About May Lodge
May Lodge supports people with learning disabilities and complex needs through residential care and specialist adult services. CareTech’s wider offer includes supported living and other tailored support for adults who need help with independence, inclusion and everyday wellbeing.
Support is personalised around individual needs and aspirations. Staff complete an approved induction programme and continue with annual training, while the organisation can work with social services or people arranging care through direct payments. CareTech also provides independent supported living for people moving away from residential options. May Lodge therefore sits within a broader pathway of residential and community-based support.

Questions families ask
Can people buy CareTech services directly?
Yes. People can purchase services directly from CareTech, and the provider has arrangements for people receiving direct payments. Social services will generally still need to be involved.

Yes. CareTech provides independent supported living and transition services for people with learning difficulties and for people with mental health difficulties who want to move away from residential options.
What training do CareTech staff receive?
Staff complete an approved induction programme covering practical subjects and values training. They also keep a learning book and complete a required amount of training each year.
How much does May Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask May Lodge 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.
