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 £9.20 for the first visit, and £6.70 for the second visit.
