Our story

Fifteen years of care that means it.

Founded in Kent, we set out with one conviction: that care is only care when it's genuinely human. That conviction hasn't changed. Everything we do — staffing, training, supported living, domiciliary care — is built around people first, paperwork second.

Where we come from

Born in Dartford,
rooted in community.

The Affectionate Care Support Ltd. grew from a simple frustration: too many care services were clinical in the cold sense — efficient but impersonal. We wanted to prove that high standards and genuine warmth aren't in conflict. They reinforce each other.

Today we operate from offices in Dartford and Rochester, serving families and facilities across Kent. Our team is small by design — every member is personally selected, trained to our standard, and aligned with our values.

“High standards and genuine warmth aren't in conflict. They reinforce each other.”

How we work

The principles behind
everything we do.

Not a mission statement. These are the commitments our team lives by every day.

Compassion without compromise

Warmth is not a trade-off for professionalism — it is our definition of it. Every carer we place is chosen as much for their character as their qualifications.

Consistency you can rely on

Families deserve to know what to expect. We build long-term relationships with the people in our care, not a rotating rota of strangers.

Independence where possible

Our supported living and domiciliary care are designed to maximise autonomy — enabling people to live the life they want, with the support they need.

Who we help

Supporting people
who matter.

Our care spans a wide range of needs. Whatever the situation, the approach is always the same: patient, skilled, and genuinely caring.
