Questions families ask
How long can a respite care stay last?
Usually up to eight weeks, depending on individual circumstances. Longer stays lasting several months may also be considered after an individual assessment and care plan.
Can someone try the home before moving in permanently?
Yes. Day care can provide time to experience the home, meet the team, socialise and take part in activities before making a longer-term decision, subject to availability.
Are children allowed to visit residents?
Yes. Visitors of all ages are welcomed, including younger children and other younger generations.
Are care plans agreed with residents and their families?
Yes. Care plans are created after discussing care needs and preferences with residents and family members, with relevant medical professionals consulted. Plans are reviewed regularly and changes are communicated clearly.
How much does Wantsum Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wantsum Lodge 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.
