About Footprints
Footprints focuses on residential care for young people with disabilities, including learning disabilities, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. It forms part of Strode Park Foundation, whose services include supported living, day opportunities and respite or short breaks for children and adults.
The service is centred on younger residents rather than older-person care, giving families a specialist setting for ongoing support. The foundation also works across residential care and supported living, so families can compare longer-term accommodation with other forms of assistance. Footprints focuses on residential care for young people with disabilities within this broader disability support organisation.

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