Questions families ask
Can residents bring small pets?
Usually. Most of their homes can accommodate small domestic pets.
Can residents bring their own furniture?
Yes. Residents can bring furniture and cherished possessions to make their room feel familiar. Electrical items must pass PAT testing, and furniture is subject to fire risk assessment.
What meals do residents receive each day?
They receive three meals daily, with snacks available throughout the day. Residents can choose from several breakfast options, eat in their rooms if preferred and have menus adapted to cultural needs.
What activities are available for residents?
They organise activities every day, including group sessions and one-to-one options. The activities team can also work around a resident’s established routines and personal interests.
Can residents keep seeing their existing doctor?
Yes, if the care home is within the doctor’s catchment area. Otherwise, the team can support registration with a local surgery and can also help with dentist registration and optical services.
How much does The Avenues Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Avenues Care Centre 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.
