How much does Hawkinge House cost?

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.
