About Hill Farm
Hill Farm provides residential, outreach and supported living services for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health and complex health needs. Its support focuses on confidence, daily skills and increasing independence, with individual programmes aimed at positive behaviour and community integration. Outreach can cover shopping, public transport, social clubs, swimming, work or college, while supported living enables people to live in a flat, house or bungalow with an agreed package of care. Support may range from a few hours a week to seven-day care, with sleep-in or remote monitoring available where required. The homes also offer activities, hobbies and shared community life.

Questions families ask
How flexible is supported living support?
Support can range from a few hours a week to seven days a week. The team agrees a care package with the person and their family or circle of support.
What can outreach support help with?
Outreach support can help with shopping, public transport, social and community clubs, swimming, work or college. Wherever possible, the same support worker attends each time.
Who is supported living for?
Supported living is for people with learning disabilities and related conditions, including those stepping down from residential care and moving towards independent living.
How much does Hill Farm cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Hill Farm 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.
