Questions families ask
Does Alandale offer a free trial stay?
Yes. Prospective clients can stay for up to three days and two nights free of charge to experience the home and its personal care.
Does Alandale accept local authority funded clients?
They have limited availability for short stays and day care, including respite and convalescence. Long-term care usually requires a significant third-party top-up.
Are the bedrooms single occupancy?
Yes. All bedrooms are single occupancy, and 30 of the 35 bedrooms have en-suite facilities.
How much does Alandale Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Alandale Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,096 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
