How much care homes charge in Ramsgate

Average fees paid by self-funders in South East in 2026
Residential care home£1,555 a week
Nursing home£1,830 a week

Kent County Council's own rates: £28.05 an hour for home care (2025/26 average paid to agencies); £1,186.81 a week for residential care (2025/26 average, over-65s); £1,378 a week for nursing care (2025/26 average, over-65s) (source).

Source: The Care Panel regional fee benchmarks, October 2026 (how we estimate). Next: work out a weekly cost, then get prices from local providers.

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.

How should I compare care homes in Ramsgate?

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 7 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, and 7 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.
