Whether you're looking for a cosy, affordable home or a luxury residence such as Newington Court with features like private dining rooms, landscaped gardens, and state-of-the-art facilities, there are care homes in Kent to suit a wide variety of care needs and other preferences. Homes like Invicta Court provide expert support for residential, nursing, dementia, and respite care. We list homes throughout the county, including in the towns of Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, and Dartford.

Many homes welcome couples, while others allow you to continue living with your pet, subject to an assessment. For those with specific needs, such as Parkinson’s or mobility challenges, we showcase homes equipped with the right support, often located near major hospitals such as Kent and Canterbury Hospital for added peace of mind.

Our free platform makes it easy to compare homes local to you by care type, your budget, availability, and facilities - all in one place.
