Questions families ask
What types of care does Haydon-Mayer provide?
They provide person-centred residential, nursing and dementia care, available on a long-term, short-term, respite or convalescence basis.
Are the rooms furnished?
Yes. All rooms are furnished, and residents can personalise them with their own furniture if agreed with the home manager.
Can residents choose their food?
Menus are created around residents' preferences and tastes, prepared fresh each day and adapted for dietary restrictions and relevant medical conditions.
Are dental, hairdressing and chiropody included?
No. These additional services are arranged for residents but are not included in the basic fees.
How much does Haydon-Mayer cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Haydon-Mayer 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.
