About Star Care Lodge

The Lodge has 13 bedrooms across three floors and provides around the clock care services with waking or sleeping night staff, one-to-one support, shared hours, day services and community integration.

Questions families ask
From what age do they accept supported living residents?
They support adults aged 18 and over with learning disabilities, mental health needs or complex needs.
Is an assessment required before admission?
Yes. Potential service users must have their needs thoroughly assessed before entering the Lodge, in line with CQC regulations.
How long is the initial assessment period?
The initial assessment lasts between three and six weeks, depending on the severity and complexity of the client’s needs.
Is a referral needed to become a resident?
Yes. A referral is required before someone can become a resident at the Lodge.
Can staff visit someone at their current accommodation?
Yes. Staff can arrange to visit a prospective resident at their present accommodation.
How much does Star Care Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Star Care Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Medway council paid on average £1,100 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.
