About Woodside Residential Care Home
Dementia-focused residential care is provided at Woodside Residential Care Home, a 32-bed home in Dover set within six acres of woodland. The home is registered as a care home without nursing and caters for people living with dementia who require residential support. Its setting combines accommodation with shared living areas and surrounding grounds.
Woodside is part of Charing Healthcare, whose care homes provide support for older people and people with dementia. The home’s size and residential format may suit families looking for a dedicated dementia care environment rather than a general assisted living setting. Visitors can assess the accommodation, outdoor setting and care arrangements when considering a placement.

Questions families ask
How much does Woodside Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Woodside Residential Care Home 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Woodside Residential Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Kent council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
