CQC key question ratings, published 18 August 2022. Under each rating: how many care homes in Kent share it.
What it may cost
We estimate Tristford at £1,400–£1,710 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.
Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.
With savings below £23,250, Kent Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
How long it has been running
CQC registration dates from May 2018, so the service has been operating for around 8 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 2 overall ratings for it (2019–2022), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
At 4 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.
Reports on record: 2, with the most recent dated 18 August 2022.
What the ratings tell you
Tristford has an even profile: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led are each rated Good.
For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 329 of the 464 other care homes in Kent that CQC has rated.
