Homecare in Cobham, Kent

The cost of homecare in Cobham varies according to the level of support you need and the number of hours you choose. Your free homecare assessment helps us understand your needs, and we'll then create a Care & Support Plan that fits your circumstances and your budget. We review each plan regularly to make sure it continues to suit you. Some people qualify for funding from Kent County Council, and we're happy to explain the process or work with your social worker.

Staying connected to your community is an important part of living well at home. Our Carers can walk with you, drive you to where you want to go or help you prepare so that you arrive relaxed and on time.

These are some of the places and pastimes our Clients in and around Cobham enjoy.

• Cobham Community Stores: The community-run shop on The Street sells everyday essentials, fresh local produce and handmade gifts. It also serves refreshments, so a trip for a few groceries can easily turn into a catch-up with neighbours.
• A pub lunch in the village: Cobham has several traditional pubs, including The Leather Bottle, which is well known for its links to Charles Dickens. Our Carers can help you get there and back, and they can join you or give you some space, whichever you prefer.
• St Mary Magdalene Church: Many Clients value attending services at the historic parish church, which is known for its collection of medieval brasses. We arrange visits around service times so you can continue to attend.
• Jeskyns Community Woodland: Jeskyns is just outside the village on Henhurst Road, and its wide, hard-surfaced paths lead through woodland, meadows and orchards. It has picnic areas, a café and accessible parking bays close to the café entrance, which makes a visit easy to plan.
• Ashenbank Wood and Cobham Wood: These nearby woodlands are popular with walkers who enjoy peaceful surroundings. Some paths can be uneven, so our Carers can help you choose a route that feels comfortable.

• Trips to Gravesend, Strood and Rochester: The nearby towns offer a wider choice of shops and services. Our Carers can take you to medical appointments, help you browse the shops or accompany you to a favourite café, and they'll carry your bags so you can take your time.
• Family occasions: Celebrations, Sunday roasts and visits from grandchildren matter a great deal to our Clients. We can help you get ready beforehand, arrange transport and offer support during the day so you can relax and enjoy the occasion.
