About Folkestone Care Centre
Folkestone Care Centre supports older people with residential and nursing care, including dementia, palliative and respite care. Its purpose-built home is intended for residents who can no longer manage safely at home and need person-centred support. Convalescent care and specialist care are also available.
Facilities include en-suite rooms, social areas and activity spaces, with small function areas for family gatherings. Catering can be arranged for special occasions, helping families remain involved in life at the home. Families can join residents for gatherings and activities in dedicated social spaces. Much-loved family pets may also visit, subject to allergies, which is a practical point to consider when planning visits.

How much does Folkestone Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Folkestone Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,277 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
