Community Services for Carers
Community Navigators
If you are over 55 years old or are an adult carer (aged 18 years or older and caring for an adult), our community navigators can provide information, support, and help with community, health, and social care options.
Community navigators can help with:
- identifying and planning the support you need
- information about support in your local community
- managing your money and your benefits.
- supporting you to live safely in your own home
- maintaining and adapting your home to your needs
- filling in forms
- going through an assessment process
- connecting you with other carers
- connecting you to social activity groups including learning and developing new skills and interests.
Community navigators support people across Kent and are based with local voluntary organisations around Kent.
