About 23 Oak Avenue
Adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge community services are supported at 23 Oak Avenue. Insight Specialist Behavioural Service helps residents live within the community, participate in daily decisions and work towards meaningful, rewarding lives.
Its Positive Behaviour Support work uses individual needs, motivations and data to shape practical support and develop alternative skills. The home is near local amenities and public services. Placements prioritise people from Medway and Swale, while referrals from other commissioners are also accepted. The wider service has developed community homes across North Kent since 1991.

Questions families ask
How much does 23 Oak Avenue cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask 23 Oak Avenue for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,834 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask 23 Oak Avenue whether it takes residents funded by Kent council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
