Brief description
Abacus Care Kent Medway is a franchise branch, which has been operating in Kent Medway for 3 years. The franchise is part of the Abacus Care network, which is an established nationally based provider of nursing and domiciliary care. The Kent Medway branch is registered to provide nursing care and the registered provider who has day-to-day control is Mr Jeremy Speakman.
Although registered in May 2005, the agency has yet to provide any qualified nursing care either to establishments or to people living within their own homes. They have established their business providing health care assistants to care homes. The agency will provide 24-hour care to adults and children.
Abacus Care Kent Medway office is situated in a private house in the very rural village of Stelling Minnis and can be accessed by telephone 24 hours a day. The office' is covered by the registered provider and Mrs Speakman. Two qualified nurses are used on a consultancy basis for the required nursing guidance and input.
Various venues are used locally for staff training.
