About Ulcomb House
Ulcomb House provides residential and supported living services for young people and adults with learning disabilities, including people who may have challenging behaviour, mental health difficulties or forensic histories. The service is designed to help residents develop skills, make meaningful decisions and progress towards more independent living.
Staff create person-centred care plans, provide positive behaviour support and teach practical life skills. Residents may live alone, with family or in multi-occupancy houses, where teams can support tenancies, bills and everyday responsibilities. The wider service also works with education, vocational opportunities and the criminal justice system. Its six-bedded home offers town-centre accommodation that promotes community inclusion and includes 24-hour cover with emergency support where necessary.

How much does Ulcomb House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ulcomb House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kent council paid on average £1,834 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
