, and that a financial assessment may follow to work out what the person can pay. The council adds that most people end up paying for some or all of their own care, and it offers a financial estimator that does not replace the full assessment. NHS Continuing Healthcare, explained on the NHS website, is care arranged and paid for by the NHS for people with a primary health need, and a checklist decides whether a full assessment follows.
Kent County Council's Adult Social Care and Health team is on 03000 41 61 61. We mention it for information only, and no one has to begin there.
Age UK Kent Rivers runs a free, confidential Information and Advice service for people over pension age and their families and carers in Faversham, Sheppey and the surrounding area, on 01795 532766, Monday to Thursday from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Its Sittingbourne newsletter has also listed Thursday dementia sessions and a Cafe Culture coffee group, and the Swale Dementia Action Alliance, which brings together local groups and families, can be reached on 01795 597983.
A carer can move in before any funding decision arrives, so there is no reason to hold back for a letter.

How It Starts in Sittingbourne:
Many people tell us that the first call felt like the biggest hurdle. After that there are just four short steps.
01
Make the call
There is nothing to prepare before you ring.
Dial 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or another member of the care team will answer.
Describe how things are at home today, and we will lay out the options with no forms and no pressure.
Arranging live-in care fills our working days, and a nervous first call is a normal one for us.
03
We hear their story
We ask what Sittingbourne has meant to your relative. Perhaps a father who clocked on at the Lloyd paper mill, a mother brought up near the Periwinkle Water Mill in Milton Regis, or an uncle who loaded bricks onto barges at Milton Creek.
All of this goes into the care plan, and the carer raises it when the time is right. Reach out when you feel ready.
We pick the carer
We match skills to health needs and character to character, so that the newcomer fits in with the household.
Under the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee you can assess the first two weeks for yourselves.
02
04
The carer arrives
The carer typically arrives a day or two after we meet, or earlier if a ward has named a discharge date.
If your relative is still on a ward at Medway Maritime Hospital, the carer's first day is built around the ward's timetable.
One person looks after you from the first call until the household has settled into its rhythm.
Call today and a carer might be with your relative within a day or two. If the ward has given a date for coming home, tell us and we will plan everything backwards from it.
The Registered Care Manager comes to do the free assessment and rings again once the carer has settled in. Live-in care is all we offer, so whoever answers knows the subject well.

Live-In Care in Sittingbourne: What Families Want to Know
How much does live-in care in Sittingbourne cost?
Live-in care costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, and the figure is confirmed to you before you sign anything. After the free assessment we put the price for your relative in writing.
How quickly can live-in care start in Sittingbourne?
A carer is usually in the house within a day or two of our meeting, even when the call comes from a ward at Medway Maritime Hospital. One phone call is all that is needed to begin.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A home they know and a single regular carer give someone with dementia familiar faces and a settled day. For local contacts, the Swale Dementia Action Alliance can be reached on 01795 597983, and the GP can arrange a memory assessment.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
That is for your family to decide. At home your relative keeps their own bed, their own street and one carer, and a couple can stay together. We talk through the practicalities with you first.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
When the usual carer is poorly or away, we arrange a cover carer, so your relative is never without help.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and its entry can be read on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Sittingbourne do you cover?
All of it: the town centre and High Street, Milton Regis, Kemsley, Tunstall and Teynham, plus the rest of Swale.
Do you offer respite care in Sittingbourne?
We do, and respite care in Sittingbourne means a live-in carer stepping in for a long weekend or a few weeks while you rest from looking after a parent or partner.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. By the time your relative leaves Medway Maritime Hospital, the carer can 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?
If the care does not suit at any point in the first 14 days, you can end it at once, with no notice and no fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. You may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare or help after an assessment by Kent County Council, and Age UK Kent Rivers can advise people over pension age.
How would my mother get from home to the Forum shops by bus?
Sittingbourne Bus Hub opened on 14 October 2019, and the carer can find out which service suits her and travel with her, carrying the bags and sitting beside her. On a poor day the shopping can be done for her.
Could a carer take my father to the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway?
The railway runs for almost two miles between Sittingbourne Viaduct and Kemsley Down and reopened in full on 27 May 2012. The carer can ring ahead to ask about help for visitors, give an arm at the platform and sit alongside him.
Is the free Safe and Well visit from Kent Fire and Rescue worth arranging?
Kent Fire and Rescue offers a free Safe and Well visit on 0800 923 7000, including to people aged 70 and over. A live-in carer can be present for it and follow up on any advice about smoke alarms or the layout of the house.
