Home Care & Live-In Care in Canterbury
Local Support, Built Around You
Home Care in Canterbury
Good home care should make life easier without taking away the things that make it enjoyable. Our Canterbury team provides flexible care and companionship at home, whether you need regular visiting care or full time live-in care.
Every person is different, so we start by getting to know you — your routines, your preferences, the people who matter to you and the things you enjoy. From there, we create support that fits naturally into your life.
Our Health & Wellbeing Associates can provide personal care, medication support, help around the home and companionship, as well as support to keep you connected with the people and places that matter.
And because life changes, your support can change too. You might start with a few visits each week and increase them if you need more help, or reduce them when you feel more confident.
You set the pace. We’ll be there to support you.
How Much Does it Cost?
Our care and support services start from £34 per hour. We begin with a free consultation to understand your individual needs, preferences and goals before providing a bespoke quote. We're always transparent about our costs, with no hidden surprises. For more information about the pricing of our different services, please visit our Prices page.

"Julie always knows how to make me laugh. She is helpful, kind and caring, and we go to different places together. I always feel better after we've spent time together, and having her support has made such a difference to my life."
Anne (Client)

"Incredible service - a company that truly cares about their customers. Agota (from Thrive) always responds quickly to any queries and is so empathetic with clients, going above and beyond every time. She really takes time to get to know people and explore their individual needs and interests. Her comprehensive knowledge of the care system is invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend her."

“I am very happy with the services that the girls from Thrive Homecare are providing for me.”
Andrea (Client)
Canterbury
"My mother has recently started receiving support from Thrive Home Care, and our experience has been extremely positive. Mum is 95 and living with dementia. She lives alone and has always been fiercely independent, with little awareness of her need for support. From the first meeting, Emma built a natural rapport with Mum, which was incredibly reassuring. Emma currently visits once a week, with plans to increase support over time."
Barry (Son of client)
Whitstable
“From the moment I met my consultant, Agota, I felt very at ease and comfortable. She explained everything clearly and helped me understand how Thrive could support me. My companion helps me with shopping trips and attending medical appointments. I would highly recommend this service to anyone in a similar situation to mine.”
