About Prince Michael of Kent Court
Prince Michael of Kent Court supports older people and younger adults with residential care and residential dementia support. Personal care, meals, medication and activities form part of the care-home service, with support matched to assessed needs.
Shorter stays are also available through respite care, alongside permanent care. Families considering a temporary placement can therefore explore a service that offers both ongoing accommodation and breaks from usual caring arrangements. Respite stays subject to room availability may be used a maximum of twice a year, with at least three months between stays, so the current terms matter when planning a stay.

Questions families ask
How much does Prince Michael of Kent Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Prince Michael of Kent Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £922 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Prince Michael of Kent Court whether it takes residents funded by Hertfordshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
