Welcome to Kent's Hill
Kents Hill opened in 1998, to enable older people to continue living as independently as possible by receiving care and support consistent with their incapacities and disabilities. Several of our established residents, and most new applicants, now require higher levels of care and support than we had originally planned. We have responded to these changes by improving our material and staffing provision, without losing sight of our original aim.
We continue to value each and every individual, who comes to live at Kents Hill. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life and with many different needs, who enjoy the opportunity to share and celebrate the richness and diversity of their experience. All residents are assured that they will be treated with respect and dignity according to their individual needs and wishes.
People who enquire about our accommodation and services are provided with a brochure and additional information as appropriate. All enquirers are made aware of our diversity and anti-discriminatory policies and are encouraged to visit the home before continuing with their application. They may then apply directly for a place at Kents Hill, although most applications follow an assessment of need made by the local authority Social Services. This includes an assessment of their financial circumstances, which will determine any funding to which they may be entitled as a contribution to the costs of their accommodation and care.
