Will I get help from Kent council with the cost of a care home?
For residents who qualify, the NHS pays towards nursing through NHS-funded nursing care, and the council may help with fees. Under the Care Act 2014, Kent council has to offer a needs assessment at no cost. For the means test, a home is usually counted for care home fees unless it is still home to a partner or certain relatives (and not in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay); in England the threshold is £23,250. How to reach Kent council.

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 3 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, and 3 have an older report. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed care, and the full price before you sign. See the checklist.
