DCA Kent

DCA Kent is a home care agency based in Margate, in the Kent council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Margate office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Achieve Together, which has 20 branches in England. The agency has been registered since August 2025.

DCA Kent has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

DCA Kent has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Kent. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
