Questions families ask
Does St Michael's accept residents with dementia?
Not generally. They do not accept residents with dementia as a general nursing home, and assess each admission to determine whether they can meet the person's needs.
How quickly can someone move in after admission is accepted?
Usually the following day, provided the person is medically fit for discharge and transport and medication have been arranged. They do not accept admissions on Fridays or at weekends.
What can residents bring to St Michael's?
They can bring clothing, toiletries and personal items such as a television, radio or photographs. The maintenance and housekeeping team helps organise the room.
What types of care funding does St Michael's accept?
They accept self-funded care, Local Authority contributions and NHS Continuing Healthcare funded placements. A third-party top-up may be needed for some Local Authority-funded placements.
How much does St Michael's Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Michael's Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,277 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
