Yes. They provide support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with staffing levels tailored to each person’s needs.
Who is their care and support for?
They support people with learning disabilities, including individuals with severe challenging behaviour, autism spectrum disorder, profound and multiple learning difficulties, and other complex behavioural needs.
Can they support someone to live independently at home?
Yes. They support people with day-to-day personal and domestic tasks so they can live as independently as possible in their own home.
What can their home carers help with?
They can help with eating and drinking, washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, meal preparation, laundry, ironing and shopping. They can also support social activities and getting out and about.
How much does Fiveways cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fiveways 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.
