Capable Care

14/02/2026

Valentines - dating back to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, got us thinking - how to you define LOVE. So in that very modern way I asked ChatGPT.

It responded describing the values that are at the heart of everything we do at Capable Care. We see this in the relationships that form, the love that exists between our team and our clients and the genuine sharing of lives that happens when care is done with people, not to them.

If you need a team that's helpful, kind, responsive and friendly, you might just have found them.

On the first Tuesday of the month we go to the Bromley Dementia Friendly Community Group Networking session. It's free and hosted by the lovely guys at Thackray Williams Solicitors . Anyone with a interest in Dementia can go and it's a brilliant forum for sharing information, picking up news and generally meeting people. We were so busy listening we didn't get a good photo!

Following on from December's abortive fiasco of a meeting, Bromley Council has now re-arranged two meetings, one for vision impaired people and one for hearing impaired people. At least they've learned that much! Whereas the previous meeting was to hear our views - and they promised there that no decision would be taken before this new meeting - they are now inviting us to hear what they've decided! They ask that everyone be treated with respect - it's a pity that we're not being treated with a bit more respect!

Anyway, please come along if you can as the more of us that are there, the stronger will be our voice. To book your place, please contact deafPLUS (information@deafplus.org - 020 8315 2550) or The Kent Association for the Blind (KAB), (rehab.bromley@kab.org.uk - 020 8464 8406) including what session(s) you would like to attend and any access requirements for the session. Or you can contact Bromley Experts by Experience on info@xbyxbromley.org.uk or 0208 650 2102 and they
will pass on your information.

Both meetings will be held at COMMUNITY HOUSE, South St, Bromley BR1 1RH.

It's cold. 🥶 It's wet. ☔️It's definitely February. ⛈️ For lots of people this means increased isolation because they can't get out and about.

Why don't you let us come to you?👫

All are carers are fully trained, hold an enhanced DBS and are people we would have in our own home. We can do everything from a regular pop-in, to accompanying people to appointments, shopping and events as well as all the top quality care tasks you'd expect from a CQC registered company. 💪

Pop in and see us or call 0208 650 7264 or email hello@capablecare.co.uk

We ❤️ this! Really good care offers kindness, fellowship and the chance to be seen as a person. It's very easy for people to talk about bad care because it always makes the news. BUT there's a lot of really brilliant life-changing stuff that happens every day around the world.

When we say we're hot stuff - we mean it! But that's because local Beckenham business SMK Electrical has been in CC HQ fitting a new rad! It's got timers, variable temperatures and all kinds of things but especially a boost which is really helpful when we work unsociable hours!

We 🩷 working with the guys at SMK Electrical. Like us, they live and work in Beckenham and are a really community business. We've worked with them at home, work and with clients and they are always honest, reliable and impectably tidy!

Let us know if you need any details!

Bromley Council are hosting an engagement event for sensory services. The current contracts are ending in 2026. If you have an interest deaf or blind services you can book a slot for the 7th Jan event.

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sensory-support-services-engagment-tickets-1975980958238?aff=oddtdtcreator

Is this a genuine attempt to improve the services supplied to deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted people - or is it simply a cynical money-saving exercise by people who don't understand the needs of these separate communities? If you live in the Bromley area we urge you to register for this public meeting now (spaces are limited) and come along to find out and have your say. We think that this is important as it could affect services (for good or bad?) for many years to come. Please book using this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sensory-support-services-engagment-tickets-1975980958238?aff=oddtdtcreator

🎄🎄Christmas is a time of treats - and our hard working staff don't deserve anything less! So we just wanted to let you know that next Thursday, the 18th December, we will be out of the office in the afternoon treating them! 🎁

🆘 We will of course still be available for emergencies - so don't panic. But between 1.30pm and 5pm we will only be responding to things that need an urgent response.

🎖️ We believe it's really important to reward our team - they work every single day of the year 📆, in all weathers 🌦️, to make sure our clients never go without a visit. A calm, capable, reliable team that goes the extra mile for our clients.

🩷 Thanks in advance for your understanding! 🩷
