About Ashford Lodge
Specialist residential care at Ashford Lodge supports adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and younger adults. The home’s wider provider uses a person-centred framework focused on identity, wellbeing and independence.
Families planning the move from children’s to adult services can access transition planning, while hospital-discharge support helps people move into residential or supported living care. This gives Ashford Lodge a practical role for adults entering a new stage of life or leaving hospital, with support organised around identity, wellbeing and independence.

Questions families ask
How much does Ashford Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ashford Lodge 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 Ashford Lodge 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.
