About Bradbury Grange
Bradbury Grange provides residential, dementia and short-term respite care for older people in a care home setting. The home is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia, making it relevant for both ongoing placements and temporary stays.
Its service includes timely assessments for professional referrals and support tailored to individual needs. Daily life is shaped around activities, social contact and involvement from families and volunteers, while the home’s not-for-profit model directs surplus back into its services. Short-term respite care for older people gives families and carers a practical option when a temporary placement is needed.

Questions families ask
How much does Bradbury Grange cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Bradbury Grange 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Bradbury Grange 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.
