About St James Mews
St James Mews provides residential support for adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, including those with complex needs and behaviours of distress. The home combines communal spaces with support designed around each person’s independence, wellbeing and daily life.
Liaise uses Positive Behaviour Support and PROACT-SCIPr-UK training within its care model. Referral assessment explores the individual’s needs, while transition planning begins after a placement offer is accepted. The service can draw on internal PBS specialists for complex behaviour, and families are included through an engaged next-of-kin network. The home is close to Dartford town centre.

Questions families ask
How quickly do they respond to a care referral?
They respond to an enquiry within 24 hours of receiving the referral. They then arrange an assessment within five working days and make an offer within 10 working days after the assessment.
What happens after making a referral?
They arrange an assessment to understand the individual’s needs within five working days. After the assessment, they make an offer within 10 working days, then begin co-produced transition planning once the placement is accepted.
Can families visit the homes before accepting a placement?
Yes. They encourage people considering a placement to visit their existing homes or new homes as part of the process.
How much does St James Mews cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St James Mews 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.
