How this list is ordered

Homes in Kent are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.

Questions families ask

What should care homes for young adults offer?

Younger adults may want age-appropriate routines, relationships, work, education and community access alongside personal or nursing care. Ask how the service avoids an institutional or older-person-only model.

How many care homes for young adults are there in Kent?

13 care homes for young adults in Kent are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Kent?

Kent council paid on average £1,096 a week for residential care and £1,277 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,834 and £1,432. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
