Home Care in Lewisham
CQC-registered, nurse-led domiciliary care for adults across the London Borough of Lewisham, covering Lee, Catford, Blackheath, Forest Hill, and Sydenham.
Trusted Home Care Across Lewisham
Kome Care is a CQC-registered domiciliary care agency providing person-centred home care throughout the London Borough of Lewisham. Perhaps you or a loved one needs support after discharge from University Hospital Lewisham, or a care package following an assessment by Lewisham's adult social care team, or simply a little extra help at home to stay independent. Whatever the reason, our experienced, DBS-checked carers are ready to help.
Where families, GPs and hospital professionals are already involved and appropriate information-sharing arrangements are in place, we can liaise with them so the move from hospital to home is properly joined up. Our coordinators arrange assessment visits as quickly as the person’s needs and our staffing allow, and confirm the timescale with you rather than promising a date before we know we can meet it.
From Lewisham town centre and Lee out to Blackheath, Catford, Forest Hill, and Sydenham, our local care teams know these communities well. Continuity matters, which is why we match clients with the same carers wherever we can, so they become familiar faces rather than rotating strangers.
Funding takes different forms. Whether you are paying privately, using a Direct Payment from the London Borough of Lewisham (adult social care: 020 8314 6000), or accessing NHS Continuing Healthcare, Kome Care can support your pathway and work alongside the arrangement you choose.

Why Families in Lewisham Choose Kome Care
Nurse-Led Complex Care at Home in Lewisham
Complex care is our principal specialist service, delivered alongside the personalised home care described above. It is for people whose needs go beyond routine support — significant or changing health needs, delegated healthcare tasks, complex medication, neurological conditions, or clinical interventions that need proper oversight.
We keep an honest distinction between capabilities we already hold and can deploy after assessment, and interventions we can consider but would need to build for your specific package — recruiting, training and competency-assessing staff before care begins. That distinction matters most to case managers and discharge teams, because it is the difference between a package that starts next week and one that needs a month of preparation.
Before we accept a complex package in Lewisham
Acceptance depends on the person’s assessed needs, location, staffing, the competencies required, equipment, safe rostering and clinical arrangements. We look at:
Assessment & clinical risk
What the person actually needs, and what could go wrong.
Interventions & competencies
Which clinical tasks are involved and who is signed off to do them.
Staff matching & training
The right people, trained for this package rather than in general.
Equipment & safe rostering
Whether the rota can be sustained, not just started.
Escalation arrangements
Who gets called, and how quickly, when something changes.
If we cannot put those in place safely, we will tell you so rather than accept the package and work it out afterwards.

Our full clinical capability list separates what we already do routinely from what needs building for your package.
