Domiciliary Bathing
Our Community Bathing Service is provided under contract to Kent County Council Social Services and is available to residents of the Borough of Maidstone aged over 65 with a mobility problem or having difficulty getting in and out of the Bath. The service is not available to residents of Residential or Nursing Home or an inpatient in any hospital and is subject to the client wishing to receive the service and having being assessed by us as requiring assistance with bathing.
We have a team of bathing Assistants who operate throughout the Borough. The service we offer is limited to bathing in the home which includes use of equipment for safe bathing as required, use of an over bath shower or cubicle if provided or a strip wash. Bed baths will only be given in the case of illness or by previous agreement with the clients’ medical practitioner. We do charge for the service and the current rate is £9.00 per visit.
If you or someone you know requires Bathing we will need to complete a referral form. Please click here to download or contact our office in 11 Mill street on 01622 753618 to complete over the telephone.
As our service is offered in the home we are registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection for this service. Our certificate number is H560002607 and service number is 0000053167. You can view their latest inspection report on our service at their website www.csci.org.uk
