About Moordean
Moordean provides specialist residential support for adults with learning disabilities and additional behaviours that challenge community services. Its approach is informed by Positive Behaviour Support, using values-led and data-informed methods to understand needs, build skills and support quality of life.
The service operates community homes in North Kent, with properties placed near local amenities and public services. Residents are encouraged to take part in everyday decisions and develop greater control over their lives, while accommodation includes homes adapted for people with complex or changing needs.

Questions families ask
Who is this specialist care service for?
It supports adults with a learning disability and additional behaviours that challenge community services.
Do they use Positive Behaviour Support?
Yes. They use Positive Behaviour Support with values-led and data-led approaches to understand and support people’s needs.
Do they prioritise local placements?
Yes. Service users from the local catchment areas are prioritised, although placements are also offered to other commissioners.
How much does Moordean cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Moordean for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,834 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
