Tunbridge Wells care agency take clients to tea

CARE agency TerraBlu held a high tea at Penshurst Place to celebrate UK Older People's Day.

A total of 21 private and social services clients, TerraBlu support workers and managers attended the subsidised event.

Managing director Richard Gould said: "We have a very inclusive approach and want clients and staff all to be part of the TerraBlu family.

"Our social events are proving to be very popular. We think such initiatives are vital, especially for an older community who can sometimes feel isolated."

The company, started by Mr Gould in 2002 and based in Calverley Park Crescent, Tunbridge Wells, is an approved provider for Kent County Council but also offers services for private clients.

It was awarded the highest standard three-star status as a care provider by the Commission for Social Care Inspection following an unannounced inspection in March 2008.

TerraBlu's 65 staff provide home care and support services for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities and the elderly across West Kent.
