When it comes to arranging private home care for yourself or a loved one, making the right decision can feel overwhelming. With so many options available, it’s important to choose a care provider that not only meets your practical needs but also aligns with your values and expectations.
Whether you’re seeking support for an elderly parent, a loved one living with a long-term condition, or simply need a helping hand with daily tasks, private home care offers a flexible, personalised, and dignified solution. Private care also gives you greater control over the type of support you receive, when it’s delivered, and who provides it.
As a trusted private home care provider operating in Kent, Lauriem understands that inviting someone into your home is a deeply personal decision that requires a great level of trust.
5 Tips For Choosing a Trusted Home Care Provider:
1. Experienced, Compassionate Carers
Each member of our Lauriem team is carefully selected, fully trained, and DBS-checked to ensure the highest standards of safety and professionalism. When looking for a trusted home care provider, it is important to review the hiring policies of the company you are enquiring with to ensure it aligns with your values and expectations.
Beyond compliance, it is also important that your home carers bring warmth, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of their service users.
2. Locally Based, Community-Focused
High quality local care providers understand the unique needs of the communities they operate in. Our South-based team is always nearby, ready to respond quickly and provide support when you need it most.

3. Flexible and Responsive Service
Life can be unpredictable, and care needs can change. High quality home care should be flexible and considerate of changes in your circumstances. Whether you need short-term respite care, long-term daily support, or something in between, a trusted home care provider should be able to accommodate a care plan that meets your needs.
4. Clear Communication and Support
Great care starts with great communication. From office teams to care assistants, home care providers should always available to answer questions, provide updates, and ensure your care plan is running smoothly.
