About King Edward House
King Edward House provides residential care and supported living for adults with learning disabilities, challenging behaviours or mental health needs. The service is built around full care and support packages delivered in bespoke flats, helping residents live as independently as possible while receiving personal care and help with household tasks.
The setting is in a former Victorian rectory in Ash, with individual independent-living flats and links to village facilities including a GP surgery, pharmacy and physiotherapy practice. Staff receive continuing education, and many hold NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care or higher. Support is delivered in the individual’s home, making the flat-based model relevant to people who want private living space alongside structured assistance. Full care and support packages in bespoke flats distinguish the offer.

Yes. They offer holidays to their home in the south west of France, either one-to-one or in a group, depending on individual wishes and finances.

How much does King Edward House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask King Edward House 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.
