About Carnalea Residential Home
Carnalea Residential Home provides family-owned residential care in Faversham for older people, including those living with dementia. The home has cared for residents since 1985 and offers a setting where daily life can follow personal preferences rather than a fixed timetable. Breakfast is available when residents are ready, with activities, conversation and shared meals throughout the day.
Residents can choose between private time and communal areas, personalise rooms with furniture and photographs, and join crafts, entertainment or other activities if they wish. An in-house chef cooks meals on site, while a weekly hairdresser and visiting services such as an optician, chiropractor and clergy are also available. There is no enforced bedtime.

Does a hairdresser visit the care home?

Does the care home have its own chef?
Yes. Their in-house chef cooks proper meals rather than reheating them.

Does the care home impose fixed bedtimes?
No. Residents do not have enforced bedtimes and can follow their own evening routine.
How much does Carnalea Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Carnalea 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.
