LDC Care Co. specialises in providing help to very complex adults. The company is family-owned and has been in existence for over 25 years, employing about 430 people and expanding throughout East Kent, offering specialist care in over 60 residential homes and supported living facilities.
At LDC Care Co, we believe that offering the best person-centered support creates the best opportunity for accomplishing life objectives and personal milestones, and this has been our motto since 1999.
Everything we do revolves on our four core values: C A R E (commitment, accountability, respect, and excellence). They serve as the basis upon which everything else is built, and they have played an important role in shaping our company into what it is today.
We have multiple ‘Outstanding’ ratings from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We are proud of our capacity to give high-quality care to people who have failed to maintain other mainstream placements or have spent time in secure settings, and then reintegrate them into the larger community to pursue social, personal, or occupational development opportunities.
