What is Personal Care?
Keeping up with personal care needs becomes increasingly challenging as you grow older, especially if you are recovering from an illness or operation.
Our personal care home visits empower older adults to set a routine to feel fresh and clean while maintaining their dignity. We provide discreet support in daily activities such as:
​
-
Getting in and out of bed
-
Bathing and continence care
-
Dressing
-
Medication administration
The care administered by the carers who attend to my mother has been outstanding, they are very attentive, very professional and seem to care very much about my mother's well-being.
Anthony, Tunbridge Wells
Who is home care ideal for?
Personal Care home visits are completely tailored to each individual. Visits are scheduled, on time and monitored in our App.
Family members can log in and know precisely what, when and how the care is delivered. Visit notifications are also an option, so you don’t have to worry whether the carer has arrived or not.

Sarah gave us so much information and advice during our assessment that I knew I had to go with Amora! It was a breath of fresh air not to be hard sold anything but just genuine advice and great care..."

Home Care FAQ:
We provide a range of services from companionship to personal care for individuals (or couples) aged 18-65 and the elderly. Our services cater to those who suffer from dementia, Parkinson's disease, cancer, complex cases, post-discharge, and end-of-life.
We cover roughly a 10-mile radius around Tunbridge Wells. Unlike many other providers, this includes most of the surrounding villages and rural areas.
Although we pay our carers well, providing them with attractive wages and the highest mileage and driving compensation in the sector, our rates are still highly competitive. Hourly rates begin at £33.95 per hour and vary slightly during evenings, weekends, and bank holidays.

We are proud to support and accept the Kent Card.
Yes. Our carers have professional indemnity insurance that covers them while providing home care.
They must also complete a comprehensive mandatory training program annually. This covers things like medication support, safeguarding, first-aid, etc. In addition to that, they also do elective training modules for things like stoma care, PEG feeding, oxygen administration, mental health, etc.
Getting this part right is super important to us. If you visit our team's page, you will be able to read the biographies of some of our carers. Typically, an Amora carer is a mature and local individual, carefully selected to establish rapport with our clients quickly and effortlessly.
The questions we will ask during your free assessment will help us find a good match. Then, you'll be able to meet them before care starts to make sure you are comfortable and get on well with them. In the unlikely event the carer is not a good fit, we'll find someone else.
At Amora Care, you will be assigned a team of up to four carers, depending on your needs and the frequency of visits. If you need multiple visits every day, seven days a week, we may assign four carers to ensure your care is consistent and reliable. However, if you require fewer visits, say, two per week, you can have one primary carer with a secondary carer to cover for them when they are on holiday or sick.
We make it our priority to introduce you to your primary carer before your care package begins.
