# KinCare Senior Support > Compassionate, professional in-home elder care across Ballito and the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast. Services include skilled nursing, dementia and Alzheimer's care, companion and personal care, respite care, palliative and end-of-life care, and post-hospital recovery support. KinCare Senior Support was founded by Sharon — a former teacher and senior corporate leader — after she experienced the shortcomings of impersonal care during her own parents' later years. Her promise: every person in KinCare's care would be cherished, not just cared for. All care is delivered in the client's own home. No facilities, no institutional settings. All carers are background-checked and professionally trained. KinCare is based in Ballito and serves the wider KZN North Coast, including Umhlanga, Salt Rock, Zimbali, Sheffield Beach, Dolphin Coast, Tongaat, Shakaskraal, La Mercy and Westbrook.
